The Clio is turning into a project..

Remember I bought a Clio to (temporarily) replace the dead Mégane?

Well, it’s turning into a bit of a project.. although it hasn’t actually let me down (yet), it’s not running properly. It’s developed some kind of misfire, resulting in some embarrassing moment at junctions and roundabouts..

I’ve had to reset the error codes to switch off the engine earning light twice now. That obd2 reader is earning it’s keep here.. The error is “fuel trim bank 1″. Which has to be the lambda sensor, as it’s the only ‘trim” sensor on the car.

It’s booked in at the jalopy shop to get fixed, at the car dealer’s expense. Fingers crossed on that one.

Apart from that, it needs the sunroof looking at, as the handle is broken and the roof is taped shut as a result. I have a replacement from eBay, cost £25. Just need to fit it.

The driver’s door (electric) window has developed a fault, it will go down but not up. Mostly. If I put the window fully down, it then comes back up. Strange.

Apart from that, I spent a tenner on some wheeltrims from Facebook. Very nice. Oh, and £3 for a Renault keyring from eBay.
