    Clio 1.4 16v Really low oil and low coolant

    Misses came home yesterday and said the SERV light had come on and the oil was flashing on the trip computer. Oil had dropped to below min line and needed about 3 litres to top it back up. Also noticed the coolant had dropped to just below min line. There is no white smoke, milky oil or oil in...

I removed the passenger wheel and a piece of the arch liner and it is visible. The body and terminals were not corroded but the strap itelf...

    Clio 182 not starting

    Took the earth strap off and it fell apart in my hands. Swapped it for one of these as the previous one couldn't be used again: http://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/garage-equipment/car-battery-chargers/halfords-braided-earth-battery-cable-22cm-9 Now the immoboliser is on constantly with a...

    Clio 182 not starting

    Having a search around the gearbox earth seems the most likely. Gonna give that one a go and will report back.

    Clio 182 not starting

    Checked the earths behind headlight and they are clean but i gave them a rub down anyway. I've pulled the fuses and re-seated. Could the burning smell have been the solenoid on the starter burning out? It appears the car sometimes does nothing because the immoboliser is still on and the other...

    dynamique wear to tyres on outer edge

    Been running 195/50/15 on the dynamique alloys which originally had 185/55/15. The front tyres have worn down on the outer edge quicker on both sides evenly. I had the car tracked after noticing the problem but it wasnt out by much anyway and it didn't resolve the problem. I have also used 33psi...

    2005 clio 1.416v leaking headgasket

    Clio headgasket is leaking oil quite badly. Garage have told me £300 to have it replaced and will 100% stop the oil leak. A leaking headgasket on a 2005 clio... Sound normal for clios'? Headgasket is not blown just purely leaking engine oil.
