Sorry for the late reply! Hardly check the blog these days!

I’m afraid I have no idea where that sensor is located, but I do know that in the 5 and a half years that I have owned my 182 Cup the temperature guage has never gone above halfway, even if sitting in heavy traffic for long periods of time.

As for the belts, the cambelt and auxillary belt should be replaced at 72,000 miles or 5 years, whichever comes around first.

By the time you read this I’m sure you’ve had your car sorted! Happy motoring!

Very good reading about the Clio sport.

wan to ask as I bought a Renault clio sport cup 2005 last october in Brisbane , obiously I am in australia.

the car is just coming up to 50000km and have it booked for the belt change as it was not done by previous owner. Bought it with 30000km.

since the past few winter month my teperature gauge is going up and down when for example stuck in traffic or going up hill. On som,e occasions the gauge only goes up a few nodges and stays there.
Once I bough this car the temp alwasy stayed above the half way mark.
Had the car checked last october at the 30000km service and they advised me that the thermostat housing has a crack so I put this down to this getting false readings. I now belive after reading different comments that it is just the sensor that is faulty?
do you know where it is located?

Have the car booked in for the 1st november but I am worried of breaking down so I keep my drives to wrok only at the moment. Bookings for renault are hard to fit in as it is not a common car in Australia.

If you have any other advise please let me kno.

came across this site by mistake, a good mistake I must admit, My wife and I love to go to new york, actuqlly we have been there 5 times, we found that after visiting the first time you get a yearning to go back, It was great to see your write up and pictures as it reminded me of our last visit, we went to The Tavern on the green the only restaraunt in central park for my birthday there it is awsome, we were there 2 weeks before the world trade centre tragedy, if you send me your e-mail I will send you some pictures of inside ,and some pictures taken from just below the WTC if your interested, It was great to read because you practically followed our footsteps there and it brought back some great memories of our last stay there, we stayed at the warwick hotel which is excellent provided you make sure you book an outside room to have good views of the city from the windows, Grand central station was also a must, and for people and celeb spotting it is a great place. we also had a drink and a meal in the Plaza Hotel, unfortunately it is being converted into apartments now. also south street seaport is worth a visit for good shops and entertainment. the only bad point was the rip off shops ( cameras and electronics) not all of them but you have to be careful. Thank you for your blog I really enjoyed.

The article was good.
As i read this article it reminded me of my first visit to NY.
Really NY is one of the best cities that i have been so far.
Would love to see some more pics.
