    Scuttle Blocked - Water damage to ESP and ABS maybe?

    There has never been any damp or wet carpets in the car. I think the water may have spilled over the scuttle and ran down into the main fuse board. Although I need to investigate a bit more. MOT due in a couple of weeks so running out of time

    Scuttle Blocked - Water damage to ESP and ABS maybe?

    Sorry if i wasn't clear. The initial symptom was the light coming on after i went above 30mph. However, for the last few weeks it has been permanently on. I took it to my local garage today and they plugged it into their fault reader. It was saying rear ABS sensor. The garage changed the ABS...

    Scuttle Blocked - Water damage to ESP and ABS maybe?

    Hi, I recently had a blocked drain in the scuttle of my Clio 197 R27. The water was about 3 inches deep and was covering the wiper motor. This caused the hazard lights to randomly start turning on in the middle of the night and cause my battery to run flat. Another issue was that the windscreen...

    Do you have a link to one online that would be compatible? Or do they work for all Renault models? Thanks

    My Clio R27 will not start

    Just wanted to add I just tried to turn it over again to see if the rev counter moved at all and it does NOT. Not sure if this will help diagnose the problem. Thanks

    My Clio R27 will not start

    My new TDC sensor i ordered arrives in the post in the next few days. I will update my progress in the next couple of days once I have replaced that. I took the back seats out today and pulled the cover off the fuel pump to see if I could hear it better. When I was turning the car over you could...

    My Clio R27 will not start

    The car has Keycard System. The immobiliser light flashes slow and when I try and start engine it was going solid red. I have been looking at those Clips online but am unsure which is the correct one to get? Could you send a link to one that would work for me please? Thanks :-)

    Confused with Fuses

    Yes I located it, took it out and cleaned it up, but made no difference. I have ordered a brand new one that arrives in a couple of days. So will replace completely and try again. If it isn't that, then I presume it could be fuel pump or fuel pump relay?

    My Clio R27 will not start

    I have the battery on charge now. I will try again in the morning and let you all know. I am going to check fuel pump whirring noise again to see if it primes. Otherwise I think I will get a new fuel pump fitted. I have also ordered a replacement TDC sensor as cleaning up the old one had no effect.

    My Clio R27 will not start

    Thanks for your help so far guys. I also forgot to mention that the daay before the car would not start I was accelerating up a hill and the car sort of misfired and power went very lumpy for a short time. I cruised the car for a mile or so and the problem seemed to go away. maybe unrelated...

    manifold flexi broke - advice please

    i have just bought my first Renault Clio R27 F1 It has 75k on the clock and i paid 3.5k for it, which I thought was quite a good deal. However, on day one I encountered a serious problem, where after probably giving it too much beans the car exhaust at high revs sounded all metallic like there...
