Does anyone know where I can buy it with the pins or what to ask for at Renault as they're usually funny if I'm either not precise or have the chassis number :(

Any help appreciated

what does it look like? any chance that it's a 3 pin version of an injector connector?

It looks more like the map sensor connector but that's slighly bigger

I spotted some connectors called "Superseal" in a catalogue a few weeks back that I thought looked like the renault ones. No idea if they are actually the same, I suspect they might be renault only. Most OE connectors are :(

I bought some of these from Vehicle Wiring Products, they were quite big :laugh:

Even the 3 pin andy ? They said 1.5mm pins, but thats no real gauge on their total size I suppose! As I say, only saw them in a catalogue :(

that looks a little bit wider.. I think it's a trip to the scrapyard or renault and hope for the best.. thanks for your help though

I've got few of that sort on old GTA looms .I have a few of varying colours .There are different patterns of slot on the plastic surrounding the pins so they will only fit their mating sockets .I'm near Notts , if you get stuck you can always pop in and rob the bin .
