hi after a clio diesel but only have £700 will this get me one without major problems ? cheers :)

so with new mounts and a thermostat it should be better ? another thing is the car running quite lumpy and idles really low just above 500rpm i rev it the car nearly cuts out also if i turn the steering to full lock the car either nearly cuts out or does and also the stop light and battery...

i think the top mount at the driver side is gone too as you can wiggle it a little so think its gone and the dogbone one is it easy to change and how much is it ?

yep buying a haynes manual off ebay tonight so will be here in a few days gonna fit the spark plug tomorrow after picking up the car then i will scan the rest of the items to see if i can see anything that it could be :) will be back if i need any help :)

also gonna clean the TB aswell as they can starve the engine of air if dirty :)

could be to do with the air intake side aswell gonna buy a haynes manual for it and get on with the jobs :) gonna check the spark plugs and replace change the ht leads and coilpack check the cts and tdc sensor and idle control should be one of these i think . but will see when i get the car...

no mines is defo this engine which is a 8v...

ok will replace the spark plugs and see what happens then the coilpack and leads :) also could the spark plugs leads and coilpack cause low idle speed and and nearly cutting out after letting the gas pedal off ? if its not these what else could it be ?

stirlingshire mate :)

so is it likely to be the coilpack if the spark plugs dont sort it ? it sounded quite dull which would maybe be it missfiring ?

hi hi ive got a lumpy/low idle engine fault on my car and wanted to know would a code reader be able to point me to my fault ? thanks

would a code reader find my problem ?

well today i went to get the spark plugs for when i get it tomorrow . can anyone give me a guess to the symptoms if its gonna be the spark plugs or coilpack at fault or anything else ?

is there anyway of telling which it is its a x reg but can find out what the when it was made ??

hi bought a 2000 renault clio 1.4 sport today but when i started it it was running lumpy and the revs were sitting lower than they should and also when reved and left to idle it sounded like it was about to cut out on me . now i was told that the car had been sat for around 4 months so...
