So did an oil change on saturday, everything went well car drove and sounded fine since then but this afternoon started the car and a consistent knocking/banging noise is coming from the engine bay. Not sure what it is and cant pin point where it's coming from. Engine hasn't lost power and the...

So had the car up to do an oil change today and got a bit more access to the front sensor. Tried looking at it with my head positioned by the first cat on the exhaust and saw this: Think I may have found the problem. Frayed wire coming out of the connection to the sensor. Presumably the...

Definitely getting to the point of looking at CLIP. Actively figuring out whether I have an old laptop to put a 32bit system on. Can you not emulate a 32bit in the 64bit?

Good idea about disconnecting each sensor to see which one reproduces the behavior. Will try that in a few days and see how it goes. Would be good if we can repair these units ourselves. Must just be a standard potentiometer part surely...

Any ideas on that video? @Doogle @tcw @link

Yep, membership is £5 for the entire year and you get access to the for sale section (Cars and parts), how to section and technical info sections among other things. Well worth it if you are planning on doing a few things to your car as the how-to guides are really helpful.

Got a response from RPD quoting £150 for a new front sensor. So won't be able to justify spending that without being 100% sure that's the issue really...

Bought my car with some strange behaviour on the washers. Turned out to be a dodgy blade fuse under the steering wheel. May be obvious but have you tried replacing the fuses under the steering wheel?

You'll regret it. Seen people swap to much nicer cars from the clio and come straight back to one in a few years.

Oulton really was fantastic, had some really nice cars there like TTRS and a mega BMW but the clios were holding their own. Has some really nice corners that the clios excel in compared to almost every other car there...

So the car is bitching at me to service it. I'm more than capable of changing the oils etc and have done it before. But would it be worth paying a garage to do it for the sake of getting a stamp in the service book? Planning on keeping the car for another few years so not really expecting to...

Got the video edited and uploaded. So you can see the lights flick up to their max setting and down again a few times. Seemingly random tbh. Thought maybe it had something to do with speeding up/slowing down but you can see them changing while I'm at a constant speed. Tried just fiddling...

Fixed this by reattaching to the car and bashing the shit out of it with a rubber mallet. More details on post #170 here: http://www.clio197.net/threads/barney626s-nimbus-2008-197.57864/page-9#post-693303

Right, been a long while since I updated this thread and a decent amount has happened. So went to the Oulton park track day (First one in this car) and had an absolute blast. Everyone was behaving most of the day (Apart from two 172/182 clios who were pushing it a bit racing each other) and...

Yeh I think that's why the bloke at four ashes didn't get a fault code when he looked because it wasn't in the 'broken mode'. Would have thought it'd have historical logs though... The only reason I'd take it to the renault dealer is cos I want the stamp for the service and if they would...

Right, had a look at the rear sensor this morning: So you can see that the connector doesn't look corroded at all. The arm is free to move (If a little loose in the mountings but doubt that is the issue). So unless something inside the sensor is conked then don't think it's that...

Which version should I been looking for?

Gonna have a look tomorrow morning and will report back. Very very tempted to buy my own CLIP for silly stuff like this that really spoils what would otherwise be one of the best cars out there...

And the saga continues... So had the car into four ashes specifically to try and deal with this, clip showed no fault codes and they were working fine apparently. Headlights have started to flick up on main beam as they should so that's confirmed. Seemed to be cured until tonight where they...

Suppose my idea of how long these things last was wrong then, was kinda going off the warranty michelin offer on the PS3's... I've swapped front and rear wheels so should get at least another 10k out the set before having to look at new ones?
