"Ooooooh Nicole!" one of my customers is big cheese in marketing and has one of Estelle Skornik's frocks from that campaign

Having similar issues and just checked - exactly that same issue - cables worn by that black metal box thing! Thanks for the steer but I’m not sure I have sufficient knowledge to start the repair job you described.

[@normanstephens5391]

Nice fix. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍

[@andyb3720]

I scanned mine when that came up. Turned out to be the throttle flap being unsynced to the accelerator sensor. Occurs if the engine is turned off while still at revs. My scan unit has actuation, just made it do the throttle and fixed.

Main pain is getting the inlet manifold off while having to remove the air con pump to get to one of the bolts that hold it on.

[@thearcticmantam6854]

what is that sound when you start it at 16:58? it's the same sound that happens to me when i start it.

[@churchhouseclassics]

starter motor disengaging I guess? done it since we bought the car

[@thearcticmantam6854]

@@churchhouseclassics yep same here done it since i bought it haha well thank you good to know

[@JK-es9wu]

I got the same coil symbol error on dash but p0638 code on obd ,,, any suggestions ?

[@churchhouseclassics]

none really, check throttle body and connections to it. Forums are a good source of info

Renault cars are a pain in the arse.had a 1.4 petrol Modus and it used to eat pencil coils.

[@churchhouseclassics]

cheap pattern parts and / or haunted electrics are normally to blame. Here in the UK we called them Friday cars, they were always the last on the line at the end of friday production in the factory when nobody gave a single shat

[@jagvette1]

I have a spare box of matches I can send you to fix that frog car once and for all.

[@churchhouseclassics]

Ah but then you would be missing all the fun, as traditional as British cars are the French machines are just a little bit curveball. Citroen SM is an itch I may need to scratch.. yes I know, financial suicide etc

[@jagvette1]

@@churchhouseclassics yes I grant you there are a few nice French cars but not many I have a particular passion for the Citroen avant from the 1950s to something about that car appeals to me and of course a couple of other quirky citrons and maybe one Renault Ignore spelling mistakes Apple doesn’t know how to spell names correctly and I can’t be bothered to correct them

[@dav01kar]

Well done love the way you throw a few fucks in I'm the same lol

[@churchhouseclassics]

genuine surprise in this case

[@garypoulton7311]

Liquid electrical tape would have saved some oh la la here. Your sons should be driving Land Rovers!

[@churchhouseclassics]

I agree, I had none to hand and fancied a laugh. My lads all drove a landie as their first car, the force is strong amongst them 😊 HNY

[@teecchnoboy]

one day the same light came on for a few seconds like on yours then its off but right after the engine check light came on (orange) i dont feel any difference and change in driving the car could it be spark plug? oil level is quiet low

[@churchhouseclassics]

check the engine fault codes would be my next step if I were you. This fault started out intermittent and steadily got worse over time. Now it is fixed the car drives better than it ever has done

[@Robjud-u2x]

What happend to the polo? Or is this one of your other lads?

[@churchhouseclassics]

The Clio is my youngest lads car, his twin brother still loves his Polo. My oldest lad owns a 2004 Citroen. My wife drives a 2010 Hyundai and as such owns the newest car in our fleet

"F@cking thing !" :-) 🙂

If you had ghost train done you could lend him that And you could use l95 Lol

[@churchhouseclassics]

Just need to get 2 out of those 3 on the road first 😲🤣
