anyone in the Hampshire area got an engine crane I could borrow until Monday? Will obviously collect and return and leave you with a deposit so I don’t do a runner?
Cheers lads
Hello, just brought a beaten Clio 182 thats in some desperate need of some TLC (was purchased cheap as a project) this is my first Renault sport so got a few questions for all you experts.
first off obviously a huge oil leak that seems to have coated one side of the engine, looks like a its...
Got my head around fuel trims so will have to keep an eye on that tomorrow whilst driving around at work! Haven't had much luck with lambda switching though google search isn't helping me with that one
dropped by a fair amount, was getting around 45mpg driving carefully and even close to 60mpg on the motorway now I'm struggling to get 35 driving like a granny
Very helpful reply cheers for that, pretty clever little devices really for the amount they cost! So if everything seems to be 'normal' back to the main reason for all this the drop in mpg is more than likely going to be down to the pre cat lambda you stated before
Went for the reader and the dash command app plugged it in and got it setup today and got the following readings whilst on a warm idle just wondering if anyone could confirm they're normal as I'm not 100% sure on what I'm looking for
Idle was sitting between 730-780 rpm with the engine...
Recently had a fairly large drop in my MPG with absolutely no change in my driving habits, car is a Clio mk2 1.6 16v 2002 was previously getting around 40-55mph with sensible driving and even up towards 60mpg on the motorway. Recently over the last month this has dropped down to around 34mpg and...
Tried to bend it last night so it was secure as possible has helped a lot but still makes a slight noise, gonna remove it tonight (just the one over the silencer) and if that stops it completely then I know it's my problem so will look into replacing it or fabricating something similar to go...
Hello guys over the past 2 weeks been getting a very annoying 'tinny' sound when under acceleration. Been reading through a fair few of the other threads on here about similar problems and how you can use larger washes etc to hold the heat shields back in place. Finally this evening I've managed...
Brought a mk2 1.6 16v back in april as a run about for work, previous owner had cambelt, water pump and all the other essentials done at 55k i purchased the car on 72k. Car has always had a dodgy idle and feels like its lacking power and lacking in how responsive it is compared to my friends car...
As i started driving the car and doing some serious miles 500+ a week sometimes, the car was in need of a few need parts including disks, pads and catalytic converter as the brakes were feeling pretty balls and the exhaust was blowing like a B**ch. Trip down to the local euro car parts for a set...
First off was a set of tinted team Heko wind deflectors picked them up online for a decent price and got them fitted to the car very quick job that makes a fair difference on the looks!
Next up was to do something with the front fog lights, I've seen a few people on here tint them yellow not...
Going to be a thread of my 2002 Clio 1.6 16v Dynamique, 2nd car I've owned and bit of a step up for a rusty old peugeot 206 1.1. Picked the car up back in april after the 206 blew up on me and been enjoying it since, mainly used for work which luckily involves a lot of fast/twisty back roads...
had a nice early finish today so thought id do some investigating on the air con system, pulled the front bumper off and checked over all the connections and managed to spot this, some kinda of powdery rust around what looks like a sensor? could this possibly be what is causing me to leak the...
seen a few o-ring packs on the internet just wanted to check and make sure you didn't need air con specific ones incase the was slightly different, cheers for the help
Fiver lost changed every year since new, then was changed when it was passed down to me 4 months ago, checked all round that area made sure there was nothing blocking the flow and it's all clear
The heater/aircon fan is ridiculously weak in my Clio 1.6 16v (52 reg) I know they should be more powerful than they are now as my old clio, same model just 1.2 had a much more powerful 'blow' even when on full wack they're are hardly blowing out air?? starting to get annoying especially with...
bit stupid but what are these? just gone under my car to change the cat and seen that these are in a horrid state, I know they're bushes but what type? Also what affect will they have on my car being in this condition??
