    Starting issue

    well on some other threads they guys mention the lambda sensors... in cold weather they sometimes don't heat up enough and cause the mixture to be out, however, plugged in a reader and the voltages and frequency look spot on right from a shuddering cold start... other comments have been the...

    Temperamental electrics

    checking the fuses would be a good place to start, going through the entire car and cleaning every plug and sensor you can find worked to solve all my electrical issues

    Cambelt change has left me with a jammed bonnet.

    you can possibly get to the latch from underneath but you would need a very long thin arm

    Oil leak around cam cover

    that's not much of a leak, my seats leak more oil than that :tonguewink:, next time you have the belts changed get the cover re sealed, or if it really starts pissing out, but I wouldn't worry too much about some dampness like that

    Idle only estabize when cars get to full stop

    could be a sticky throttle body or a dirty sensor ( i know thats not saying much, there are millions of sensors) a good thourgh clean of all the plugs, n sensors does quite a bit of good... any lights on the dash?

    Clutch slip but not?

    sounds like a clutch, often when on bare metal there is still enough friction for normal drive but it lets go when you give it any more foot... 20k is fairly low though, the clutch pedal is self adjusting, they all have a high bite point...

    interior LED lights

    quite common, caused by residual current in the circuit, not enough to light up a normal bulb, but is enough to light a LED, although my car seems fine... cheap and nasty Chinese LEDs rule as their resistance is usually pretty epic

    strange noise coming from the clio

    A few issues

    well if there is air in the system, the pedal is usually spongey or it goes to the floor with out doing much, some have managed to bleed the air out the pump by going on gravel and slamming on the brakes a number of times so the abs activates, although i wouldnt recomend this if you have limited...

    A few issues

    3 - could be air in the system, if the air has got to the abs unit then its a pig to bleed it out. 4 - hand brake could be down to worn pads but is easily adjustable from under the car, make sure the cables are intact. 5- sounds like dead ball joints, possibly suspension bushes and mounts 6 - if...

    Battery problems

    if you have a volt meter, measure the voltage across the battery with the engine running, it should be around 14 volts... also make sure that the connectors on the battery terminals are clean and free of corrosion, when the car fails to start do you still have interior lights and dash lights? if...
