Yeah,lots.
and if I had lots of money and no sense I could keep buying parts and fitting them,bound to get to the right one eventually,right?
or i could plug in my code reader and find out whats happening when the light comes on.
Tell you what,if you have a laptop?
go to a website called"GENDAN",they sell a program that will at least read this vehicle ecu.

sorry buy forgot tomention in last post van had been on AA dio laptop when brokedown and i was told to wiggle the wires as french wireing is crap now with RAC
anyway put van on a dio at renault as they did it for free and came up with MAS (new)Glow plugs (shit) and ERG (checked) and then the nice man at renault said that on preveous vans with this problem they found the turbo boost solinoid to be faulty so
THE VAN IS FIXED and it only cost me another £33 and thank you to all the renault mechanic and those who posted on this site and another about the turbo boost solinoid five min fix runs great
