    Wet passenger footwell - windscreen seal?

    (Posted this in the Exterior/Bodywork forum last week to barely any responce, hoping for more here! :) ) My passenger footwell is wet and so is the bulkhead (correct term?) at the back of it running up behind the dash. Part of the windscreen seal directly in front of this area is visibly loose...

    Think my windscreen seal has gone.

    My passenger footwell is sopping wet and so is the bulkhead (correct term?) at the back of it running up behind the dash. Part of the windscreen seal directly in front of this area is visibly loose for 10cm or so, so I'm assuming this is the culprit. Now, how much is this going to cost to fix...

    Brakes sticking on?

    Recently had new brakes fitted all round, with fronts upgraded to Brembo HC, DS2500, braided lines, dot 4 fluid. Driven 600 miles on them including a bedding in session. Stopping power once warm is immense so no problems there! Squeal at low speeds as to be expected. However when I brake to...

    Do I need a new battery?

    Forgive me if this has been asked and answered before, did a brief search to no avail. Last Sunday my car (52 plate Cup) struggled to start from cold (it was very cold mind! thick frost and -7 according to the cars thermometer.) Was it just the extreme cold that temporarily killed the battery...

    My knob is falling apart...

    The leather is peeling off at the top. Maybe I've been too rough with it? Can you buy new ones from Renault?

    Dash switching off

    Every now and again my dash switches off for a second when I'm driving along. It usually does it just after I've started up and have driven for a 10 seconds or so. All the lights turn off and the gauges die too, then it lights up like I've just turned the ignition and goes back to normal...

    Seatbelt problem

    My drivers side seat belt has stopped pulling back in properly when I un-buckle it. It pulls in a little then hangs too loose. It made a rubbing noise and felt stiff when I put it on the other day - think thats when it broke :S Please say theres a cheap and easy fix for this!

    Creaking clutch

    My clutch is making a loud creaking noise once its hot. You can hear it inside and outside the car. It seems to work fine though, perhaps a little heavy. Been doing it for a month or so now. I did a quick search and from what I can tell its likely to be a problem with the cable. Can anyone...

    Auxilary belt change

    (Also known as the accessory belt, I believe) When did everyone have it changed on their RS Clio? I have been informed by two reliable (I think!) sources that this should be done on the 36k service. But is sometimes not because Renault get confused with non-RS Clio's that do not require the...

    Dash malfunction

    Yesterday morning as I drove to work my dash seemed to die for a second. I'd just pulled out of my drive and driven 400m down the road when all the lights went off and dials died then quickly came back on again. I'm not sure but the headlights might have switched off at the same time. The engine...

    What's difference between these tyres?

    Both Michelin PE2's: 195/45 R16 80V 195/45 R16 84V What do the differing 'V' numbers mean? :S 84V is slightly more expensive. They are both available from My Tyres

    0W-40 Oil - OK for my 172?

    I've just bought some Castrol Edge Sport 0W-40 fully synthetic stuff. I consulted a fact sheet in Halfords and it said it was suitable for 2.0 litre Clios. Is this OK? (The search function is buggered at the moment)

    Black 172/182 with Trophy alloys, Caversham Rd, Reading

    Spotted twice in the last couple of days. Second time was this morning at about 7:45. I never get a good enough look to tell if its a 172 or 182. Looks low though. Black paint and dark alloys is a great combo :approve:
