My valver has developed a very annoying rattle on start up! On closer inspection i think it may be the exhaust rattling on top of the rear axle. Looks like the one of the rubber bits that hold exhaust up has corroded. How can i fix? Couple of cable ties??

Also previous owner has mis placed the immobiliser key. How easy is it to get another one from renault? what would be the cost?

The previous owner didn't misplace the key, he was never given one Wink The rattle, have you checked out that heat shield i showed you? Im pretty sure that was rattling.

I gave you an immob key Huw!

I gave you:

Original Renault Key
Renault Key I had cut
Seperate key for boot lock
Renault alarm key
Immob Key
Renault Sports Club Keyring (which I didn't get back!!!)

I'm not sure Liam has all of the above, but they were all on one ring Wink

Rattling on the rear axel? I'm right again Wink

well made a trip to the renault garage today to see if i could get a new key but they said they need the key number. which without the key is pretty much impossible to find out unless it was on the original registration documents!
Is there any other was that anyone knows about?

Maybe look for someone breaking a R19 16v and ask for the immobliser unit and key? Look out on eBay and ask seller, or findit.co.uk for people breaking them Smile
