Hi all,
I've had the starter motor off this morning and tested the solenoid and motor using jump leads on the clios battery. The solenoid clicks across and the motor turns.
I've got 12v at the 13mm nut the holds the +ve lead on from the battery. I've also got 12v when I turn the key at the...
I managed to bump start the car today and it bumped off fine. Theres also another problem now though as its now idling at 3000rpm!!
I'm yet to check the connectors etc on the starter motor but they are quite badly covered in oil. Plus its raining yet again :(
Any ideas why its idling at 3000...
Will try these few suggestions when it's day light! The other night when I went out it was dark and then decided it wanted to absolutely throw it down!
I think I understand about the key boldswede. I'm thinking it a stuck starter though by the symptoms.
boldswede what do you mean by holding the key at different angles? Will it not only go in the ignition at 2 angles due to the way the key goes in? I'm confused?!?
I've got some more info as of tonight:
-I've replaced the batteries in the key. This did not make a difference.
-The...
I thought the battery in the remote was just for the remote central locking?? I have a similar starting problem and the light does not light up on my key. I just noticed but the remote locking did not work anyway.
Hiya Everyone,
I have a T reg 1.2 8v.
It started fine yesterday but I came out to it this morning nothing at all. I tried to jump it off using another car but the car does not even turn over. With the jump leads on or not.
At first I thought the battery must of had it but the dash lights...
I'll try the simplest idea 1st then c if that works.
I cannot tighten the motor up as it's a manual sunroof but I suppose I cud do the vaseline idea. Would the vaseline not perish the rubber tho?
Need to get this sorted as when it does leak it more than leaks it pours outs all over my...
I have a K reg 1.4 Clio RT. I'm currently doing work on it to get it back on the road. Every week I start it up and drive it down my driveway to keep the brakes ok etc.
I went down my driveway today and brakes hard and water came pouring out of the front of the roof lining down my windscreen...
I tried doing my torsion bar the other week and it was seized to hell!
If it's seized am I better taking it to some where specialist to have it done or just keep trying myself?
I have a K reg 1.4 RT clio and mine has the immobiliser in the glove box.
They are standard arn't they as I only found out about mine when I read the owners manual!
Hiya everyone,
I have a K reg 1.4 Clio RT. Everythings ok with it but on the Near side there is rust at the bottom of my door and quite a big hole in my rear arch. Is it worth getting some one to do the work or should I just scrap it or sell it as spares or repairs? I have no time to do the...
Cheers mate for the info but my clio currently has no tax and mot and was thinkin of doin the engine while it's off the road and I'm doing all the rest of the work.
Any more info anyone?
Hi everyone,
I own a K plate 1.4 RT clio. I have some plans for my clio but was wondering about an engine change.
I am located in Leeds and was wondering where the nearest place is that would put me a 1.8 16v clio engine in my car for a good price.
If not is it simple enough to do with a...
Hiya all,
I've been registered on here quite a few months now, being interested in clio's n all.
I've finally purchased my 1st clio :D With me being 17 it's only a 1.4 RT but it's nice enough for now.
Is there any major problems with the 1.4's or are they ok?
Cheers
You'd probably have been better selling your old clio privately to get the most money.
I think the old clio looked nice but would rather have the power of the 182 :D
