update: steering wheel is fixed - actually the squib was fine, and i refitted it, the clock spring thing, not fine, and had shorted, and melted slightly so unplugged it, and all now seems ok with steering the lack of power in all gears after 2.5k rpm is also now ok, i removed MAP sensor...

Ah ok. :(

Ok thanks - I have a few things to try by the look of it - I’ll report back asap ! Bloody nightmare this - can’t believe it’s so complex

I am in Italy until next week so will try the suggestions then and report back! Appreciated all the helpful advice

Car is track car - only driven to circuits not for general use

MOT next year is not really a priority atm - making the car work now is 😂

I did realise that - thanks for the compliments ;)

It’s only out by one or two teeth on the spline - but you are right - probably an experts job now - that’s if I can get a new squib

Ah ok that’s not too far - we’ll it is if the car doesn’t drive - I’ll give him a call if I can’t get it working :)

My parents live in Wickford I am in rochford - could you help ?

Thanks- emailed them - :) what a pain in the bum

Hope I can fix it - or my new 182 cup is immediately of action :(

Which bit is the squib and which bit is the sensor What was the long tape like thing that unravelled ?? It was a bit of a surprise - like a huge clock spring

So will the codes say if the steering sensor clock thingy is broken ?

My mate has a diagnostic I think so he can clear codes / reset - I am in Essex near Southend

Bugger :( opened a can of worms haven’t I

Ah ok - wow this is complex - thought changing the wheel is relatively straight forward - was on my old xr2 - yes it has abs button - I’ll try that see what happens - so turning abs off would in theory cure this ? What’s the fix if it is this ? Is the clock spring that huge long band of wire -...

Ah ok - so what would I need to do - the loose wires in the steering column causing the issues ?

It’s a 182 cup - I don’t have terminal under steer ? The off centre steering wheel is me not centring wheel correctly I am guessing - the issue Is the car loosing power in all gears over 3k rpm - as well as most lights on the dash now - certainly abs/airbag and a couple others are on - any ideas...

Ok, so it may not, and probably isn’t related - but I thought I’d give the full picture in case some one links what I did to the end result changed steering wheel, disconnected battery, the wire for the airbag would not budge, and broke when I tried to force it, not good…. So it all unwound...

going to attempt to fit my tarox front discs and CL pads today - wish me luck ! :D also some s**t tried to pinch my new TD's - i didn't bother with locking nuts, drove the car and noticed a knocking sound from the front left wheel.... one nut missing and the rest hand loose....., so rushed out...

yes it drove perfectly with the 16's on and road tyres! ok now i feel a bit dumb :D

ah yes i did think that

thank guys, it hasn't had tracking done rceently to my knowledge, it was on the list of things! any recommendations for discs and pads for track use? I was recommended Tarox grooved / vented dics and also Carbone Lorraine RC6 Brake Pads - are these any good, best part of £500 for these by the...

Hi all, so I've only just returned to Clio ownership for over 20 years, managed to get myself a lovely 182 Cup ( factory cup ) in RB and absolutely love it. I also bough the new Team Dynamic TD 1.2 LT wheels and Toyo888R tyres for track days. Going from the factory 16's and rubbish Chinese tyres...
