hi all its Stuart wife, just letting you know that Stuart hasn't been on for a while as he has been very ill in hospital for over a week with a very rare condition called Miller fisher syndrome, it's where his immune system attacks his body all his nervous system and brain and muscles.

He's lost half of his speech and eyesight and can't hardly walk, should be still in hospital but couldn't cope in there, so they let him home to recover which he now needs 24/7 care in case it affects his breathing.

Recovery could take months but said he should make a full recovery.
Thanks Glynis x

Car, pinked then died and wont start.

2004 Clio 1.5 dci 80bhp

Hi all, hoping I can find someone who's had the exact problem I have, have found similar but not quite the same.

So driving on M25 I noticed car slightly 'pinked' when accelerating around 60+ mph. So I slowed to around 60 and sat in the inside lane to see if I was imagining it. Its was fine cruising at 60 just light on accelarator but soon as I put my foot down the odd 'pink' seemed happen again (I didn't boot it hard). I decided to come off the motorway and slowed down at the traffic lights. Soon as the car came to a stop the revs just dropped off and it died and has not restarted since.

AA towed it home as they couldn't get it going. AA read 2 codes, 1 exceeding fuel pressure then 1 with low pressure.

On live data as engine turns over, you can see RPM goes to around 280 so I guess the TDC sensor is ok. We tried using hand primer under filter but that makes no difference.

Tried starting by squirting easystart in air filter and it attempts to fire. AA cracked one of the injector seals open and diesel came out.

This is my mother in laws car so I am not used to it, but, when you turn the ignition on on my other diesels I usually hear a buzz as if system is priming, on the clio I don't get that, is this normal?

I have checked all the fuses I can find and I pull out relays to check for bad green connections others have mentioned in the forum, all looks fine to me.

Am after some cheap things I can try before it gets sold as scrap which I really don't wont to do. Shes just bought a megane dci and this was suppose to be going up for sale... typical!

Incidently the sunroof is leaking on drivers side, Is anything located that side which could get water damaged?

I have cleared the codes and nothing came back.. except if I keep it cranking for about 5 seconds, the red engine management light with stop in the middle starts flashing and then the P0089 code appears in my code reader saying low fuel pressure.

Is there a fuel pressure relay? If so which is it amoungst the other relays under the bonnet

Thanks in advance

Im currently fitting a Digitax Mater to my Laguna, however part of the fitting requires that a wire is connected to the speed pulse wire at the back of the radio.

There is not much reference on the net regarding the iso diagram for the Laguna III audio.

Any help would be greatly apreciated as to which wire it is.

Thanks.

Renault Clio III Ecu location/removal

Hello all! This is my first post here so please be gentle :p

My dad in his infinite wisdom has bought himself a mk 3 2012 1.2 clio which has previously had a prang. It is a non starter now, when you turn the ignition, dashboards lights come on but that's it - no other sign of life!

After doing some research I'm thinking that the ecu needs to be reset or have any previous data cleared...which seems fine if I could find the damn thing in the first place! Have trawled t'interweb but to no avail!

Can anyone help with where the ecu is on a clio 3 and how to remove it?

Thanks in advance!!

The rake

I was working in the garden this weekend and my wife was about to take a shower. I realized that I couldn't find the rake.. I yelled up to my wife,
“Where is the rake?"

She couldn't hear me and she shouted back, "What?"
I pointed to my eye, and then I pointed to my knee and made a raking motion

Then my wife wasn't sure and said "What?"
I repeated the gestures.

"Eye - Kneed - The Rake"

My wife replied that she understands and signals back. She first points to her eye, next she points to her left breast, then she points to her backside, and finally to her crotch. Well, there is no way in hell I could even come close to that one.

Exasperated, I went upstairs and asked her, "What the hell was that?

She replies,"




"Eye - Left *** - Behind - The Bush" !!!

1.4 poor MPG and over revving

February 23, 2015, 7:25 am

Hello All,

I’ve had my 1.4 scenic Fuji (03) around 2 months now and generally happy with the car. I have noticed since having it the fuel consumption is very high and the idle speed seems to be erratic.

Also when I am approaching a junction etc and press the clutch to slow\stop the revs go right down below 500 RPM almost stalling (has a few times) then back up to idle speed.

Also when on a motor way going uphill or under load the power seems to pulse on and off every second

The car had a full service before buying and I have just changed the MAP sensor with no change.

Lastly when in 5th gear and cruising the revs seems to be too high ie at 70mph the rev speed is around 3500 RPM does this seem normal?

I’m thinking to change the full set of coils as a next step, but thought would ask for some advice from the forum experts.

Hoping someone as some experience or good advise as I seems to be never away from the filling station ***61516;

Many Thanks
