Background story starts at 1. To skip the boring crap just read 2 for the question.
1.
A lad in work bought his dynamique 3 years ago, over the last month Renault has had it for 2 weeks. He has the limp home mode on and Renault can't fix it. The first dealer (Southport 2000) told him he needed spark plugs at £60. That didn't fix it, so they supposedly replaced some part of the loom under warrenty (which runs out in 3 days). The light stayed off for one day. So onto Renault Preston, when he rings up to ask whats wrong: "it the loom, we'll replace it". No further than 1 mile from the dealer the light comes on again. Back it goes. Its the throttle sensor; replaced. 2 days later the light is on again and up to Preston its gone.
2.
We dropped in at a local back street garage and the mechanic reckons that its a common design fault with the 2002 shape Clios, when it rains or under a power washer, water gets onto a relay which triggers the limp home mode. Has anyone heard of this? I've been on here for 2 years and haven't noticed anyone else with the same problem.
