I had a 2004 1.4L Renault Clio destined for the scrap heap. Got a new job and a company car. Decided instead of scrapping it I would kill it at the Nurburgring. Drove all the way there with a mate in a separate vehicle so I would have a lift back. Never needed it. Lasted every single lap and the Autobahn. Great fun. Would love to do it again

[@robsmithracing]

I did the same thing in a diesel Clio 😂 still running 5 years on.

[@mavkeb6864]

The limp mode is likely to be the pilot plug on the gearbox leaking onto the electrical pins. Had it on my c class coupe. Turning off and restarting used to stop it for a bit but gradually gets worse. Just unclip the electrical connector (just a yellow ring that you turn) quick squirt of electrical cleaner on the pins inside, let it dry and put it back on. Probably will happen again in time unless you replace the seal but depending on how bad the leak is could last months. Hope it helps.

My tought is that he simply didnt turn off the traction control, on the slk when u try to spin the wheel with it on, it just takes away the powwer for a few seconds and it feels like limp mode

[@omostim2385]

Could be a coil. I used to have an E320 that would go into limp mode if I floored it. Drove it for about a year like that until I finally replaced all the coils. But you could be right. My sis has a c230 that does the same thing but she drives easy so it doesn’t usually happen

[@TessTickles00]

Hope springs eternal mate, and your enthusiasm is infectious, inspirational, and you are the epitome of never say die. I am always wishing for a positive result for you mate, but that car was a knacker before it left the factory. I can't believe a car of that value was ever built with the 101 botch up assembly faults it had before it was thrashed to death before you got caned for 100k. As I say, your smiley face and positivity is infectious, but that car is a 100%, pure bred knacker!

I kid you not. Back in the early nineties I bought a Fiat 131 off a teacher for £50, and that had a light switch under the bonnet to supply 12 bolts to the HT coil. It’s Italian, so makes sense. And being a carburettor and mechanical pump engine, when you pulled up to park, you had to lift the bonnet and flick the switch off to stop the engine. I was pi**ing myself when I saw Taylor unscrewing that light switch.🤣😂🤣. But bolting it to the outside of the bonnet finished me off!🤣😂🤣😂. Such great entertainment as always. Keep it up.
