By earths do you mean the straps pictured above? Is this just a visual inspection for corrosion or can I test them with a multimeter in any way?

Not yet but Mick (Renault trained tech) said I wouldn't have a solid red light on the dash if it was the tdc. I'm going to try it anyway before if refit the battery

Right then, back to my issue. This morning I have: checked each and every fuse and found no blown ones in either the fuse box under the bonnet or at the end of the dash, no joy. removed each relay in the box under the bonnet and checked for any sign of corrosion and re-fitted them after...

What would you recommend first? Fuses and relays? Or is it more likely physical wiring? Should I simple check wiring for continuity?

Cheers, took a short notice holiday for tomorrow then the wife can work from home Tuesday freeing up her car again but I need to sort it swiftly as I've a 30 mile round trip to work. :(

Cheers Mick, the 2nd key has never been used, still has tags on it from new, surely I'd be unlucky to have both fail. I fear that if its the UCH then along with the need to do the belts and dephaser it'll be more economic to break it... :(

I think the fact that the immobiliser light stays lit rules out the TDC sensor fix (from what ive read) but I'm gonna try it anyway in the morning.

Cheers Gary, new suggestion so worth a try! If I do get it sorted it then needs cambelt and dephaser plus auxiliary belt doing.. :(

I'll check that in the morning, along with the relays. My alarm light near the gear stick is still flashing when armed though

Yes you did, I've still got the 182 I took from you in exchange! Can't help me get it running can you? ;)

Hi guys went out to my 182 this morning and it wouldn't start , had a few attempts then pinched the wife's car for work instead. I've searched the forums and tried a few things but had no joy so thought I'd start a new thread and describe as best I can the symptoms hopping that someone can help...

Am I too late to get in on this? My exhaust snapped at cadwell yesterday and I'm just having it bodged up to get me by, need a replacement asap. Ps, I have a 182 now, just not updated my profile.

Sorry to hear About this. Hopefully justice will prevail and brtish gas man will be found and punished. Such a shame t see another cup damaged. I wonder how many would still be with us if Reno had fitted abs....

^^ no problem mate. Very kind of you to offer.

I'm sure it will be. However I just want a little piece of mind. I appreciate the cars with 43k on them will however have a degree of wear and tear. Don't want to miss any consumable things that'll sting me with a big bill in the short term as I'm paying top money for a 182 and the while...

Or I could put the wife in the back and make her day!! ;)

I navigate the 'big smoke' via football grounds and steve tells the nearest ground is Charlton. I'll try to dig up a post code. If your brother wouldn't mind taking a look I'd see him right! ;). I'm collecting the car next Friday if all goes to plan.

I've read some horror stories about AA inspections, I'd rather use someone with a bit of brand knowledge.

Yeah I'm just about to move house, need to free some cash up so i don't end up in debt, other than the mortgage anyway! Plus I change cars often anyway. Since 2006 I've had a 172, valver, 225 + 197. seems only fair to give a 182 a crack, or a Vee! Can you strap a baby seat to the engine?! :)

^^^ it's one of Steves cars I'm looking at so I don't think he'd be completely impartial!! ;) :)

Hi guys, long time since I've posted on here and I'm looking for some advice and help. I'm trading my current vehicle to a independant dealer. (who is also a forum member on here) and taking one of his motors. Due to various reasons I'm going from a 14month old 197 I bought new to a 55 plate...

Hello All Thought I'd post thread detailing the total ineptitude I have suffered at the hands of reno in the past few months, I need to get this off my chest as I'm so p!ssed off its untrue. Bear with me as it's quite a tale!! I sold my 172 in March this year as I was getting married in...

Any spare tickets left? I need two. I'll paypal some one a fiver for there troubles if they come up with the goods. PM me please.

i've deleted the copy of nero now mrbilly, maybe shoudn't have done that. Its lost i'm trying to sort out roy, want to pass it around work so I have somebody to talk about the last episode with, I haven't a fookin clue what's goin on in it so i need someone else to watch it so we can discuss!!

cheers mrbillyuk but i've only got a hotmail account apart from a work email but i'd get shafted for using that. just downloading avi2dvd so i'll give that a go.

just looked at the spec of my nero and it says demo version, could this be the problem. I've also tried a couple of other encryption programs and suffered similar problems, wonder if it's a problem with my laptop??

its a sony dav sc6 dvd player but i'm not sure if it'll play avi's or not. Probably not given it's a sony. Wanted to pass the discs around to friends as well so i'd rather be able to burn them to full dvd

Hi all Got some avi files I want to put on dvd so they can be watched on a normal dvd player. I've got nero 7 but every time I run the conversion and burn process then watch it back the sound goes out of synch with the picture, anybody got any ideas?? Also if I watch the original clip...

Yeah got it of another forum user in bolton. 2 owners and 68k. FRSH and stacks of receipts from new. Heard a few nightmare stories about valvers so I made sure I got a good un (hopefully). White wouldn't have been my first choice but the car seemed right so I bit the bullet. Some area's of...
