Give the reader a whirl in your galaxy or anything else with an OBDII socket to make sure it actually works rich.
There are various systems in more modern cars that a cheapo reader won't help with but in something the age of your clio, the cheap reader should work just fine.

cheers mate... i saw that one for sale & bought it.. i will go & have a play with the galaxy now. although no engine lights are flashing...yet

Only our Rich could find images of [hastyassumption]nekkid[/hastyassumption] laydeez on a search for a code reader....

I'm all ears if you feel the need to confess!

Er, what's going on here? Naked ladies, code readers, galaxy chocolate bars, what's all that got to do with engine problems?
The problem is, Rich bought a Renault. That's it. Nicole & Papa are not going to come to the rescue. Merde se!

its what happens when i type autolink obdii & can reader into google images

took it out for a spin last night, collect small people & fill with diesel €47... its so nice to drive now i have replaced the wheel bearings, i can even hear the engine!

How many miles can you get on a small person, filled with diesel?

OK, so I tried that image search and found page after page of pictures of code readers. Google in the UK no longer allows the sex fiend user to disable safe search but I'm told that this isn't the case in all locations.
However, my default search engine is DuckDuckGo and it does allow the setting to be lifted. I'm now off to buy some eye bleach..


What's 47 Yoyos in Pounds these days? Sounds like lots and to put that into context, the petrol tank on my daily ride won't take any more than £37.42 to brim it, even when the warning lamp has been on for the previous 40 miles, so either Clios have massive fuel tanks or you've been driving a large commercial vehicle that someone told you was a Clio..

That reminded me of the "joke" about the staff of a mortuary who were moonlighting and using the place to provide a certain "special" service to those on a tight budget, outside of normal opening hours.
The punchline involved some comment about replacing a corpse once it had become full, couldn't possibly put the whole thing up in our jokes thread.

Well, he does have quite a brood to squeeze in there, so with a bit of a stretch, and a bigger fuel tank, you can see why it's so expensive at the pump. Maybe his missus should have had her hearing checked in their early years.
