If you are getting a strong smell of fuel the injector is more than likely working. I would be looking at the coil pack and leads, you will probably find cheap parts were used

All i can think of is, Badly worn bushes on rear axle A coil of the spring broken off lowering the ride height on one side Buckled wheel, have you hit any kerbs as the OZ wheels are prone to buckle I would take the car to a workshop with a pit (so you can get under the car with wheels on the...

Is there a spacer on the other side ? Is the arch liner fitted correctly ? Have you had new wheels or tyres fitted ? Can you see where the wheel has been touching, this will give an indication as to whether it is a ride height problem or something to do with the spacers.

The bracket the goes from the gearbox to dogbone bush, check the two bolts that hold the bracket to the box. I had a similar knock that would only happen when backing off at higher revs. Very annoying !!

There is an flimsy shield (exhaust shield i think) that bolts to the n/s/r with the exhaust mounting bracket. I have had issues with this rubbing on mine. I also have the same issue on a trackday and turned out the tyre had delaminated causing the tyre to be out of shape, unlikely but worth...

Rear shocks, took me a while but made a huge difference once done !

I have had exactly the same problem last couple of months. Ended up not starting at all last week. I got the spare key out and it fired up straight away meaning my key is knackered. Do you have a spare key you can try ?

Would anyone know the internal differences between the megane 165 (F4RT 776) and the Megane 225 (F4RT 774) engines. Thanks

Yes you are definitely missing a bolt, the stud has come out with the nut. You can put from what i can see an M8x1.25 bolt in that hole with a washer similar size to the one on the opposite side. The cable looks like an earth cable. I would check the cable with a test light if you are really...

Matt, Is the engine turning over or are you getting nothing at all ? If it is turning over, is the little red immobiliser light flashing ?

There is a rubber grommet with a plastic mesh filter attached to it that the pump pushes into, remove the grommet from the reservoir and you will notice (more than likely) a big bogey hanging off it..... Give it a clean and if you can, blast out the reservoir while you are in there to avoid it...

I would go with this, i had this problem when i first got my Clio. Plus it will not cost you a penny to try it out !

Was the clockspring a new part from Renault ? It can still be faulty if it is genuine, live data can confirm the steering angle sensor is working. Alternatively it could be a cracked ABS ring

Get some negative camber on the front. I put 1.5 - 2 degrees neg camber and solved my problems. Helps out a lot on track too. You can machine the top hole of the hub to shock mounting point and take it to a decent wheel alignment shop who can get it right for you.

Next time it makes the noise, rest your foot on the clutch pedal to see if the noise changes tone or goes away. I had the same problem on my Clio and was the clutch release bearing. The bearing was noisy until i drove the car and it warmed up a bit.
