Any pics of how you've mounted the jig to the rear of the car? Or even could you tell me? I've just bought steel to make a roll-over but haven't yet decided how the rear was going to be fixed. Front I was going to use the front forward sub-frame mounts. Your method certainly is easier for the...

I've a list of things to do before Monday but send me the advert / details and I'll find out where it is and see what I can fit in.

Your thinking of buying I assume. Clio?

What do u mean by check out a car?

I'm up for a get together guys. Not running the Clio at the moment as its now a project for which I should really get a thread up for, but however, I'm still game as long as you all dont mind a non Renault tagging on the back for a while. Zeitgeist0190, why dont you remove the rear seats and...

Get a head gasket kit. Should come with a rocker cover and head gasket, oval intake rubbers, metal exhaust gasket, cam seal and valve stem oil seals which look like mushrooms. a complete kit would cost lots from Renault but about £46 from the likes of Eurocar parts. I got one from a local motor...

Can be speed sensor, plug going into speed sensor or wiring. In my case on the first occasion it was the sensor then on the second, the plug, and on the third, the wire running from the ECU to the dash had broken just below the battery before the engine bay fuse box. On mine the green wire...

Well the best way to choose wiring is to look at the current draw from the screen on the back label or in the instructions. Most stand alone screens I’ve come across don’t need much more than a couple of amps. So 16awg wire is good enough. 16awg has a max of about 3.5Amps 14awg has a max of...

I would say the thermostat is stuck open and "leaking" coolant into the rad from cold. Being summer you probably wont have used the internal heater to have noticed any reduced performance but if this is the case then smart money is on the thermostat. Easy way to check is to start the car from...

It will have OBD connection but it isn't OBD2 compliant as Fastchip says. The Ebay OBD reader will not work unless it has Renault specific software. You need something like the Autel FR704 which has French software (Renault, Citroen) Even then the information you can grab will be limited to...

Will this be a problem, in a word, yes. I have taken bonded and smoothed side skirts off before and the only way is to cut them off and sand down the fibre glass and/or filler until you reach the original bodywork. Its means that you have to prep and paint the side of the car so isn't something...

Have dad this once before and it was down to me not tightening up the wheel nuts properly so assuming you have checked this as per your first post, then I'd agree with Danny.

Sounds like they were actually trying to steal the car bud. You would take the passenger wheel off to gain access through the wheel arch to the battery wiring and ecu wiring. If you are so inclined there are ways to take the alarm inactive. You wouldn't get it started easily that way but you...

The handle is linked to the door mechanism by a metal rod held in place by plastic retainers. My guess is one of the clips has broken and the resultant play in the rod means the door only opens some of the time.

Not trying to make you worry but I left my car on a charger while I was away on holiday and came back to a burnt out ECU. No comms from the ECU when plugged in gave me the final nod to replace the ECU after a morning of checking absolutely everything. The immobiliser light was acting normally...
