Gonna have it looked at tomorrow, i'm stopping traffic when it starts belting out smoke :( I'm wondering if the actual EGR is kaput :S

cleaned the EGR only with some de-greaser. I've had issues with it before kicking out smoke but never loosing power like this before or misfiring, only seems to do it now and again though

was black/blue smoke.

Got serious issues with my car :( Keeps misfiring now and again and has been getting stuck at 2000 revs then after that going fine. Was coming up a hill today and it did it and started pouring out smoke :S Am thinking the EGR is kaput, cleaned it the other week and was fine until yesterday and...

Sorted it, drained the coolant, was proper minging and did an oil change, then reno had the cheek to say i had the wrong colour coolant when I took it in to have the bonnet catch replaced yesterday!!! It runs a hell of a lot better now anyways! :)

Had a good look at it and invested in the Haynes Manual for the Clio lmao Gonna replace the seals on the oil cooler and drain the coolant, seeing as it's never been done and i'm on 108k Nothing is leaking underneath the car, oil levels are fine (doing an oil change too) and the temp gauges are...

Gettin rid of my 1.5dci, been to see a Pug206hdi today, but laughed when they only offered 1900 part ex for mine!!! Holdcrofts in Hanley got a 1.2 16v Extreme, bit optimistic on whether to go back to Petrol tho, as i do 33 miles a day to work. Plus side is though they don't mind swapping my 182...

Swiped into the staff car park same time as me around 11 this morning, anyone?

I've only just started drivin her hard, i'll see how it goes while i'm doin that. I did the EGR valve about a month ago, altho by the aluminium pipe u mean the connecting one to the EGR valve? Didn't bother with that, could be worth looking into though ;)
