So would the reccomendation be to disconnect the battery, clean up the terminals and connectors with some switch cleaner or a wire brush and reconnect it all?
I have a wierd intermittent starting problem with my 172.
Sometimes, when I try to start the car the engine turns over once and then everything dies (like the battery is totally dead) - all the lights on the dash go off (sometimes the speedo jumps up to about 40mph!). I then try again...
Just for a bit of a conclusion to this, I took it to the local Renault Minute. They took the brakes to bits, said there was nothing wrong with the discs or pads, cleaned it all up, greased the calipers (or something like that), charged me £50 for an hours labour and the problem seems to be fixed :)
Ugh. I know you are right, but last time I jacked up the car I bent the front jacking point and now I'm wary of bending it more, or it breaking while its on the the jack and ending up with a nasty hole in my car! :( (Or worse I guess, ending up with a car on my head!)
I'll probably have a...
^ Err. It's definitely not normal! It never used to do it and it only does it on one wheel.
I'll try the reverse back thing next time I go out - would the clunck be obvious? I always reverse into my drive and I've never noticed anything, but I wouldn't be listening for it particularly.
I can hear a regular ticking noise from the front drivers side wheel once I've used a brakes a few times - like something is catching or rubbing. The frequency of the ticking varies with speed and if I gently apply the brakes the noise stops until I release the brakes then it starts again.

I've got VB6 experience too. Moved on abit now to mainly C#. But ask away! I'm sure someone will be able to answer whatever question you have looking at the replies above.
...what do you guys (and gals) think?
Out for a bit of a Sunday morning blast, pulled into a car park and heard that "tap-tap-tap" noise you get when you have a stone in your tyre. Thought I'd hop out and take a look and found this little beauty stuck in my tyre :eek:
I was in two minds...
I'll be interested to hear how it goes too. I've been thinking about building one on and off for a few years, but never quite got it done. My main concern would be getting a nice quiet one for the living room, but that seems quite tricky without spending a fortune...
Someone posted a similar thread on here a week or so ago, and someone else (wow could I be more vague!?) suggested that it might be a gas escaping from the exhaust system somewhere around the CAT.
Mine does this after about 6500rpm but only when I've got my foot down. If I hold stead at those...
Re: Exhaust just feel off
Same happened to me - fine one day, blowing the next, fell off the next (on the way to get it replaced!!)
You can buy just the back box (I did).
Personally, I'd be phoning up the place I bought it from (assuming it was a garage and not private sale) and asking them...
