Ok, cheers guys, bloomin battery went this morning as well, not having much luck with this at the moment. Got in this morning, turned the key and just saw some faint flickering lights on the dashboard, brilliant.

Sounds like could just need oiling then, how easy is this?

Is there any way I can check for either easyish?

Hiya, got a clio 172 - 2001. definitely doesn't sound normal to me to be honest and does feel tight. Just know renault will want at least £200 to even look at it with taking the gear box out etc.

hi all, I'm trying to start learning a bit more about my car and this is one thing I need to srt asap I think. the clutch on my car seems to be tight/sqeeky but not from cold. Only seems to be after I've done about 5/10 miles. Any ideas? Is this just a clutch change needed or is this...

Just under 38,000 on the clock. Mechanic said everything looked absolutely fine with the engine, apart from the damage obviously, there was nothing I couldve done to prevent this. Unless of course , Renault had made people aware of the design fault and a shielding couldve been placed around...

Registered Feb 2002. Quote is for labour from garage around the corner from me, standard costs, renault quoted them just over £3000 for the engine. J3ned, you have some engines then, would these come with any warranty etc though?

My clio 172 cut out the other day whilst doing about 5 miles an hour, got the AA out to look, couldnt find fault but got towed home. Get it to nearest garage, who then strips the engine apart, the whole thing is shot to peices, valves pistons, head, camshaft the lot. Basically, need a brand...
