Trafic 1982 shaking to pieces

Hiya, my name's Matt and I was brought to these forums thanks to RW's thread about his camper :grin2:



Few weeks ago I bought my first (converted) camper - really happy to finally own one, hoping to travel around europe this fall!

It's got a 2.1D, 5 speeds and a portapotty filled up by the last owner. Lovely stuff!


I've spent many nights working it up and it's almost passed MOT - only the speedo left to fix. The needle broke and there are no parts available here in Sweden so my fix is putting a bicycle speedo on it.


I'm glad it's a simple car - everything going on with it I can diagnose and fix but there's something really wonky going on.
It vibrates a bit when it gets moving but then I get up to cruising speed and the whole thing starts shaking really bad. Like, it feels like the front end is gonna start jumping. The gear stick slaps all over the place and the engine does the same.
If I give it more gas it stops, same if I let go. It only happens when I try to hold it steady. If I get it to high enough RPM then it stops, but at that point I'm driving way faster than I'd like to.


It happens mostly in 5th but I think it has something to do with it being under load because it happens in 4th going in some hills as well.
I've checked the motor mounts and they are fine.


I took a ride with a mechanic who thought it could be an inner CV joint and I'm gonna check on the later in the day but I want to know if there's anything else that could be causing it?


Thankful for all your help!

Meg 3 1.9dci engine hazart failure(p242f)

That kind of message was waiting for me in the car this morning. A quick check with elm327 gave that p242f code and nothing else.
Iv inspected the hoses and electric connections. Seem to be ok. Took a 20km run on motorway with high revs. For a preef moment the warning went to "check anti-pollution system" then back to engine hazart failure.
Car runs fine. All the 130 horses are there.

Is there a way to deal with this by driving a longer trips on motorway or do a have to the dealer for diagnostic?

Megane II Indicator Problem

My Megane has developed a problem with the nearside rear indicator which I think could possibly be an earthing problem. With the indicator on & braking, the whole nearside rear cluster flashes faster than the normal indicator. Can anybody help?

What clutch is in a Scenic 2 1.5dci?

I need a new clutch, as it has started slipping in first gear. Only thing is, there is 2 different variants on eurocarparts for my car. I need to know if it has a central slave cylinder or without bearings? As those are under the fitments on their site.

Thanks.

Trafic cruise control dash switch

Anyone know if the cruise on/off switch located on the dash is a standard Renault switch fitted to other models too? (Laguna etc)

I’m about to try to retrofit cruise to my van but need the switch and don’t fancy paying £40+ for a single switch!

My van is a 63 plate trafic sport if that makes any difference.
