Hi All,
Having crashed my Impreza when racing at Brands Hatch on Easter Monday I am now the proud owner of a Clio 182 Cup, which I hope to gradually convert into a Tin Top race car.
My first impressions are what a great fun car......and I've only had positive comments about the car from motorsports enthusiasts.
My son Rob and I will be taking the car to Lydden Hill on 19th May for a trackday in full standard trim to have fun and get a benchmark for any future modifications.
If anyone from here is going please meet up, ours is blue, EX54 something or other!
I will soon be after advice on roll cages, suspension and brake upgrades, however we do have an immediate starting issue which I could do with help with!
The car decided not to start, turns over a couple of times then stops trying, I locked and unlocked the car a few times then it finally started.
Read a bit on the net about key fobs etc and tried the other key. Was fine for a number of starts, then the same issue.
The only odd thing I noticed is there was a mechanical whirring noise when unlocking prior to the car starting successfully, which doesn't seem to be there when the car fails to start.
Do I need the keys recoded? Simple fob battery change? or something else?
Any advice welcome
Many thanks, Andy
