Whenever I get to about 3-4k RPM and let off the accelerator I get a grinding noise apparently coming from the passenger side of the car. This happens when moving or when stationary. It sounds very similar to previous cars I've had when the exhaust heat shield was loose and grinding against...

My Clio is in the bodyshop for some minor repairs after some bint managed to scrape my front bumper with her car. Her insurance company have kindly sorted me out a hire car in the mean time. All good... I got a '10 plate Corsa 1.2. I expected it to be slow but had no idea just how slow it is...

My passenger side headlight has stopped working - the sidelight still works though. Do I just need to replace the bulb or is it the whole headlight that I'll need to replace? Is it a bumper off job or can I just sort it without taking it off cheers

I've searched but can't find the answer to my question! I'm trying to get my engine cover off but the bolts seem ridiculously tight. The engine is hot though as i've just driven the car - maybe it'll be easier once it's cooled down and the metal contracts? I tried using a screwdriver with a...

It appears the '182' in the name of the car refers to how many problems you're likely to encounter during ownership. I got my 182 about a month ago. It's just gone over 76k miles. Was on 75k when i bought it. It drove absolutely fine for the first week, no problems at all. Then I was driving...

I've only had my car a few weeks but I've noticed today when I put my foot down and get to around 6-7000rpm there's quite a heavy vibration through the pedals. Mainly feel it on the clutch. I'm leaning towards it being driveshafts or engine mounts. It's definitely not normal, my old car (civic)...

Hi Just got my Clio back after having some work done (cambelt, dephaser pulley, plugs, oil change) and now when I press the button on the key to lock the doors, they lock, hazards flash and then it beeps continuously for about 30 seconds It didn't used to do that. I occasionally got 3...

I was driving my Clio 182 home earlier and all of a sudden there was some kind of power loss. It responded a bit like a car with a slipping clutch. Even out of gear it was reluctant to rev. I did manage to get it home ok but it definitely wasn't driving properly. Seems to idle fine, it's always...

I was just coming out of Weedon and you were parked on the other side of the road then pulled out behind me (black 182, 04 plate) and turned off at a roundabout. Think it was a 200 anyway, looked a bit like this although the colour is completely different in real life

I used some Meguiars polish and NXT Tech wax. Came up pretty good!

Unfortunately it's raining pretty hard so I haven't really been able to drive it properly yet. First impressions though, damn it's quick compared to my old car (1.6 Civic). Only got a pic I took when viewing it and one from the for sale ad;

Is there any way I can run a hose from say, my kitchen tap? Unfortunately I don't have a tap/hose outside and it makes cleaning my car an absolute nightmare. Having to constantly fetch buckets of water, most of which ends up on my feet!

Hi CS members I'm Jay, 23 from Northamptonshire. I've always been a fan of Renaults due to my sister owning a string of R5GTT's (which all blew up in spectacular style) but never owned one myself. Now the time has come to buy a 172. It makes sense with my price range - it's probably the most...
