By soldering the wires direct to the bulb holder you should have eliminated the possibility of a bad connection. You could try putting a new earth wire from the bulb holder to the body of the car, this would rule out a poor earth return. Believe it or not a lot of rear light problems occur because p...

Good to hear what the problem was and that it's fixed.

Check the EGR valve isn't sticking open, you will have to remove it and give it a clean.

I would be looking around for an independent Renault specialist before going the dealer route?

@ Stevepro

Have you tried alan's suggestion above.



Cheers.

That's a tough one for anyone to comment on without hearing the noise.

Is it possible for you to make a decent video of the engine noise and post it up?

Put the video on youtube and post the link up.

... I was not aware they were more than one size ball joint...not one motor factor i have been on phone to including Renault have mentioned that... I've just looked up the ball joint for my 2008 car and FAI automotive list two ball joint sizes, a 16mm or 18mm pin. It's sometimes very difficult to p...

Recheck your work and make sure all nuts / bolts are tight. I think I'm correct is saying that there are two sizes of ball joint, a 16mm & 18mm, did you check you had the correct one on the new arm? It's possible to fit the smaller size by mistake, this will cause a banging noise and is dangerou...

The working voltage of the glow plug is normally written on it, 11v is written on the one I have here.

Yeah, let us know how you get on.



Cheers.

No point in doing that until you establish which plugs you need (7 or 12 volt) hence taking a voltage reading at the plug cap.

If you fit the 7v plugs and your system is 12v they won't last long.



Cheers.

I read it as he had 12 volt plugs fitted and they should have been the 7 volt plugs because that's what his software needed. I'm guessing the plugs you have are 12 volt (they are normally marked as 11 volts). Despite what I said earlier about the test lamp I would check with a volt meter what voltag...

Good to hear you're sorted.

Any further advice on the subject?

How did the AC button come out and what type of bulb was it?

How did the window switch go, what type of bulb?



Cheers.

Got my fingers crossed for you


Cheers.

Sorry to hear that.

If you Google the fault you will see a lot of problems which are similar, there must be an answer somewhere.



Cheers.

When the car does not start does it turn over slowly? Even though the battery is showing a decent voltage when you check it I think it will probably be dipping down quite a bit when you are trying to start the car. Is the battery the correct one for the car in regards to CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) I t...
