Will do Chris, but first I'm going to observe the tank a bit more as I may have been mistaken about no coolant coming out of the pipe. It is hard to imagine that the pipe would be blocked as car is on ...

Chris it's the 1.6 engine in the Laguna and the Energy in the 19. Not sure how many pipes there are going to the Laguna's tank. There is one pipe near the top of the tank. I have never seen any coolan ...

I used to visit Brian's forum around 2001-2003. I knew of the existence of Paul's forum but rarely looked at it and never posted. Steve Groom also had a website and forum which was aimed more towards ...

Thanks for the help lads. It is a 1.6 petrol so a coil problem is the prime suspect at the moment.

Chet, the vibration is pretty bad. It's a low frequency vibration, the car shakes like an old tractor and the engine is moving more than it should at idle. Apart from the shaking the engine seems to b ...

White fogs instead of yellow?? Or was that a buyers choice?

Phase 2 cars from 1992 and early 1993 had yellow fogs. After that, Renault switched to white fogs. So the change to white fogs happened ...

I also used a thermometer in the expansion tank to check the temperature. OK the coolant in the tank may not be exactly the same temp as the coolant in the block but it's probably close enough. Anyhow ...

I also have a faulty gauge, the gauge shows the car to be a lot hotter than it is. My "fan" line is the 3rd line from the top of the gauge i.e one of the closely spaced lines near 12 o clock. In norma ...
