I only got the car back tuesday. Its been sat on my driveway for 3 weeks. The throttle cable rubbed through a battery cable and earthed the car out, losing all the key codes and melting the throttle cable and also killing my new battery. So after doing the work myself and waiting for Renault to be able to re-code my car and download software to my ecu, it looks like I now have more trouble.
I went up to my car at lunch and noticed the positive battery terminal was a bit loose, 2/3rds of a turn. Run the car with EVERY electrical item on and no sign of the light. Is it possible this was causing the problem?
Also how expensive is it to fit a alternator? Anyone know?
Looked at gs&f in Hemel and can get one from there for £7? plus vat, Just feel guilty asking my mate, he always curses when fixing my car as theres no room to move and hes a fairly big lad so hasnt got the hands of a 5yr old which are required for doing anything on the 16v.
