Hi guys my clio let me down for the first time ever today. At first all the dash lights were flickering/ dim and the car wouldnt even turn over but I then cleaned the battery connectors and the lights went back to normal and the car would turn over 3 or 4 times but not start. The AA came out and...

Cheers guys, Just checked my receipt it was the precat sensor I changed :( the EML is not on but would a diagnostic still show something up without the light on?

Hi guys, My 172 is averaging 25-26 mpg (33 on dashboard). What could be causing this? The car is also very hesitant when its cold and is quite lumpy especially at 30mph in 4th its almost like its losing power for a second. My journeys tend to be about 30 miles and mostly A/B roads. Generally...

Hi guys. Had a problem with my clio for about a week now the abs has been kicking in at low speeds (abs light doesnt come on though) this caused me to bounce over a kerb yesterday so Iv taken my car into a garage. Theyv suggested that the rear brakes are to blame as they are knackered (theyr...

Hi guys, My 172 started popping and banging a lot last week coinciding with a drop from 29-34mpg to 25-27 and the EML light came on codes that appeared were catalytic converter below efficiency (decatted) and something about a knock sensor. Would the knock sensor cause this? there is also a...

Had a quick look in the dark rear shocks look ok but ill replace them anyway as I need a new spring and the Event and Rotalia tyres on the rear are near the limit. Cheers guys.

Hi guys basically got this problem with my 172 at speed it feels very skittish and when i go around any corner at most speeds in the wet i start sliding. I turned left at 20mph yesterday and ended up sideways and on a gentle curve at 60mph ( just after leaving a dual carrigeway ) I ended up...

Cheers guys I managed to get a fault code P0314 does anyone know what this means?

Hi. My 172 suddenly developed a really bad miss fire (it sounds like a rough subaru) I changed the spark plugs and this helped quite a bit but didnt completely cure it however it was much better. Now 2 days later the missfires back as bad as ever along with a flashing eml light it doesnt happen...

Cars looked good guys :)

Hi guys, The tab thing that is under the bonnet on my 172 has snapped how can i open my bonnet without it? It still lifts up but obviously wont open. Cheers

As above really I also got a new tyre fitted and a rear tyre moved to the front. Car had a slight pull to the right anyway but now it feels quite dangerous. I have had it back and the tracking was slightly out from where it should have been and it was sorted but its still doing it. Is there...

Flame red 172 seen yours about a few times looks really smart :).

Jezza is it your car i keep seeing about Troon? Quite low at the front inferno 182? This thing belongs to a girl that lives near me I see it every couple of days.

Today after a quick wash and drive i found my drivers side xenon wasnt working. After I had a quick check on here i found that it could be the fuse due to water getting into the ballast or an ignitor my problem is whilst the fuse was easy to check i wasnt so sure about the ignitor. In this...
