guys i need your help sorting a misfire,
Its a 2004 1.2 16v
I plugged it in and it was saying misfire, cylinder 4
No problem, so number 4 being (closest to engine mount) i pulled the HT lead off and no change,
I then plugged it in again and it now says cylinder 1 (nearest gearbox) but if i...
Little bit of a strange one, had a search but cant find anything similar,
Basically, the cd player doesnt come on with the ignition, and doesnt go off when you turn the car off,
Whilst driving it thinks the car is off and beeps and shuts off to save power
If it was aftermarket id be looking...
Sorry guys another RS tuner based thread,
Basically im thinking of buying an rs tuner for diagnostics, we have 4 clios in the household (lucky us, not)
a 182, 2x 1.2 and a 1.4
I was going to buy the abs and airbag modules to go with it as between us we have abs lights and airbag lights on lol...
Bit of a strange one this, been happening for a while but curiosity is getting the better of me,
I havent had it plugged in yet,
Basically ill set off, and then ill get to 30mph
The stop and handbrake light will come on, stay on, and the speedo will drop to 20mph
Give it a mile down the road...
Strange one this,
Other day driving to work, stop and handbrake light came on solid, no flickering like usuall when fluid/pads are low
, turn car off, drive a little bit and it goes off,
Brake fluid is fine, pads are fine, if i drive straight, no problem, take a roundabout (normal speed)...
last few weeks the idle has been lumpy on the clio (2003 1.2 16v) every now and again when cold, after the first 5 seconds of being lumpy it'll be fine, and it'll drive great, no issues at all,
Sunday i cleaned the throttle body out and it drove fine Sunday and to and from work Monday which is a...
as above really, going to get the cambelt done on the 1.2, are the waterpumps from motorfactors any good or are they a known part to stay genuine for ?
cheers

quick question, in preparation of needing to replace my UCH/Key
is the decoder ring around the barrel coded to the key/uch/ecu? or does it just decode it and feed the info back.
reason i ask is that i thought they were all needed as part of a kit, but i've seen people selling used kits without...
Long story short, about 2 months ago i had the flashing 'immobiliser' Led issue on my 2003 1.2 billibong daily
Great, ive trawled through threads on here and tried most things…
When i say its not the usual, it goes weeks at a time without issue
it used to do it nearly every time i tried to...
Just noticed this on my 1.2,
Both rear tyres arent that old and are wearing on the outsides,
It hasnt long had new rear wheel bearings on the back,
I did think a buckled wheel but cant have two surely?
At a loss really as the back is a fixed beam
Any ideas?
Im a bit lost on this one, my brother took his 182 for tracking to ATS yesterday (limited for garages here)
Put his car on the ramp and called him into the workshop, guy there said he cant touch the tracking as there was something wrong with the anti roll bar.
Now my brother doesnt know...
Looking for a bit of help, i know its hard to diagnose over the internet but just after some pointers
Theres no noise at all when the car is cold, went for a drive and the ticking/tapping appears, theres no dephaser on these (i dont think lol) so im ruling that out
It appears to be coming more...
Hi guys, im selling a dci exhaust (flexi back) on ebay and been asked if its the same as a 1.2?
it looks the same as other 1.2 exhausts ive seen on ebay but wouldnt like to say yes if it isnt,
i understand the downpipe/cat/flexi will be different
mine:
Random ebay one:
but the centre...
As title really, asking on behalf of a mate whos going through a rough patch (lost their dad in an accident 2 weeks ago :( )
its a 14 plate fiesta ZS so hopefully it wont need paint
its gloss red if this makes a difference,
ive had a quick search, will it need wet and drying and then polished...
Hi guys, its very rare i post in this section but im trying to 'get into' detailing.
last thread i posted was that i was going to paint correct my mk1 RS, got recommended scholl s17 and used a 3m yellow pad, got great results amd was very happy for my first go.
over the winter it accumulated...
Had the car for just over a year now so thought id do a little write up on the progress.…
I used to have a LY182 which i absolutely loved (still miss it)
but things started changing, i got a new job and just felt the time was right to get the RS i wanted since i was 13, so i already...
Strange one this guys,
as the title says, when i turn my light on the clocks fail to illuminate, the mileage shows and the other symbols on the clocks light up such as headlights on light
But the rest fails to light up, ive checked the fuses and all are ok
any ideas?
thanks
Adam
Hi guys, ive had a search and couldnt really find much, apart from oil level but ive topped that up
just the serv light is illuminated on my 1.2 non sport, no abs, esp airbag light, just the serv light
ive plugged my code reader in and its not finding any faults amd when you try and clear it...
This is a pot luck sort of question lol,
below is a pic of a DCi lump, and it aint looking pretty, i dont know if oil is coming from the cambelt area or from somewhere else and getting 'flung' about,
what seals etc are known to leak cambelt side so i can investigate as its a pretty good lump...
as per title really, are they are the same as I cant imagine Renault making loads of different doors, doorcards etc ?
i'm breaking a car on ebay and the guy wants to ensure he buys a door from a 5 door car ?
or am I just being stupid?
thanks
Adam
Hi guys,
sadly the lump in my dci van has died, after trying to resolve a cooling issue, i think the head gasket has gone,
Was driving at around 70 on the dual carriageway from work and it spluttered, cut out so
i bumped it as i was driving, then it started pouring out white smoke out the back...
The paint on the focus has bugged me since i
bought it (few days before christmas just gone)
car has been looked after mechanically but looks like its seen some car washes and what i think may be wash brush marks :(
so with the weather breaking and show season coming up i best get cracking...
Hi guys,
since buying the RS the paint work has constantly bugged me and with the good weather lately its looking really sorry for itself,
the paintwork is heavily swirled and i want to correct it as much as i can,
my mate has loaned me his rotary, and it has a backplate for 6" pads,
ive had...
Having a bit of trouble with my DCi :(
It started to not register a temperature on the gauge even after driving for 40miles so i changed the thermostat and housing and coolant sensor, but this part was from a motor factors
on the way home from work the other day the coolant warning light came...
