Yep, ignore Neal.

If you run the engine hot, does the radiator get hot too? If it doesn't your thermostat is not working.

If you've got a leak in the head, you'll have to replace the head gasket ...

whats CTS stand for and where can i find it

Coolant temperature sensor. It's somwhere on the head I'd say.

Hi Chris.
What a rip off from Ren. I'll try to find a better deal from somewhere else.

I guess I just have to track down that wiring/connector/earth problem then to get HRW available.

Thanks Ch ...

Hi Chris and thanks.

Your right the idle solenoid shouldn't affect ou pulling away from lights unless your using very little throttle then it will.
Like I would do that. Embarassed

Yes, the idle do ...

Chris, you puzzle me.

I thought that there were models with and without the road speed sensor (ref. Haynes). And no, there wasn't any connectors left for a wiring plug if you mean the backside of t ...

Hi Chris.

Why would the widow heater f*ck up the idle stepper motor? I'd like to know before I jump into disassemblying it.

With the engine swap I tested all the sensors with an ohmmeter (temp s ...

Hi.
My Ren has used too much fuel (petrol?, gas?) since the engine swap. The swap was E7J to E7J. The consumption is about 35mpg (8l/100km). Doesn't really matter how or where I drive. With the old e ...

Indeed Chris, the CAS is a good trick.
I once tried my SPI energy without MAP (hose off and plug off). It died in idle and gave practically no power if I pressed the pedal. I wouldn't have driven it ...

Hi Chris,
I had to store my R19 for a quite a long time unwatched and made sure no-one would drive away with it. I took the MAP with me. A rather small and quite easy part to take with you and the ca ...

I once went to work and left my laptop in my car and the keys in there too. "Fortunately" my passanger side's door lock is damaged (someone has probably tried to steel the car in the past) and I put t ...

I just cannot get around why Renault uses union nuts with some other pitch of thread than 1.0? I had to go to Renault distributor to get one. And the first place (where they have a massive garage) the ...

Replaced both the cylinders and the shoes. Nope - still didn't work properly. The reason for the crappy braking power was that the right side brake cable was a bit too sticky and the handbrake lever i ...

I couldn't get the brake pipe to brake hose nut off so I eventually cut the pipe, slipped a new union nut onto it and made a new flare. That sucked big time because the damn brake fluid kept dribbing. ...

Strange because over here you can't get any brake lines at any dealer unless you supply the old pipe for them to make up and then they usually farm it out to someone else.

Dunno the exact size of t ...

Um, yes they do, at least for ford, opel (vauxhall), saab, vw and volvo but unfortunately not to renault. Shocked

The place (Biltema) doesn't have their catalog in the web anymore. There was a sam ...

Hi.

Does anyone know if Renault sells left rear brake pipes with the union nuts on them for R19? The old union nut just doesn't come off from the brake cylinder which I have to replace because it l ...

Failed mot again due to hand brake. First time they were unbalanced. Got it sorted out by adjusting the screws (whole rear up - yank - test - adjust - yank - etc until balanced). I noticed that the br ...

Thank you all.

I'll try to hunt a good box with a bit longer ratios for fuel economy. Motorway speeds with 4300rpm/s aren't very economical. Sad

I'm quite sure now that it isn't any (ball) bearin ...

Thanks. A "new" box shall it be then. I'm really "anxious" to get into the job since it won't be a 2 hour job anyway. Sad

Hi.

Since My JB1 keeps a hell of a noise which is correlated to roadspeed I suspect one or both of the differential's bearings are busted.
How hard is it to replace them if I have the box on the t ...

I'm still lost but it doesn't matter. Thanks anyway. At least I know now that I should be able to toss a JB3 in without problems unless my wallet is conserned.
