Think that may be something only a dealer can tell you ...dont know what the sales figures are on them but if selling well you may struggle for a discount ...I use the term "what will you do for my custom stop me trying garage in next town"

Faulty Immobiliser 1998 Clio 1.2l

---

Hello,

I'm looking for some immobiliser advice on my 1998 5dr 1.2 Renault Clio. The main issue we have at the moment is with starting the car. 6/10 times the car will start absolutely fine when you put the key in, however (and increasingly more) the car revs but doesn't start. It does this a number of times, with both keys, eventually it does catch and start, but sometimes it can be after 30 minutes waiting and trying. It recently happened and the battery drained. We pushed the car to a garage, and the mechanic told us there was an immobiliser fault and we would need to take the car to an auto-electrician to fix. We recharged the battery and then the car started to work again... I was just wondering if anyone has any solutions to this problem, or an estimate on how much this would take to fix? We only paid £350 for the car, and are a little reluctant to splash out on fixing the issue if it's worth more than the car itself. We really just need the car to last another six months before getting a new one, so even a short-term fix solution would be appreciated. It's getting to the point of having to get in the car 20 minutes earlier than we would usually have to set out just in case the car takes a while to start.

Thanks!

That wire is the alternator charge warning light,
Could you remember what colour it was, some of these alternators the exciter/charge warning wire, has to be fitted on the top of the two SMALL terminals , but have had to change the female end (wire side) before now and put it on the lower connector to get them work ( only , as you say its a nightmare to take back off and change) the wire goes to the engine fusebox,
Before you take alternator off ,, try the wire on the other terminal,,, p.s. It will not damage your alternator.

Two wheel nut sizes, normally used, one uses a 17mm socket, but the early ones also used a 19mm socket,, could be a simple reason, one some one lost a wheel nut, ( laughing thinking about a joke ) two, it had locking wheel nuts on, the key to the locking wheel nut got lost, and the nuts had to be taken off,
