I'm thinking (hoping) linkage as well. I think whatever moves the linkage to the left has worked loose/broken/misaligned. The fact that reverse and down is now a gear (where the gearlever never even went there previously) makes me think this is what it is.
I certainly hope it is this as having...
I was on a track day at the weekend, car ( 07 197 cup) and gearbox going great until I came into the pits. Went to put the car into second gear only to find second gear is now 4th gear! Tried first gear, it goes in but it is now 3rd gear! I manage to get back to the car park, park the car up for...
If you have a look at my project thread the full details are on there mate.
I've stuck it on pistonheads as well - http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/renault/renaultsport-clio/renault-clio-x65-renaultsport-182-16v-2005-track-car/4488490
Small update - I've sorted all the wee niggly bits. The speedo is working, DS2500 pads fitted and brake fluid changed using AP Racing Formula DOT 5.1 fluid and got a set of 15’s with a set of 205 width soft compound Toyo R888’s for track.
I got it confirmed that the car has been remapped and...
Found the two back ones after a quick crawl under the car, they were disconnected so I've reconnected them. ABS and traction lights are still on so I'll take a guess that the fronts are disconnected as well. Will need to take the front wheels off and try and find them.
Thanks for that, i'll have a look tonight.
No idea why anyone thought it was a good idea to disable the ABS, it must have been an absolute pig to drive on track, more so in the rain!
I take it the only things it can really be is the fuse in the dash, the sensors/sensor wires or the ABS ecu?
Is it the 10 amp fuse in the side of the dashboard? I checked that and it seems to be there and intact. Is there any other fuses/relays i should be checking?
50/50 bias sounds about right going with the way it feels on braking at the moment. Definitely need to get it sorted otherwise i'll be...
The ABS/Traction light is on in my track 182 and as a result the speedo isn’t working either. It was the previous owner that had disabled/removed/whatever the ABS so i have no idea where to start looking to re-enable it.
I would rather have the speedo working when driving it to/from track as...
Is there any way to tell if a car has been re-mapped or not?
I was told mine was but i'm not 100% convinced and just wanted to find out if there was any way of checking?
Ok, Took the car out on its maiden voyage to see what was what. First impressions – noisy, but that’s to be expected!
Not overly convinced it’s been re-mapped either but it’s hard to say for sure, not sure if there is any way of finding out?
Another problem is the speedo doesn’t work which I...
I can't seem to edit the photos in as planned due to an editing time limit so here they are -

The bumper-
And how it looks now -
So having got the bug to get back into doing some track days without the previous high cost of running my last track car (a 600 bhp Subaru STi) I decided a Clio sport was the way to go. I’ve previously had one as a second car for the road and found it fast and capable and a visit to knockhill...
