Is this something i could do on my driveway with ease? If so has anyone got a guide. Only thing im not sure on is the fill point.. Im going to buy some Redline MTL 75W80 thats correct isnt it? Thank you :)

no mate still drives fine. hopefully its just a bug i can clear because its been sat for a few weeks. and yea its never ending haha, ill hopefully have a look this weekend and it will be nothing serious :)

Little update, So after i fucked about for over a week trying to figure out the issue with the 197, i gave it to my mates garage. He looked at it and without doing anything just changed the fuse and relay for the starter motor. and guess what it started straight away. I checked the fuses my...

not me personally got a shock but i moved the heat shield and it sparked alot. i did forget to remove the battery connection tho.

That's the bar I couldn't remove:( becoming a pain in the tits this car!!

Tried to remove the strengthening bar from under the engine and sub frame last night :( didnt go according to plan. Got two nuts off, then the other two didnt want to be removed. the whole bolt is turning and wouldn't budge. Just to make sure 100% im getting another battery tonight to check...

I dont like wiggly amp things. Try to stay away from electrons haha. I did get a shock from the starter when I moved the heat shield so I know theres some form of power to the starter....

Did you volt check the battery before you got a new one?? Because I did this and it was reading 12.5v. :/

I do hate this car sometimes..... So if you haven't seen my other threads i broke down the other week. Got the Steering not locked message. got towed home. After some invest and a successful bump start we narrowed it down to starter motor. This is my next job. I have looked at it and my...

Thank you very much for that!! im sure it will help. The guide says nothing about the manifold tho and by the looks of the pics its already removed haha.

Can i still remove the starter tho with the heat shield attached. just move it to the side abit? then fit heat shield to new one before putting it on the car? iv already got the car up on axle stands as far as possible and am going to take the front beam bit off for better access. im hoping...

Need to change the starter motor. I have looked at how much of a pain in the tits its going to be but if anyone has done it i would love some info please. Any hints and tips would be great please. Thank you.

Have you bump started the car? Im currently in exactly the same situation with my 197. I have bought a new starter motor because it bump started and ran fine then, until i turned it off then wouldn't work again with same error 'steering not locked' If you have any other GEN on it let me know...

Tested the battery again with above 12v readings and that is with ignition on and radio and a/c etc. Got a few mates over last night to help see if we could bump start it and we did. Left it running for 15 mins and turned it off. Then wouldn't start again. So new starter motor I think...

Iv checked the battery with volt meter and its reading over 12v. Iv changed the key for battery's too. And checked all the fuses. Someone said it could be steering angle sensor. I have no idea where this is or how to go about checking tbh.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. It still wont start. Ignition comes on and it primes the fuel pump as if it's going to start then doesn't do anything. Press button again and it flashes up that messege. I'll get a multi meter on it see if it's that. Cheers

Clio wouldn't start and still wont. Had to get it recovered home. The fault steering not locked keeps coming up on dash. Iv had the battery off, full locked both ways the steering, kicked it, had they key cars in and out. Managed to get the steering lock on a few times but nothing helped...

UPDATE !!!! So my next track day is blyton Monday 4th June. Cannot wait tbh. As far as more modifications go to help on track, there hasn't really been any. I have some more Ad08s to go on (when they arrive) and powerflex upper engine mount torque Bush to fit this weekend. Oil will be getting...

Hello pal, not sure if this is much use but I'll be checking mine soon too as it makes a similar noise. https://www.meganeownersclub.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=18029&sid=2e5bbecb0c7e825b36a446b909b68aba&start=15
