Cheers guys, guess Ill have to get a mechanic round to have a look and fix it for me! Dont fancy taking the cam belt off and all the bit etc

Is it a difficult job to do? How much would I have to pay for someone to sort it?

I was thinking of getting it changed when I get the oil leak sorted as its all got to come off anyway!

So the car is now pissing out oil at quite a rapid rate, took the covers off earlier to get a better look and took some pictures with the phone in the hope that some of you clio gurus out there could give me a hand in identifying where exactly the leak is coming from...

You have to remove the lower hose to drain all the coolant out? I think... plus I was flushing it all out properly, it was all pretty bunged up was crap! btw what colour is the genuine renault coolant meant to be...

F**k sake just been removing a lot of the coolant pipes flushing it through, removed the coolant tank etc went to put the lower pipe back on the radiator took me 40 f*****g minutes trying to get that b**tard clip into the right place and then I got too p*ssed off, had too stop or I would have...

Just a temp fix until I can get the clutch changed! Took 2 of us about 1-2 hours to change the cable, real b**terd!

Yeah the clutch has started slipping now as well, just not looking forward to having to shell out for a new one :( Cheers!

First one snapped, got a replacement one, non-genuine, was stiffer and also snapped, then fitted a genuine renault one about 6 months ago if that, now it just snapped again the other day??? No signs, I just pushed the pedal down and *snap* gone! Any ideas?

more serious than a renault though :p

Just be glad you dont have an mk1 clio, first wheel bearing that went in mine had to be heated with a welder to get it out... Next time just replaced the hubs, it was easier! Oh and jus to be 110% its your wheel bearing, when its making the noise steer right, that would take the pressure...

Just laughing at some people in their absolute belief in our justice system, obviously 40mph on a dual carriageway and nearly 11pm should be severly punished :confused: Anyway, Quote: Originally posted by Harry_manback on 12 July 2005 2) if there are more than 1 named drivers on the car...

So the outside lane merged from the right into your lane? That would give you the right of way surely?

unless you can grip the end of the screw with mole grips and try and undo it? Otherwise youd have to drill it afaik which would strip the thread and then really youd be looking at a new hub which is about 10 quid from a scrappy and takes maybe hour tops to fit...

£200 now...

did it have blue lights on the top? :p

im confused, so were they using a hand held device out the window or did they follow you, or use a stop watch? you might want to have a browse at pepipoo.com and sign up to the forums, as youre looking at a ban might as well try everything to minimize the damage

If you are the registered keeper of the car and have been for a few months ie DVLA have your details as the owner of the car, and it isnt a hire or company car, if you dont receive a NIP in about 17 days (3 days for postage - royal mail - nuff said) then youre in the clear.

I think he means they are used to the power and dont appreciate how quickly they can accelerate to dangerous speeds and lose control of the car...

Maybe you should take the clutch back to whoever fitted it and tell them they ballsed it up, see if you can get it free ;)

So thats like 200 quid for a new clutch fitted?

Great :-/ pulled away from a steep hill the other day soon as i was straight I floored it and it just revved up with my foot totally off the clutch...

What are the first signs that your clutch is on the way to the bin?

If you have a dd80 I think you either a) are most likely banned for life b) wont be driving for a while because your in jail... as for sp60 its undefined speeding offence, whereas sp30 is speeding on a public road with a set speed limit ie not NSP afaik... the first 3 points with an sp60 or...

ring em up and ask would be the easiest option surely...
