silver172 Posted 3, September 2012 Report Posted 3, September 2012 Hey guys - just picked up no.38 - what a great car! Haven't owned a Renault before but Ive had a few older classics before - Alfa's, mercedes, fiats etc. Its great to see a forum like this with so many members and info - much easier than the Alfa Romeo forums Any other owners in the Sunshine Coast?

Tommo Posted 3, September 2012 Report Posted 3, September 2012 Hey mate, not too many on the Sunshine Coast, but there's plenty in Brisbane. I live in Brisbane during the Uni Semester, then I'm home (Twin Waters) during Uni Holidays and summer. I occasionally see a few 172 Phase 2's and an RS250, but pretty scarce. Quote
SamR Posted 4, September 2012 Report Posted 4, September 2012 Congrats on the purchase and welcome to OZRS Quote
silver172 Posted 4, September 2012 Author Report Posted 4, September 2012 thanks guys! I had the throttle body off today for a clean - does any one know any procedures for an idle reset - its idling a bit high and i figure the idle control valve probably needs to be reset after fidling with everything... any ideas?

domlebo70 Posted 4, September 2012 Report Posted 4, September 2012 Check your map sensor is connected. Located on the opposite side to the throttle body (left side) Quote
silver172 Posted 5, September 2012 Author Report Posted 5, September 2012 yeah thanks dom - no luck with that.. hmm... Quote
