FakeConcern Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 There is a fuse that has both the starter motor and the air con panel on it, at least on Phase 2 with climate. I can't remember which one atm, but one in the fuse box on nearside end of dash. Edit; also reversing lights on same fuse 320touring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FakeConcern Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Fuse F3 on main fuse box (however this is phase 2 Clio so could be different) worth a check. It says 15A in handbook, but was actually 20A in the car. 320touring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
320touring Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 I now have tea. Rear calipers binding, car is parked on mud.In for the night. Symptoms as follows:Car gives full dash lights, and relay clocks but starter doesn't engage. Blower and heated rear screen not working. Have checked all Fuses, tried lead engine to chassis, no dice. It will cough if bumped (can't get up enough speed in 3 car lengths). Suspect an issue at starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfella2 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I hope you don't need to change the starter cos it's a bit of an arse to get to. Mine didn't have the heat shield that goes between the starter and exhaust manifold as they are very close together, wonder if yours has lost it sometime in it's life, that would shorten the life of the starter considerably.

Split_Pin Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Sometimes its worth just flinging it into a garage because life has to go on. I did this with the Megane when the brakes were binding. It was December, I was busy at work, family, and the garage had the Corsa in it, unable to move. Well worth it, hassle free. Glad its sorted again!

320touring Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Got a bit of a swatch at this whilst up working on the Toledo.. It's crapped the rear exhaust mount.. Of which I have a couple spare But there were two pieces of good news! Firstly, The centre section flange (snigger) for joining to the back box is in good condition. This should make it less challenging to sort the exhaust. Secondly, the correct fusebox cover was found in the spare wheel well?!

320touring Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Additionally, I discovered that the intake pipe onto the throttle body wasn't fitted properly - so was drawing in unmetered air and causing the wobbly idle and annoying 'snagging' of revs the car has had. This likely happened when we swapped all the ignition parts over - a swift loosen of a jubilee clip, some shoogling and a retighten dun the job.
