Problem with the Laguna started on Friday - after driving on the motorway for a while, sometimes the traction control + service light will come on, and sometimes the toxic fume flashing light will come on too. I did a scan and it come up with P0314 - Single Cylinder Misfire (Cylinder not...

Getting a rattle when driving with the throttle on, sounds like a metallic rattle from the front offside of the car. Quite quiet, can only hear it when driving around 10-30mph, and stops as soon as you take your foot off the throttle. Any ideas?

When changing gear while accelerating fast, when I press the clutch down the car revs higher, as if I haven't taken my foot off the accelerator properly, or as if the throttle by wire is very laggy. Is this a problem or just the way they are? Also what are the common causes of low mpg on...

Selling my Valver to my uni housemate fell through so it's now on eBay, starting bid £495, no reserve! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300425340561

Where is the best place to get this? Do Halfords keep them in stock? Need one side today really :s

The Toad Ai606 alarm I fitted myself has stopped working - don't really know what to check. I fitted it myself 18 months ago and it has worked perfectly up until today when I checked the alarm still worked, opened the door without disabling the alarm - siren sounded for about a second then it...

When cold my gearbox if fine, but when warm gear change is very stiff to the point the gearstick squeaks loudly. Any ideas? The synchros are fine, its the actual movement of the gearstick. I changed the oil about 9 months ago when I changed a driveshaft, didn't use the correct grade of oil...

My dad's 51 plate Trafic has very little power under 2k, even less than you would normally expect from a Turbo diesel - no black smoke so EGR should be fine and intercooler isn't split, what else to check before paying Renault to plug it in to diagnostics? I know its not a Clio but they do a...

Saw two Clio Sports - Greeny on the way out - think it was a 182 5 minutes before on the way in?

If I spend 2.5k on a Ph1 172, will it be s**t? Would quite like a 172 after I have sold my Valver but that is really stretching my budget.

Will these fit a 172? (Well a Mk1 with 172 widetrack). Were brought from Renault for a Mk1, hopefully they will fit Mk2s?

Saw a 172 (can't remember if it was red or silver) parked up outside Lidl in Ipswich, bumper needs a respray!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Now on the bay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300391123818

Started doing this a few weeks before Christmas, first off it was wouldn't start again in underground car parks, but now was developed into cutting out when driving. Today it did it on a busy roundabout and it took 5 minutes to get it going again. Just completely randomly cuts out when at low...

Had a terrible time changing heater matrix today - not with the matrix itself but putting everything back together! Dash is back on but I have the following problems: No power to the Clock No indicators or Hazard Switch Left Sidelight out Left Rear light out (brakes are fine) No sidelight...

Slowed down and laughed at me fixing my VERY RELIABLE Valver in the Castle Mall car park this afternoon. Red 172 I think. Any c**t off here? :)

Anyone know how much Type D is from GSF?

Seen it a few times at Tesco Hatfield, blonde girl driving.

This is what you get if you have to park in Hatfield. Luckily I have an alarm and it went off as soon as they got the door open, so nothing got nicked but I am now left with this to fix up. How would you guys sort it out - ideally I would like go get a new door as it is getting rusty on the...

Hi - I have posted on the forum a few times but I am now a paid up member so hello! From Stowmarket but I spend most of my time in shitty Hatfield at uni. I have a 1991 Clio 16V, here's a pic from the recent ClioSport Rolling Road Day in Ipswich.

Haven't posted much on here, but now Clio16valver is down I might as well! Bought this of a guy in Norwich in August 2008, 160,000ish miles and going strong! Made 152 BHP at the recent Ipswich rolling road day.

Buying a MK2 Renault Laguna soon, so need to sell my MK1 Clio, but them are a few problems I would like to fix first. The first problem is when the engine revs past 3000 RPM, it makes the most awful whistling noise, easily heard both inside and outside the car. It doesnt always occur, and...

Grinding noise coming from back of car, seeing as I have had new brake shoes I am guessing that its one of the rear whell bearings, any way I can test them?

I have a MK1 1.2 Clio, thinking about putting a younger 1.4 engine in it, would my Clio be classed as a modified car and a high group insurance, or would it just increase to the group insurance that a standard 1.4 would be? (I'm with Quinn Direct)

What does it do exactly? I took the whole air intake system apart and noticed a valve for cold air and hot air...I'm guessing that hot air makes the spring expand and lets more cold in, would taking the valve out and hot air feed improve things? I know its only a 1.2 but I like to squeeze as...

I was cleaning my engine bay on my MK1 today and when I tryed to start the engine nothing happened. Once you have stopped laughing at me could anyone let me know where all the earth points are around the engine? All the electrics in the car have failed but the battery is fine so I'm guessing I...

Currently have 195/45 R15 tyres, need a new set on the front and they look pricey. Looking on Black Circles I saw their special offers section, and there are alot of 195/50 R15 going cheaply. Is there a huge height difference between them, 5% of the width of the tyre doesnt sound too much...

Angry. Brought a new set of brake discs and brake pads on ebay for £15, luckiest man in the world. Until I saw what the previous owner done to one of the torx bolts holding the brake pad on. I've tried hammering in a bigger Torx bit, but it just chewed up the bit. I hammered in a flathead bit...

Gmax Lowering Springs (35mm) Or PPD Lowering Springs (40mm) Is it worth going for the cheaper make for the extra 5mm? Bit of a tight budget so any larger drop is out of the question... (MK1 Clio) Also what are the odds that a 12 year old Clio with 100,000 miles on the clock has a seized...
