The passanger window fuse keeps blowing whenever you try to use the window. Literally before the window even moves, the fuse blows. What would I need to replace to get it working? It doesnt really bother me, buy whenever a passenger gets in the car, ive got to explain how the passenger...

Well after just getting my clutch problem sorted (turned out to be the self adjusting mechanism on the clutch pedal) I was obviously pleased that id saved myself ~£400 on a clutch replacement! So i went for a drive to burger king and on the way back it developed yet another f**king problem...

Just topped up the oil/water, pumped tyres up and drove to tescos and put some petrol in, then she decided she didnt want to engage any gears :@ I assume this is just a clutch problem and not a gearbox problem aswell?? I turned the car off and all the gears engage, which would suggest its just...

I thought the fan therm switch had gone on my valver, but on the journey to buy a new one from renault, i turned the car off, and the fan started running! So its not the fan switch that is the problem. What other reasons could there be for the car overheating? Im not sure the fan comes on...

...a huge water leak coming from the expansion tank, just after i came back from a little drive around bristol. Its not coming out the top, but one of the pipes connecting to it. Plus the water was all orangy/rusty coloured :( is this bad news? or is it just a case of the car getting too hot...

just got the valver back :D its now leak free...however the water temp seems to permanantly sit on the 2/3rds mark, even travelling at 30mph or so. it always used to sit 1/2 way b4 and creep upto 2/3rds just in traffic. When i was sitting in traffic for a couple of mins it was halfway between...

ive just realised the compulsory excess on an elephant policy is £300 for under 21s! I was gonna insure a valver fully comp with £100 voluntary excess, but if this means paying £400 out of my own pocket everytime i have a prang, i may aswell just get tpft. Is this kind of compulsory excess...
