hello and welcome to CS!
First of all you are not alone! I had the same issue about 100,000 miles ago and was one of the very first to come across it.
First thing (and cheapest option) is to change the battery as these monsters are very sensitive to voltage fluctuations. If that doesn’t solve...
Another year over 😢
Not long got home and I’m just about beaten 💀
Thank you to all the CS admin and mods who work so hard to bring this event together every year 👏🏼
Same again next year (same weather would be nice too!) ?
Didn’t take many pics but here’s the ones I did take!
I changed both side inners and outers last week (not because they were worn and had play but because one had seized up and I couldn’t get the tracking done… nearly 200k on original track rods 😂
But that paired with a new ARB, wishbones and shocks this year she drives like an absolute dream now...
Little update bump!
Had these on my car for 371 days and 30,00miles, could have stretched another 1 or 2k out of them if I really tried.

Hi and welcome to CS!
First up change your battery if you haven’t done so already, you need an AGM one for it. If that doesn’t fix it then it’s time to get it to a dealer for a new transmission control module which will need coding to the car the cost for this will be roughly £1000 I would...
They do have a habit of leaking so maybe they just removed the pipes… or the washer bottle was damaged and they’ve replaced it with a standard mk2 bottle without the headlight washer pump?
I’d be looking for evidence of accident repair tbh.
Looks like it has had had some damage and needed a new front end and whoever has repaired it has replaced the xenons with standard headlights and forgotten to replace the washers.
Im absolutely shafted when it comes to insurance on the Clio as it requires a specialist ADI and modified car policy in one and in my 6 years of searching Adrian Flux are the only broker who will entertain me. So this year when my colleagues were complaining of 150% increases in premiums but...
@Fredsta yes, you’re totally right, the pipe circled has been replaced to remove the symposer pipe. I’m not sure where it came from if I’m honest but @Ricardos might be able to remember as it was his doing!
