Tidy!

Thermostat could be stuck open.

the flashing one?

seems it could be that your pads are low or the calipers are binding to the disc. TBH, best to get it looked at a garage, unless your handy with brakes and sucj...

IIRC you can climb into the 1.2 engine bay. LOADS of room! lol. i should know!.

WOW! The OP is VERY helpfull.

surely if it wobbles then you would notice it when driving, though? A slightly unbalanced wheel shakes like fook, so a wobbly wheel would be a nightmare, surely?

whining noise is 99% gonna be wheel bearings. Even thought the wheels arnt loose, the bearings are still worn. This is the whining you can hear.

could you post a picture? edit: never mind!

You may be correct. I'd start by checking the ABS rings on the ends of the driveshafts for cracks etc, and to see if the sensor is clean and in the correct position.

remove the bumper and it should unclip from the inside

looked on here yet?

Its a for sat nav's , iirc. Its a bit of the windscreen that is not uv coated to allow sat nav's to pick up a signal.

were they cups? Winter was cup killing season! lol.

im out of ideas mate... Pedal is deffo making contact with the switch when not pressed? Tried pulling it upwards to see if there is any reverse travel?

Does it feel odd when braking? Spongey, or the pedal travelling further than normal? Really dont understand when you say the brakes are making a noise..... The brake pedal should be in contact with the switch when not braking at all times.

Noise? can you describe it?

take a look in the drivers foot well at the brake pedal. You cant miss it. Its white and has wires coming from it.

Are the brake lights on if the lights are turned on, but the engine off?

thats the one. Then i'd suggest checking the switch on the brake pedal.

Does the high level brakelight stay on as well? if not, id check and clean the connectors to the lights.

hard a hard life has it? Seems alot to fail on for a 5 year old car!

your best taking the bumper off and then removing the headlights. Piece of cake, really.

Fuse maybe? The lights behind the speedo are smd's and iirc dont fail too often. Problem is probably elseware.

You just top up the gearbox oil untill you can't get anymore in. There isnt a level to check, iirc. You can see it in the engine bay, and it has a clear/gray tube sticking up, i think.

Check the fuse box before anything else. It could also be that the buring smell was the motor or connecting wires etc... hard to say without looking at it.

I am quoting the manual for a 1.2 clio (which the OP HAS!!!). Service every 18000 miles or 2years includes filters, oil etc... Spark plugs: 36000 miles.

Looks like you need to go to Renault and order a new key. £150 is the average price.

yep.

filters and plugs DO NOT need to be done yearly or 10-12k miles. plugs can last up to 70k miles or even more.
