electrical

........have had a very frustrating few weeks after the T was finally paid for outright. I think it's just been a month of 'doom' but hopefully the rectification and replacement of various components will see the T right as rain! It started off with a very continuous issue with my Janspeed...

hello i'm having difficulties with the rear door panel removal. i tried to remove it because of a malfunction of the automatic opening (vacuum or electrical) i unscrew all the screws but something is fixing it, maybe it is glued or it has some additional plastic clips since i dont want to...

**Offers around £250 for everything, but please contact me - see details. I'm having another clear out and will sell this little lot for a sensible offer. Fairly expensive kit new that sounds superb installed. Here's the previous advert... I have this car hi-fi equipment sitting boxed in...

Went out for a blat today and noticed my little display that tells you the temp/time/radio info wasn't working (blank screen) then noticed the radio remote on the steering column was dead too. Radio/CD working fine, everything else on the car working fine. Fuses checked all OK; took off the...

Please note this is a cut and paste from an old advert I placed here. I've never fitted this into anything although it came close to going in a DC5 Integra I was thinking about keeping. But I probably sold it before I got as far as Huet Car Audio. Advert went along these lines. I have this...

I noticed a random electrical connector loose near the driver's side seat belt pretensioner, does anyone know what it is or where it should be connected if at all, doesn't seem to be one on the passenger side.

I have a 97 mk1 clio with a shagged 1.2 diet engine. Iv just bought a replacement 1.2 energy engine from an earlier model. Im lead to believe that the energy engines are stronger built, more reliable and have slightly more bhp. The new engine came with ecu, loom, gearbox, driveshafts and all...

So i go out to start the T this morning to take the little one to nursery, the dash lights come on but flicker slightly and instead of turning over just makes a sort of ecectrical clicking sound, tried it a couple of times with no luck. Now, the car hasent been used much recently so i thought...

I need a little help from someone in the know ,my Trophy's devolped a faut code on the little dash display. looks like a p (ish) Something like 'P---. What is this, a nomal mechanics obd reader doesn't pick up any fault, but the renault display says otherwise?? Can anybody help me? :?

The standard air box seems to have two inlets for air. One with a cold air feed pipe that disappears somewhere underneath the nearside headlamp and another inlet without any cold air feed. Is this right ? Still having trouble with my T :(

Hi, What does the warning light on my trophy mean... It is the one that looks like a heart monitor... it always as far as i can see is combined with the diesel heater light but I obviously don't have one of those... saying that there is water in the fuel.... is it ok to drive or should get it...

Ok today I bought 10£ of petrol, then on the way home all my warning lights flashed on this resulted on my petrol light staying on and no petrol being read by my trip computer !! This has happened a few times now, sometimes my engine actually cuts out when the warning lights come on ?? This is...

I spent a useful afternoon in the garage today changing over the Recaro seats in my Trophy. Its done a few miles now and although the drivers seat is still very good, I thought I would even up the wear by swapping the seats over. hopefully this will extend their life somewhat as the drivers...

The JMS RS2 Intake Manifold The RS2 Manifold as it has been named, is a ground breaking product for the ph2 range of RenaultSport Clios. Traditional NA tuning methods surrounding the 2.0 Litre Renault engine involve extensive & costly changes to either the engines internals, or via ITB...

hi folks something strange happened whilest driving the trophy tonight, basicly was just driving normally along around 40mph when the oil light on the dash flashed up with the words STOP NOW, anyways i stopped and thought no way has the oil ran out as i had checked it a week or so ago, i checked...

Exhaust manifold heat reduction options - Exhaust insulant wrap - ceramic paint coating has anyone got one of these options? or both!? The idea is that the heat from the exhaust manifold increases performance though various pathways which i wont explain now decreases. by insuring the...

And is it normal for this to leak oil inside it? Any ideas on cost for that? Also, I noted a wee plug on the aalternator that has a wired running out of it but also appears to have a stub of a green wire, almost like its been cut off Can anyone else confirm if theirs is like this and if...

After owning several 106 gti’s and Saxo vts’s over the years, followed by an impreza, clio 182 cup and a FF 182, I am now stuck with what to buy. I will be honest here I have always wanted a trophy ever since my first RB back in 2007, problem being they were still serious priced at over 10k...

Ok my T is a 55 plate 35k miles. I do approx 8k per year. I use it everyday for work 13 miles each way. Last week I used it everyday, twice on Sat. Day off Sunday. Came to start it at 5am Monday morning and it woldn't start, ticking over but not starting. My bro put it on the charger while I was...

Hi people, Just wondered if anyone else has had the same problem with their trophies, sometimes from cold, the service light and air bag light come on, once i put my foot down they go away, and then a few minutes later they come on again. This happens on-off till the car is...

who drives with it on and who drives with it off and why?

Hi just wondering has anybody had problems with the power steering fluid weeping out.. i think its a preasure sensor were its leeking tried nipping it up but still no joy....Any ideas local garage told me its a renault dealer only part so i phoned renault for new sensor with T piece the...

Just took the acoustic valve off. Quick question, should these two leads be left loose as there are? Thanks.

I thought i'd give this a whirl on here rather than Cliosport, seeing as i know i'll be bombardered by answers like "Its your Tdc sensor" Now i'm not saying it isn't that, but i'm looking for someone to answer who has been through the exact same problem :wink: Turn on ign, everything lights...

do i??

Just ordered a Clip tool for the renaults, should enable me to disable the airbags completely without messing about with resistors :) It's the proper job and not one of those £30 jobs everyone's selling, according to the seller it's the full monty and works the same as the genuine renault set...

As above. I have had the sensor replaced and it is back to intermittently dropping - especially on the motorway. I am thinking it's an electrical fault (wiring or connection perhaps). But then again my electrical and mechanical knowledge are limited, very limited.

Kinetic Energy Recovery System. Anyone think this will be developed into road cars down the line..? It seems cutting edge F1 technology is eventually being put into road cars after a number of years when its no longer new. Could KERS be used in a road car to give a power boost ? Just a thought.

1) I have calculated that, when taking the car for an MOT, the probability the brakes fail is 1/10, the headlights fail is 1/4 and the wipers fail is 1/5. But what's the probability only one of the parts fails? 2) Point P lies on the curve y = x2 - 6x - 16 where m = 0. What are the...
