hi,
I had the same problem.
The fuel filter located under the fuel tank can sometimes block.
What you could do is carefully disconnect the fuel line on the injector rail and have someone turn on the ignition to see if you are getting fuel in there if you are then its not the fuel filter or the pump

if its a petrol modus either a 1.4 or the 1.6 16valve engines these are prone for ignition coils to fail,

at 90,000 miles

All 1.5dci engines (Renault, Dacia and Nissan) use Delphi fuel injector systems. These particular Delphi fuel pumps are very sensitive to the quality of diesel you use (oil quality and level in the engine seems to be a factor, too). Once the pump is damaged internally (partial or total seizure) fine metal dust from the pump gets into the system and damages one or more injectors. If you act early (while the engine still runs) you may get away with replacing the pump and the fuel filter. However, once the dust spreads around, you need to replace the entire fuel system, including the fuel tank. To prevent this from happenning (to a fuel pump that is not yet damaged) you need to use quality diesel with low sulphur content (diesel made out of Russian or Venezuelan oil have usually high sulphur content), diesel additives (STP, Castrol, Wynns or similar) and change engine oil and oil filter at least every 15,000km/12months (Nissan uses this shorter service interval and their 1.5 dci cars seem to have much less problems with fuel injection systems).

The cover locks with doors. It may be that there is a bad electrical contact between the feeder wire and the lock. Visit a Renault dealer or an auto electrician.

i would advise you take to a garage to have fault codes read. this could be a number of things. eg mass air flow meter, to catalytic converter. The best way to sort this is by interrogating the engines ECU.

if u email me later i will read this in workshop manual, cant remeber off hand, i will email you back tom. i need year of car pet or diesel.

its ok, the hydraulic lifters, has it had an oil change recently,
the lifters quite down after 5 seconds, is this what you get if so dont worry its normal,

ask a renault dealer if there is a self adjuster on it, i think not, i think it is hydraulic, this means you have a faulty pressure plate, so yes u need a clutch

this has to be a faulty switch or varable speed resistor.
youre saying you have no control over fan. i see this when people bypass it as speed resistor is expensive so they wire it direct.

being a renault, the n/s drive shaft holds the oil in box, it splits, replace then try oil some times they do thousands of miles others not, 5th gear over hears and braeks teeth off, then very noisey. if getting a box there is a tag on top, silver, near the diff, this has to be matched to other gearbox as so many different boxes.

look at the arm, can you move with pry bar, i think your clutch has turned insde out.
does the car when in gear and cranked over pull forwards

selector rods near the diff are worn, or some boxes have the arm on the bottom, there is a plastic bush that takes the play out, its worn up.

yes egr valve, your pump is fine unless metal fillings every where.

petrol or diesel

if it black smokes and chugs then clears and goes its the egr valve its around £60 some pull it some dont u need the casing as well £100

get air flow meter checked, then oxygen sensors. i think this is your oxygen sensor to be honest, the first sensor before cat.

depends on make of caliper, some are 7mm allen key or 13mm spanner
