Right, cheers mate. 
dCi 65 + C2 (<Sold)
Thanks a lot buddy, nice to know.
I'm going to give it to the garage properly instead of taking it back all the time and not giving them a proper chance to see what's going on after getting insured on her car. Can't find the time these days to D.I.Y.

Wow cheers! Will mention it when I book it in. I see the no.1 best seller is Renault Injectors lol.

£800-odd quid I've been quoted.
Boost pipework replaced
Fuel pump replaced
Fuel filter replaced
Pump cover (didn't quite catch this bit) replaced
No.2 Injector replaced and re-coded
Timing Belt + Kit
Labour - £250ish
Parts - £550ish
Total - £800ish
= SKINTO
He says this might not even restore it to full health, it'll resolve the glow plug issue but to fully 100% be certain of a proper restoration he says all the injectors need to be replaced, and there's absolutely no point in that. If this work makes the car driveable and keeps it driveable for the next 140,000 miles then I'm happy.

No faults anymore guys.
Got two injectors replaced, boost pipework replaced and a new genuine Renault fuel pump.
This cleared all the errors but it's still cutting out when I put the boot to the floor. Strange, but best it's going to get I feel.
Just letting you know.

I thought about it, I really did but decided financially, although I'm financially in a position to do it, our house deposit comes first and the car still works, I just can't boot it.
Will look for air bubbles, what could that be if there are?
Also car is now being filled up using Shell Extra or V Power only. Next service @ 72k (it's on 65k).

And that could cause big problems?

F*cking brilliant mate, will have a look tonight!
Is it a big job to do if that's the problem?

Also just found out if I put a full tank in it it leaks slightly underneath the drivers seat? Could that be related?
/my dad mentioned it last night, the c*nt.

But that wouldn't physically cause it not to start?
Im not an expert by no means, but at the rear of the engine there should/would of been a blackbox that "protects" some ECU wires of some sort. The box rubs and damages the wires throwing up all sorts.
I've read to remove box if there and repair and insulate each wire separately.

Cause it would. If somethings shorted/broken ecu might be getting wrong info/no signal. Wouldnt take much really. Just a thought, loom faults are common on the 1.2 16v's
dCi 65 + C2 (<Sold)
Interesting! Never considered the ECU itself could be faulty. Once it's cleared it's fine for about 5 days, then it all goes t1ts up again.

Always buy from Shell mate.
I realise that this is most likely pissing in the wind, but try replacing the earth straps. I remember having problems with a derv clio we converted from petrol and it turned out to be a crappy earth strap. Therefore throws the electrics out.

any chance of a bit more info on the bubbles in the lines problem?
I am having some starting issues with my van, - it doesnt like it
i can see bubbles in the lines under the bonnet.
i changed air filter, glow plugs and cleaned egr valve. no major difference
i bought a fuel filter (to be fitted)
should i take a look at the sender unit. is it a messy job? should i wait until tank is basically empty or will it be fine?
cheers

I've got a fuel leak and a possible blocked strainer, going into the garage on Sat. Think this could have been the problem all along.
It's a £45 job, and I may have spent well over £900 unnesseraliy (ffs sp? Too early).

Ok so it's going into the garage in two weeks time (the guy's on holiday argh!).
He's going to:
Drop out the tank, check it, replace the f*cked seal, put new pipework on it, and check the strainer.
Still not starting properly and chucking out horrendous amounts of white smoke when it finally starts.

Aye, still think if the above doesn't work, I'm out and it's staying as it is.

its a messy job yes. i would let the tank run to under a quarter of a tank have so cloths ready and have some patience. its an idea to replace the locking ring and seal around the sender aswell.

Think disconnecting the battery would do anything?
It's not taking as long to start now, maybe 3-4 seconds but the light is still on.
No loss of MPG, unfortunately I don't know if it's performing 100% because it's never been 100% since it's been in my ownership.
It still pulls even though all the lights are flashing, but whether it pulls like it should, I've no idea.

Words cannot describe how utterly furious I am at the moment.
My car gave up the f**king ghost tonight, 25 miles away from home. Pulled up to a junction, and heard BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG on it's idle, whoaps, that's not good but drove about half a mile to my destination anyway. Got there, opened up the bonnet all the while this is banging away fairly rapidly and very loudly, burny smoke coming from what looked the fuel pump, somewhere in that area.
No idea what it is, but looks like whatever has been giving me problems has finally killed itself and/or the engine.
The specialist is on holiday for a week, so no idea where I'm going to get it towed to. Got a lift home from the in-laws.
Any ideas guys? Really feeling sick at the moment considering spent over a grand so far.

Anybody? The banging is coming from the fuel pump. Really ear piercing.
