Yeah its the one at the back that the bolt goes through the centre. It has perished and the bolt has fell out.

Hi - one of the rubbes at the rear of my exhaust has gone, Any ssuggestions where to find a replacement?

Depends what clio it is. If it is pre 2001 then I dont think there is a cable. If the catch is at the bottom of the seat rather than at shoulder height then its all held together by one pin. Came out on my car a few times - if this is the case rake about under your seat and find it then...

Recently when I turn the ignition a massive clunk seems to come from the rear passenger side of the vehicle just as it starts. Wouldnt have thought there was much back there to cause this noise when car is stationery. Any thoughts? Cheers

Ive just noticed the same problem with my clio 1.2. I only have the original suspension so I dont know what it is. I havent put my car on the jack yet but when I grab the wheel I can feel a small amount of play, checked the bolts are tight and it seems fine.

Hi, This morning when i went out to start the car I couldnt start it because I had a flat battery. I left the interior light on so I know this was what caused it. I managed to get a jump start and the car is running fine apart form the electrical warning light is constantly illuminated. I...

Update - ive just went out and checked and the oil is below min on the dip stick and there is a small drip of oil on the drive way. Does it sound like the head?

CHeers for the advice. How do I figure out if it is the head gasket without taking it to Arnold Clark who would no doubt fleece me for every penny I have.

Should I drive it?

Noticed on my way home tonight that my car was running a bit on the hot side. Tried to put the blowers on to take some heat off the engine - only cold air came out which puzzled me a bit. 5 mins later temp warning light came on and stop light came on. Under the bonnet the cooling seemed very...
