Fault code DF623?
I have a 07 Renault Scenic, every now and then the throttle drops out when driven. (You would be driven along and then for a spilt second you lose power and can fill the car pull back, as soon as you left your foot off the throttle and reapply it all works good again until next time)(This will happen at any speed but more often at higher speeds)
I have two fault codes DF228 and DF623
After a long search I have found that DF228 is an issue with the break peddle switches and ABS. But Im having trouble finding information on DF623.
Can someone help please?
thanks:cool:

Best Tyre Brand for Ride Comfort?
I have a Modus 1.5 dCi with Pirellis on the front and the original Continentals on the rear (185-60-R15-H88).
Just wondered if I could soften the ride a bit by changing tyre brand?
I see www.tigertyres.co.uk offers competitive prices for mobile fitting, and even cheaper if you go to a 'centre'. Anyone any experience with these discounters vs. the Kwikfits? Thanks.

Renault mascott 150dxi MAP sensor
Hi there good people. I'm very new to this forum so please be gentle. I have an 08 mascott 150dxi with a problem. After driving for about 10 miles I have a warning light come on the dash with loss of power and can't go above 3000 revs. I have investigated this with a obd reader and fault code P0234 comes up. I believe the fault is the MAP sensor or boost pressure sensor.
The first problem I have is in locating this sensor and secondly where would I buy one from.
Thanks in advance

Starter Motor - Grand Scenic 2007
Hi all, can anyone tell me where exactly the starter motor is on a Grand Scenic 1.9 dci 2007 auto??? I think it maybe jammed as car does not start. Have had the battery checked by halfords who says its ok. Ive got the wiper motor out and scuttle tray but still dont have a clue exactly where it is so I that I can check the wiring and give it a tap. Pics would be really useful if anyone has.
Also guys what else could cause ticking type noise apart from battery and starter on a 2007? Any sensors? Many thanks in advance.

F8T 1.9 diesel engine valve clearances
Hello all
I've got a 1999 Vauxhall Arena van with the1.9 non-turbo diesel Renault engine. F8T is stamped on the block.
I understand that this engine may be found in other vehicles like Kangos and Clios.
I think the valve clearances should be 0.10mm inlet and 025mm exhaust, but I'd really like someone to confirm this for my peace of mind.
Does anyone know a link to a workshop manual for this engine, please? I have looked, but I can't find one with the same top end as mine: I've got the all-in-one tappet buckets (where re-shimming is not an option).
VIN is VF1F 8ALA 5197 78628.
My current problem (tremendous white smoke) may have been caused by a broken keyway on the cam pulley, so I'm fitting a spare and hoping!
Obviously I'll be grateful for any advice.
Thanks!

Toxic Fume Filter Warning Light On
Hi,
As the title says, on my Renault Megane 2004 1.9 dCi, the 'Toxic Fume Filter Warning Light' is permanently on.
The error code I am getting is P0486 which I believe indicates an error with the EGR valve?
The car runs fine, if it wasn't for the warning light I would have no idea anything was wrong.
Just wondered if there is anything I can do myself before opening my wallet to the local garage.
I am reasonably technically minded and don't mind getting my hands dirty.
Cheers
Steve

little johnny
Little Johnnie's neighbour had a baby. Unfortunately, the baby was born
without ears.
When mother and new baby came home from the hospital Johnnie's family was
invited over to see the baby. Before they left their house,
Little Johnnie's dad had a talk with him and explained that the baby had no
ears.
His dad also told him that if he so much as mentioned anything about the
baby's missing ears or even said the word ears he would get the smacking
of his life when they came back home.
Little Johnnie told his dad he understood completely.
When Johnnie looked in the crib he said, "What a beautiful baby."
The mother said, "Why, thank you, Little Johnnie."
Johnnie said, "He has beautiful little feet and beautiful little hands, a
cute little nose and really beautiful eyes. Can he see?"
Yes", the mother replied, "we are so thankful; the Doctor said he will have
20/20 vision."
"That's great", said Little Johnnie, "coz he'd be ****ed if he needed
glasses.

