Hi just a couple of questions for the weekly problem. My clutch screeches sometimes when I pull away, people look at me like I'm doing a wheel spin which I'm not, anyone know what it is and means. All gears select fine and works as it should. Also the engine sounds quite tappy, I know for...

Okay I think my Clio has got bored of fuel consumption problems and now the brakes feel diffrent. When the engines not on the pedal is hard, It was actually my Dad who brought it to my attention when he borrowed the car. they seem unresponsive unless you push the pedal down quiet far. Does...

Got out the Clio earlier and was welcomed to a hissing sound after inspection I found that my near new Michelin has a slow puncture, was still hissing an hour later when I drove home (about 1/4 a mile) with it. Probably be flat tommorow I was wondering if I drove down to Kwit-Fit would I be...

As I found out earlier when it started raining my rear wiper has decided not to bother doing it's job anymore. Also the front and rear washer jets no longer shoot water or even attempt to. Is there a fuse or something which controls them, I've checked the fuse box under the dash, and under the...

Bloody thing been driving me mad for hours. Right it all started eariler when I noticed my sub wasn't working, wasn't hard (twin 15") lol. Anyways I pulled over and saw the light on the amp was still on so naturally I checked the wires that go from the amp to the sub all fine had a fiddle with...

I put about £8 in a time and the petrol light comes on almost instantly. I'm currently filling up daily. I'm a student so I can't just buy a whole tank at least not until 22nd when I get some money. Is there anything cost effiecient I can do, It's a 1.2 Clio I already drive very sensibaly and...

Things been driving me mad, does it at low speed, I've heard about Clio's doing it at full lock etc.. but this is just on the straight at about 20mph and under theres a near constant squeek, i got the car nicely kitted out and a system in it but I sound like a bloody mouse.

I'm screwed as I'm supposed to be off out in the Clio tommorow but the light side lights are playin up. Started out at dusk to get me some food, still aint eaten!! Put the side lights on and noticed the left side light wasn't working, however when I put full beam on the light side works...

I've got a 100db 50w x4 Sony Xplode Headunit currently running on standard speakers. I was wondering would I benifit from rear 6x9's without installing an AMP. I'm hoping to buy a mates sub and amp when I get paid again next month but I've got the money for some decent 6x9's now.

Right there seems to be an oil leak under the car, not enough to drip on the floor but it sort of hugs the underside of the car. I assume it's oil as it's a patch so if it was cr@p from the road it'd be all over the underside, you've got the downpipe in the middle the leak is to the right of...

Probably could think of better times for the b@stard to go on me but it's stopped working, I took the blower out of the dash and a few layers of skin off too as it's such a tight fit. Well the lead at the back of it is burnt in one section and I think one of the wires has a break in it...

Don't know if it's worth mentioning as I've only got the car, (91 RT, 72k) about 456 miles ago, I've noticed it's slipped out of 2nd gear a handfull of times probably about 4 it total not a lot when you include 500 miles to it I know but is this a sign that the gearbox is on it's way out??

I've got a mk1 Clio and I do a lot of driving on poorly lit roads, I was wondering what bulbs will upgrade my overall vision whilst being road legal, i dont care for all that blue tint crap but I wouldn't mind seeing the road in front of me.

I'm about to purchase insurance online, I want tpft but the car is only a 1.2 1991 so if it got stolen or caught fire I wouldn't claim, but as I work nights and will take the car to work I was wondering what should I put for this. Where is the car usually kept overnight? I was thinking...

Had anyone had any trouble with the lhs light, on mine it's not flush the rhs of the lhs light is sticking out about 3cm. Cant for the life of me work out what its sticking on.

Is it just a matter of taking the old ones out and plugging the connector to the new ones in? I know they are so unoriginal and everything but I reckon they'll go nice with my car. Only reason I'm asking is because some guy I know has managed to fcuk his up i.e no reverse lights and the bulb...

I'm going to buy a Kenwood headunit from Halfords at the weekend and get them to fit it to my mk1 Clio, it's still got the original fittings in so I take it I'll have to pay for an iso connector I also think my wires are in a mess theres some unconnected wires under te bonnet too which might...

My blower in my Mk1 is playing up, when I turn it on it sometimes doesn't go and I have to smack the dashboard even then it turns off sometimes, sounds like a loose connection is this a common problem, is the heater assembly easy to get to, would like to think this is a job I can do.

Hi guys, I know this is sort of searching for a needle in a haystack but my Clios got an oil leak. It seems to be coming from the back of the engine somewhere. If I look behind the engine lump behind the airfilter everythign is soaked in oil including the N/S wishbone. Anyone want to take a...

Ive got a Clio RT 1.4. Its my first car and I dont know a great deal about them engine wise so be gentle! The temperature gauge seems to creep up to the 3/4 mark when the fan kicks in. For example I started the car today, its pissing it down with rain outside and let it idle for about 20...
