can get a half decent car for £700 just not a renault . i know it will have rust on it but tbh i only need it to last a year till i save and buy a much newer car :)

hi after a clio diesel but only have £700 will this get me one without major problems ? cheers :)

so with new mounts and a thermostat it should be better ? another thing is the car running quite lumpy and idles really low just above 500rpm i rev it the car nearly cuts out also if i turn the steering to full lock the car either nearly cuts out or does and also the stop light and battery...

no mines is defo this engine which is a 8v...

ok will replace the spark plugs and see what happens then the coilpack and leads :) also could the spark plugs leads and coilpack cause low idle speed and and nearly cutting out after letting the gas pedal off ? if its not these what else could it be ?

stirlingshire mate :)

so is it likely to be the coilpack if the spark plugs dont sort it ? it sounded quite dull which would maybe be it missfiring ?
