Burning oil somewhere.
Blue smoke when I start it and for a minute or so after when giving it a Rev. Fine after it's been driven for a minute or two.
Turbo seals ? Valve seals ? Anyone any ideas. Megane dci btw.
Weird loud sucking noise when I put my foot down. Only started today and was fine before so no idea what it is. Will have to wait and see if it continues.

Could be a bit of a bargain if you're from NI or can get it back over the water.
Would nearly always choose a song first. Usually when listening to it I get ideas for what I want to do and work from that. But everyone works differently. Just see what works for you.
Not trying to be awkward either mate. I've already accepted that I was at fault for it and was only involved in this thread as someone wanted to know how insurance would feel about them having stopped on a main road and I've experienced how they will react.
Main road. No driveways just road and a service station and as I stated I did react to her braking but every time I see brake lights in front of me I don't automatically preform an emergency stop.
Clear main road. Why would she stop ? Seen her brake lights come on and braked just not as hard as she did. It wasn't my first reaction to think that she must be putting the anchors on when there's f**k all in front of her to give her reason to.
Insurance won't care. Has this happen me a few months back. 60mph road she the woman in front pulled up dead to let a lorry out. Being that I could see in front if her and knew there was no reason for her to stop I didn't brake hard enough until too late. As soon you go into the back of someone...
Yeah fine. Bollocksed my thumb a bit but nothing awful. The girlfriend ended up with a crack in her breastbone and a sore back so I told her to claim away and get something out of it since the other woman is as well. Either way I'll still be getting rimmed for it come renewal.
Sorry to disappoint. Was close to having everything finished for it. Had the body parts booked into get sprayed on Monday and landed home from the hospital on Wednesday night to two huge boxes with my sport interior. Gutted.
Was on a main 60mph road when the woman in front stopped sharp to let a lorry pull out of a junction and I couldn't stop in time so went into her arse. Was pretty much not expecting her to be stopping and didn't brake as hard as she did until it was too late and I realised she had stopped.
Well the car is dead. Had a crash on Wednesday morning and it's not going to be worth fixing with the damage done.
Will more than likely be breaking the whole car unless I'm getting another Clio but have no clue what's happening right now.
RIP.
Re: Looking guidance.
Well if anything it could help me in the long run. Leave more room and be more prepared for stupid things to just happen out of nowhere.
Both fine just shaken. I've told the mrs to put in an injury claim anyway as it's not going to affect my renewal too much now anyway...
Re: Looking guidance.
Well insurance is informed and I have to go to the station tomorrow to see what's happening. Fingers crossed I'll get to keep my licence ...
Re: Looking guidance.
Well this was my thoughts on the matter as well but seeing as I went into the back of her there's nothing I can really do about it.
Re: Looking guidance.
Well being that im only into my second year of driving i cant really afford 9 points right now :/.
have informed insurance and they are sending a claims form and a solicitor for my girlfriend. Also have to go to the police station tomorrow to make a statement il assume...
Re: Looking guidance.
Hopefully getting discharged soon and then will be contacting the insurance. Does anyone how the insurance will work with claims ? As in does it go up more with more people claiming ? I'm fully expecting a claim from the other driver but was saying to the girlfriend that...
Re: Looking guidance.
Not too bad thumbs a bit fucked from holding the wheel and the girlfriend has a tiny crack on her chest from the belt.
Not rang them yet was going to wait until I got left here and got home.
Just had a crash. Still in the hospital at the moment waiting on the girlfriend to be signed out.
Basically I'm just looking advice on what will happen from anyone who's had a similar experience.
I'll be claiming fault. Went into the back of someone after she braked sharp on a main road to...
