Will give that a try mate cheers, cos thats exactly what it sounds like, when it first startred thats what i thought it was and startred looking all round the car for a wasp! ha ha!!
WOW! Wish my monaco looked like that! I dont have the time to spend on it tho :( been looking for a top notch detailer round by me but cant find one for love nor money!
right....been on quite a long drive tonight and its deffo not the interior light or the renault diamond, it is deffo coming from inside the plastic casing of the steering wheel mount (with the stalks on) it almost sounds at times like a electric fritz or short circuit :-/ put pressure on casing...
The passenger side rear speaker (by the seat) vibrates HORRIBLY and makes listening to decent music at vol 18+ pretty much impossible! i cant decide if its the speaker itself or the plastic cover??? Any ideas/suggestions?? I cant be the only person with this problem!
This is gonna sound like nowt but its really annoying lol! There is an intermittent buzzing like a wasp stuck inside my steering column.... every now and then it will just start to buzz! any idea what the hell it is and how i can stop it???
My passenger door already squeaks and whines but iv...
Yesterday afternoon flying along woodhead road from holmfirth towards huddersfield, my old ph2 clio 172 X4TDH - lol nice to see she is still running which is a shock tbh as I part ex'd her nearly 6 months ago with over 110k on the clock, and she was not healthy (I only had her 2 months, got her...
Saw a nice 182 parked outside shopping centre on main road into Holmfirth, then saw another ph1 172 few mins later by a petrol station on the same road!
Cheers guys! Just been having a nosy underneath and sure enough one of the relay leads was loose :) thanks for saving me a huge bill from a renault dealership!
Under the dash as in having to take it off :-s or just under the dash as in in the foot well lol! Will have a look, maybe someone has caught it with there foot or something and pulled it loose?
OH NO! Driving home from work tonight, and randomly as Im going along, the headlights suddenly went out! Sidelights and rear lights were however still working fine! Pulled over and turned off the engine, fired back up, still no headlights (sides, rear and f/beam all fine) just the bloody xenons...
Daft as it sounds Iv had 2 clio 172's, first one at first returned 38mpg, but suddenly dropped to 29..... changed the tyres and kept em perfect pressure and it shot back up!
One iv got now refuses to deliver decent mpg unless i use sainsburys super plus!
Check your tyre pressures - that...
Maybe I just got a bad batch of tesco fuel? Although I must say Texaco fuel I have used in a few cars and it is S***e! Supermarkets alledgedly get there fuel from the big suppliers anyway, I know Morrisons used to use Texaco (not sure if thats still the case)
Right heres a puzzler......
For starters we all know Renault reccomend 98 Ron fuel for the 172/182.... now usually I fill mine with Super Plus from Sainsburys (97 Ron btw) and get damn good fuel economy. Last week however I had reason to fill up at a Tesco with there Super Plus (99 Ron). In the...
Paintwork is looking a bit swirly on my 172, was gonna have a bash at polishing her up myself but would much prefer to get her machine polished? Anyone know anyone good round the Huddersfield area?
How much should i expect to pay for a machine polish in this day and age anyway? Never bothered...
sounds like iv just been lucky with my good economy! lol! yeah i wondered if it was the o2/lamda sensor. How easy is that to replace? Need to get a service and cam change booked :-( £££££ oh dear!
My Clio 172 seems to be having a paddy.... had the tracking done the other day (badly may I add - see my other thread!) and since then the fuel economy has dropped from a pleasent avergage of 36mpg, to a much less satisfying 32mpg (at one point it went to 29.9 and i was most alarmed) I havent...
Wightman - took it to Hiq Tyre Services, used them for quite a long time and they used to be REALLY good, they tracked my old clio up spot on. Not sure wtf is happening these days!
