In the Clio I used heel and toe pretty much everywhere! I used my toe on the brake and my heel on the accelerator though, not sure if this is the right method or what? I've now got a Westfield which I cannot do the same as the brake pedal sits a lot further up than the accelerator. If you want...

There's either tight or F tight. Over tightening bolts can cause plastic deformation of the thread forms, but this is always a preferred option over the alternative! I think tightening torques are really important for rotating equipment like the bolt on the crank pulley.

Will give them a call, only need the part as I will fit myself. Thanks for the info.

Thanks dude.

So I'm guessing R Sport in Wimbledon is closed, any recommendations where to get this part from?

Sorry guys, you're right this is the cam sensor as I found out last night, so completely disregard the three pin comment. I've been into Renault today and their parts guy really didn't have a clue, although he did say their may have been an upgrade to the wiring loom for this part?? A new crank...

Yeh gotta be linkage....

Can anyone offer some help? ANOTHER topic on the crank position sensor issue but I'm struggling with getting a replacement wiring plug (snapped the clip off so holding together unsuccessfully with a cable tie) as they all seem to be 2 pin connections. Mines a 58 cup with a 3 pin tdc sensor...

Yeh thanks guys, this is why you should always check the easy stuff when problem solving!!

The finish on the inlet is a product of the manufacturing process (either sand casting or investment casting) which, as you've pointed out has a rough surface finish making a larger surface area for heat transfer to occur. Painting it black will change the emmisivity of the object and therefore...

Just had a nosey and the dip stick wasn't fully inserted when I checked it this weekend. Oops! Thanks for your help anyway guys, unfortunately there's not much you can do for me having a blonde moment!

That was me bud!!!

great shout guys, I'll strip and grab some replacement o-rings tomorrow from work. I'm guessing that is just a recirc valve of some sort?

Evening All, Can anyone help me identify this noise/the part in the video below.... https://youtu.be/wtGNEoKkoDA I get this noise on start up and periodically during low engine RPM, no errors or problems with engine performance. I've stripped the throttle body and given it a clean as I thought...

Might be, although I'd have thought it would change pitch as the engine speed increases? It's at the same pitch whatever the revs are.

Sorry to re-open this, but mine is making this noise. Is there another thread that this relates to?

probably me bud! which way were you going??

Some great information, I always like to understand the reasons for using better consumable products. Thanks Tim.

I remember seeing this one of myth busters, I can't remember the outcome but it was a fair old effort they did for it. Something to chuck in there, the Bernoulli effect which is the theory behind why an airplane generates life isn't a law, it's just a theory that cannot be disproven yet. We...

Thanks for the advice, will get some quotes sorted. Cheers lads.
