HI, thanks for all your help on this matter. Just as an update, took the car in to be fixed, they changed the ABS sensor and that seemed to have done the trick. Spoke to a mate with a standard 1.2 clio and he had the same issues and the garage told him it was the engine loom. Since I spoke to...

Yeah it is no.2. What is that switch called? Would it damage the car at all if I drove to The Isle of Wight and back. Obviously would not go over 60 all the way. Just struggling to get another car at such short notice.

Right cant take a pic because its all been put back together but there is a pic I found on the internet. Might not be very helpful. Hope it is. The switch/sensor is the black thing to the left of the yellow oil filler cap. http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a477/Nathan_Suttle/DSCN3690.jpg One...

Right, first of all thanks all for your input. My girlfriend is a gearbox mechanic and she has a diagnostic reader. We put it on the car and it came up with the following faults. 1)A/C Refrigerant Pressure Circuit 2) Brake Pedal Sensor circuit 3) Throttle valve position sensor circuit...

Yeah had a few problems before, Had the throttle body replaced a few years ago under warrenty, Will not be impressed if its that again. A few weeks ago had a problem when approaching a junction or just slowing down with traffic, As I dipped the clutch the revs would just drop off and the car...

No its not revving up but since it stalled I have only done a mile or so, very gingerly. The test will be on the way to work in the morning, Just hope it does not do it on the M25 at the roadworks.

Hi, I have a 172 Sport on a 53 plate. I was driving home from work today doing about 95mph, when suddenly the car decided to have a fit on me. The revs shot up to the limiter without any action from me, the speedo dropped to 60 and held there even when the throttle was left alone. Then I took...