Amazingly simple home remedies
1. If you're choking on an ice cube, simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat. Presto! The blockage will instantly remove itself.
2. Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold the vegetables while you chop.
3. Avoid arguments with the females about lifting the toilet seat - use the sink.
4. For high blood pressure sufferers ~ simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure on your veins. Remember to use a timer.
5. A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives. Then you'll be afraid to cough.
7. You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
8. Remember - everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
9. If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

My wife left me.
My wife left me.
I don't understand. After the last child was born, she told me we had to
cut back on expenses; I had to give up drinking beer. I was not a big
drinker, maybe a 12-pack on weekends. Anyway, I gave it up, but the other
day, when she came home from shopping and I looked at the receipt and saw
£45 in makeup, I said, "Wait a minute. I've given up beer and you haven't
given up anything!"
She said, "I buy that makeup so I can look pretty for you."
I told her, "Hell, that's what the beer was for!"
I don't think she'll be back....

Merry widow?
Anna had lost her husband almost four years ago. Her daughter was constantly calling her and urging her to get back into the world. Finally, Anna said she'd go out, but didn't know anyone. Her daughter immediately replied, "Mum I have someone for you to meet!"
Well, it was an immediate hit. They took to one another and after dating for six weeks, he asked her to join him for a weekend away.
Their first night there, she undressed as he did. There she stood nude, except for a pair of black lacy panties; he was in his birthday suit. Looking her over, he asked, "Why the black panties?" She replied: "My breasts you can fondle, my body is yours to explore, but down there I am still mourning."
He knew he was not getting lucky that night.
The following night was the same - she stood there wearing the black panties, and he was in his birthday suit - but now he was wearing a black condom. She looked at him and asked, "What's with the black condom?" He replied, "I want to offer my deepest condolences!"

First Class Travellers
A man and a woman were sitting beside each other in the first class section of an airplane.
The woman sneezed, took out a tissue, gently wiped her nose, then visibly shuddered for ten to fifteen seconds.
The man went back to his reading.
A few minutes later, the woman sneezed again, took a tissue, wiped her nose, then shuddered violently once more.
Assuming that the woman might have a cold, the man was still curious about the shuddering. A few more minutes passed when the woman sneezed yet again. As before she took a tissue, wiped her nose, her body shaking even more than before.
Unable to restrain his curiosity, the man turned to the woman, "I couldn't help but notice" he said, "that you've sneezed three times, wiped your nose and then shuddered violently. Are you ok?" "I am sorry if I disturbed you," she replied. "I have a very rare medical condition; whenever I sneeze I have an orgasm."
The man, more than a bit embarrassed, was still curious. I have never heard of that condition before" he said. "Are you taking anything for it?" "Absolutely" nodded the woman, "Black Pepper."

The mother thinks for a few seconds and says, "Well dear, Mummy and Daddy

The daughter looks puzzled so the mother continues, "That means the daddy

Patrick's accident
A farmer named Patrick had a car accident.
In court, the lorry company's hot-shot solicitor was
questioning Patrick.
'Didn't you say to the Police at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine?' asked the solicitor.
Patrick responded: 'Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favourite cow, Bessie, into the...'
'I didn't ask for any details', the solicitor interrupted. 'Just Answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine!'?'
Patrick said, 'Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road....'
The solicitor interrupted again and said, 'Your Honour, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the police on the scene that he was fine. Now several weeks after the accident, he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud.
Please tell him to simply answer the question.'
By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Patrick's answer and said to the solicitor: 'I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favourite cow, Bessie'.
Patrick thanked the Judge and proceeded. 'Well as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favourite cow, into the trailer and was driving her down the road when this huge lorry and trailer came through a stop sign and hit my trailer right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurt, very bad like, and didn't want to move.
However, I could hear old Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident, a policeman on a motorbike turned up. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her, and saw her condition, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes.
Then the policeman came across the road, gun still in hand, looked at me, and said, 'How are you feeling?'
'Now what the F*ck would you say?'
