R182 Posted 1, June 2013 Report Share Posted 1, June 2013 They are few and far between but RS drivers certainly keep an eye out for one and other (especially the older ones)! Which number did you get, what state are you in? Welcome. Sent from ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean Posted 4, June 2013 Author Report Share Posted 4, June 2013 Thanks for the warm welcome guys. The car is #59 and i'm loving it. I'm off to see if i can work out why my driving lights stopped working. I suspect it may have something to do with a.) hitting a small chicken that flew kamikaze style out from the undergrowth, b.) A coastal deluge and c.) the combination of a.) & b.), causing the light to fill with water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean Posted 6, June 2013 Author Report Share Posted 6, June 2013 I'm in Canberra for the weekend and it'd be great to meet up with anyone, especially if they could help me sort out my sticky throttle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosey Posted 7, June 2013 Report Share Posted 7, June 2013 Hi Sean. Are we talking Clio II Phase 1? edit. just found and merged your other thread into here, so that answers my question on which model. Top choice of car What exactly is the issue? I might have a couple of suggestions if you can be more specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean Posted 7, June 2013 Author Report Share Posted 7, June 2013 Hi Moosey, The throttle sticks open when i back of and it seems quite sticky in general; i.e it is quite stiff and inaccurate. I have to blip it, or put my foot under it to get it to idle down. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezer Posted 8, June 2013 Report Share Posted 8, June 2013 I'm in Canberra for the weekend and it'd be great to meet up with anyone, especially if they could help me sort out my sticky throttle Welcome Sean, congrats on the Phase 1 - the Battle of Waterloo is on this Sunday (UK v French car show). It's at Rond Terrace. north side of Lake Burley Griffin, bottom of Anzac Parade - so if you're around come on down, a few of us will be there to say g'day. You never know, there could also be a few more knowledgeable than me to help you with the throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsr Posted 10, June 2013 Report Share Posted 10, June 2013 hi sean my appologies, ive got a ph1 and ive been in canberra all weekend... although probably wouldnt have been much help..working every day this long weekend - even straight after the battle of waterloo english vs british car show mentioned above. ive also got a sticky throttle like yours, and have convinced myself its the cable because it runs accross the engine bay near the exhausts. the throttle body doesnt seem to stick when turned by hand.. ive ordered a new cable so we shall see. mine usually corrects after a quick blip of the throttle. what colour is your car?

sean Posted 11, June 2013 Author Report Share Posted 11, June 2013 Hi, Didn't get a chance to get away from family activities in Canberra and am back at the coast now. The car is a silver-ish colour (tinge of blue perhaps?)... I'm thinking of doing the cable myself and notice there are two mentioned on wolfimports... is that where you got yours? Do you know the difference? ACCELERATOR CABLE PH 1 - 7700427379 / OZ 7700815667 There is also the adjustment on the cable near the throttle body. Any idea which way to move the clip to adjust for a stretched cable. Cheers, Sean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosey Posted 20, June 2013 Report Share Posted 20, June 2013 It's more likely to be the throttle potentiometer (I think that's what it's called). I'll take a photo of what I'm talking about when I can and post it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
