Yesterday afternoon about 4.30pm parked next to my Kia Rio.

Hi, I have exactly the same problem, the drivers door will not lock and no activity from the lock mech. In order for me to investigate, could somebody please guide me on how to remove and replace the door card? Best Regards Rob.

Kerry your a star! :cool: I will take a look and update the thread once I have begun the fault-finding. Many thanks Rob.

Hi kerry thanks for the reply. By instrument panel I mean the whole assembly that contains the speedo, rev counter and warning lights, if I can get in to that then I can conduct several tests to locate the faulty component. Best Regards Rob.

Yes I know the fuse is only a couple of pence however there is no point causing further damage to the car's systems? Maybe I did not make my post clear; placing a multi-meter in Current mode i.e. to measure DC Amps rather than volts creates a shunt through a 10 Amp fuse in the meter thus...

Good evening, I am hoping somebody can help me fault-find the instrument panel lights on my 1.2 Clio Sport Y reg please. I noticed the panel no longer illuminated and that the buzzer no longer sounds when the head lights are left on when the door is opened. I have searched various forums and...

What you need is a Nazies radar - no more hiding in unmarked cars! ;)

Most unmarked cars up this neck of the woods are dark blue BMW's usually occupied by two fat c**t's stuffing their faces with McDonald's.

Uniselector anyone? :eek:

You could rig up a relay to switch on the lights when the central locking is dis-engaged, maybe even have a lux-level sensor to determin whether it is dark enough to switch the lights. Plenty of circuts on the net for this type of application. Rob.

Yesterday parked outside the Queens in Lanchester around 19:30.

Think I seen the same car when visiting mates on Friday just gone near Ormsgill.

I am 30 and pay £1400 per year for a 1.2 Sport, only passed test in March this year so new driver etc. Rob.

Well to be honest mate body work work has a few blemishes, alloys curbed by previous owner and hole in silencer, other than that runs spot on. Y reg Clio Sport 1.2 16v, 76k on the clock. R.
