IMO that's the crossover one with bits from both years, I thought mine was one until I found all the bullet connectors on the butchered headlight wiring
Coolant is under pressure when at running temperature, release that pressure and it will boil, lucky you didn't get a face full of scalding water.Quick update..
Yesterday I received the GAP IID from a friend, which is great. I managed to run a scan, results below.
When I went to car today, it was dead. So connected up a pack, started fine - and to my surprise the radio was back working - here's hoping all electrical fixes are that easy LMAO!!
I had a quick run around the car with handbrake on and car in Reverse... Turns out 3 of the rear PDC sensors are gone (No clicking), where as all the others clicked. I also actually noticed the same corned with the faulty sensors got paint .. I could see the tape lines in the bumper gaps. I wonder is that a coincidence.. loose connections or something? Will need to get bumper off and investigate.
I also had a look at the spare wheel (Factory L322 Supercharged) and it's got a 275 wide tyre. Factory size is 250, and i'm wondering if 275 is ok on that. I am planning on buying the 3 wheels that another user has for sale and moving over the wheels from the existing Sport wheels on the car.. If they are a safe fit, that could be a fairly decent set of events

The car had been sitting a week and has remained like this - I think it's safe to say that the rear air suspension setup has no leaks. Never mind the black tape - I poked a hole in the rust and don't want any water ingress while the car is waiting to be brought in.

I have also made a little errrr... progress on the heating front... Well, I had the car running for a bit while I was at it today, say 20 mins (ish). No hot air at all, but once things got warm, the temperature needle shot up to near max. When having a look around under the bonnet I noticed the coolant was low. Grand needs topping up. I read somewhere that if the coolant is low it can't reach the rad. I don't think mine is that low.
When leaving, I killed the engine before closing the bonnet. When closing, I could hear a kind of hissing... like something leaking under pressure...! Then for some reason I opened the coolant expansion bottle and the coolant started bubbling up. At first, I was like, HEAD GASKET!!
One of the guys reckons the thermostat is stuck closed which means the coolant isn't going through the heater matrix for hot air, or through the rad to cool it? He reckons I could take the inside of the thermostat out, to open it and see how things change.. along with topping up coolant. Thoughts..
How much is a genuine LR thermostat? I see there is an aftermarket one there somewhere for less than £15.

Sooo.. On the topic of error codes. I scanned with IID and got loads and loads of stuff.. I cleared them and scanned again, and what I received is shown below.
Please keep the following known issues in mind:
In reviewing looks like everything is in order really. Along with the above items, looks like just a few bulbs - hopefully it's just bulbs and I don't need whole headlights lol. I wouldn't be bothered about the TMC and TV errors.
- Leak in either the front right airbag or valve block.
- Front passenger door card is removed with the airbag out and disconnected along with all the other electronics.
- Glass is missing from the driver wing mirror.

Having worked on a few Clio 182s, if that's where you learned stuff, I reckon you'll be fine with Rangies. Sporty Renaults are the most infuriating cars I've ever touched. I genuinely think they intentionally made things harder to do on them. They drive great though!Quick update..

You've encountered the seat bolts that, rather than being inside the car like every other car I've owned, are soaked in road dirt and water cos they bolt in from outside underneath the car!Interesting.
To be honest, not done a massive amount on the Clio really. Just stripped it to a shell so far and is yet to go back together.
I learned most of my stuff on my E350 which is difficult to work on I think.
YouTube is there to save me anyway
I need to stock up on documentation from LR though, workshop manuals, guides etc.

YouTube is great for Landies, and people on here are always most helpful
Yea it's super annoying.
I believe it is a crossover, where the exterior is facelifted as per 2006 MY but the interior is still the older.
Talking about wiring.. this particular pic made me think there was something funny going to get the 2010 facelift headlights working. Turns out the headlights are standard.. and i'm left scratching my head as to what this stuff is..
What do you think? Perhaps similar to what you were talking about???

Have you checked the condition of the battery? When they start dying some cars throw all sorts of spurious codes out, which is unhelpful when you know you've got some legitimate codes to check.
Missed this one
I doubt thats LR installed. Have you traced the wire? maybe some after market DRLs or spots?
Trace the wires from that. Looks like someone has been diying something.
The hissing from the filler cap could just be a defective cap, not unusual on vehicles & worth replacing.
If you're worried about it being hgf then check the coolant for the presence of exhaust gases - assuming you have no unexplained coolant loss to begin with.

No cabin heat is usually a failed aux heating pump right hand side of the engine bay if the coolant was that low heater core can air lock very easily.
Obviously welding first, but it looks like the passenger door has been an issue for a while ?
Reason(s) for failure
- Front passenger door cannot be opened from inside the vehicle (6.2.B.1b)
- Front passenger door cannot be opened from outside the vehicle (6.2.B.1b)
