Didn't get a spare key with the clio when you bought it? I managed to contact my previous owner and she still had the key... result! Maybe worth trying?

Well they've been bought now, hopefully sorts out my wobble and gets me through the MOT on monday!

Bump? :)

You said simple advice and this is literally I wrote in the first replies...

😂 I know...

But a lot less than mcafee and malware bytes doesn't always scan you have to manually do it, it's not protection all the time unless you pay.

Not silly at all! post a picture of the list if you want? Or pm me it and i'll tell you what you can disable.

You can actually go to add/remove on CCleaner which is pretty useful as you're often able to remove multiple programs at once. Not always but with some programs! If you havn't already, right click on your battery charging icon and maybe it should say "power options" select this, then select...

If I were you i'd firstly download CCleaner and run the relevant things (follow this guide if you need to but it's fairly easy to do! http://obrienpc.net/recommended-programs-ccleaner/) As you're running W8, if you right click the taskbar at the bottom and open up your task manager then go to...

Depends on the sort of stuff you've actually got on the laptop? Are you running an anti virus software? If it's McAfee or Norton i'd personally remove it and put AVG on it as there's less bloatware to it which will slow you down. Download the program called "ccleaner" (it's free -...

As I recently had the clio up on ramps I noticed that the tre on the offside had a split gaitor, and the nearside had wobble on the suspension arm when held at 9-3. I have seen this -...

Okay great, thanks! I'll try find some from a scrappy :)

On my clio I noticed that thevery surrounding plastic around the rear seat release clips are in fact snapped on both sides. On a breaker clio I looked at it was the same, is this common? My clios a 5dr. Are these also replaceable or shall I just live with it? Thanks

Mine did this but that was due to my cat blowing i believe. There were a fair few error codes that we cleared and it hasnt happened since. Mine was slightly worse really and dipped to 800 on cold starts and back up again.

Using a standard headunit i believe this would work? Worth a punt at the price!

Okay brill, I've just disconnected mine then and shoved it in the glovebox. Cheers

I just bought a sport grill and removed the bonnet sensor from the old one. Where abouts does this now go as there is no actual hole in the new grill to locate it into? Do I just disconnect and forget about it? I'm not sure if it was even connected in the first place.

Driving around today my exhaust flex finally gave way and now its completely split off. It smells really strong of exhaust fumes now, but i dont think i'll be able to get it into the garage until next weekend really! How much of a job is it to replace this yourself? Do i need it on a ramp? The...

Oh okay, that's more reasonable then! Thanks for the help mate :) I'll get it up tomorrow and make sure it's definitely that. Just typical it goes less than 50 miles into me owning the car! Ahh well! If I was to go for a K-tec stealth exhaust would it come included with this part to resolve the...

Oh right okay, pricey then! Don't know if 'll be able to afford that for a few weeks now! I'll have a better look underneath tomorrow. Is there any negatives with running it with it blowing for a bit?

Gave it a run back to york today and im happy to say that the build up of "cream" under the oil cap has gone! Must've been all those short journeys... Got 38.7 mpg now which is better than the 23 I was getting. Had a look today and think it is the flexi which is blowing. How much of a job is...

I'll get under it tomorrow and have a look. Would the thermostat leaking just be small then? Hence no loss in coolant? It gets upto temp okay usually.

Well i've not gone above 40 in it in the past 200 ish miles. So that's probably why too... Lot of stop start in huddersfield! Hopefully someone else is able to help. Thanks though mate you've helped a fair bit already!

Well i've had chance to record it again so here we go... There was a strange "eggy" type smell under the bonnet but the car did barely even get to temperature so may have just been that. I did find this under my oil cap though, but am i right in thinking its down to me making only small...

Okay, ill go have a nosey now. It's dark and cold though which isn't fun.. I'll try get under it tomorrow to check if my exhaust is blowing or anything

Which one is my caf hose mate?

Its actually more of a "rasping" noise if that's best to describe it.

Yeah only when revving, nothing else. Sorry yeah it's dark! Only got back to uni when it was dark, will get a better video tomorrow. You get the gist though. The thing is, its only just happened this morning! Strange...

Right just recorded it. Here's the video. When i pressed the gas there was a noise under the bonnet which i tried to get my camera to. Hard doing it on your own! Please let me know what this is as it's kind of worrying when i just bought the car... You can also hear a kind of "slipping" noise...

I don't have any evidence no, but i have a fair bit of other service history where they have spent thousands on the car in the past so i don't seem them not doing this if it would come up that it was needed? It had a gold service 700ish miles ago! I could give the PO a call and ask about the...
