Clio 197 buying advice... DONT Martin, 35, bitten by 2x Clio 197 and 1x Clio 200

yeah the crank pulley (as well as the cam pulleys) are not keyed so if the bolt is removed the timing can slip, if that's the case its not slipped enough to cause damage just requires locking and reset (assuming that is the case obviously)

First you would need to find out if the car is pre wired for cruise control, id take a guess at no due to cost saving since no model that late had cruise control, in the 2001-2005 cars you could option cruise control so it made sense to just have one wiring loom that could accommodate both. If...

did they remove the crank pulley to get the belt on as they didn't have a tool for the auto tensioner? I've seen a r****d attempt that before.

This, Rather not listen to music at all than listen to some amazon all in one

Was the crank pulley replaced?

Owned a 133 Never driven the other pair but i was running out of options since most have been picked!

crank sensor connected? faulty?

Incorrect, its 4 bolts on a RB, LY, PB - The others only have 1 bolt.

The donor car that I used to build my 182 van had a limp mode issue, the previous owner had thrown the parts cannon at it via a garage who were guessing. It had a new accelerator pedal and a new throttle body, I unplugged the white connector under the fuse box, cleaned up the connections and...

Yeah but if he's unplugged or damaged the connector to the solenoid while removing the inlet it won't be working. Check the vvt solenoid connector is ok. Make sure the map sensor on the inlet is ok. Does it idle ok? Not higher than normal? No miss fire?

I am SOOO angry at myself that I've never thought about that! I was wrestling with one on my 1.2 16v a couple of weeks ago

I've never changed the seals but the rocker cover is a piece of piss to get off even if you need to remove it.

if its wandering about and just feeling "loose" then its most likely the rear dampers are shot or the track rods/rod ends but id start with dampers!
