Hi guys, car passed its MOT other day fine, but i've got a couple of advisory items and one i'm not too sure about?
001 - Front brake pads wearing thin. - Easy as peas, happy days.
002 - Centre rear (Joint) Exhaust has a minor leak of exhaust gases. - Is this bad? If so hard to fix?
003 -...
Hi guys.
Was out yesterday with a full car and i went over a few speed bumps which scraped on what im guessing was the cat.
Now its blowing to f**k! I couldn't have a look cause it was dark when i got home but it definately sounded bad.
+ i don't have much spare time.
My MOT is due feb 20th and...
Apologies if this has already been posted, but it gave me some laughs.

Alright chaps,
Clio's run fine for ages now, but lately its been abit crap.
I've been doing a fair bit of motorway driving this week, and i noticed that when i go above 70, something on my drivers side is knocking.
Personally i think it could be the driveshaft, but i wanted a few more opinions...
I've just sat in t'car after being at work all day, and when i started it up it was really juddery, even before i set off.
When driving home, it sounded like a combination of the engine misfiring, or exhaust blowing.
My exhaust is fine, no holes or weak parts.
It did it a couple of months ago...
What do you do?
I've just been to McDonalds, and whilst i was sat munching a delicious McChicken sandwich, this old codger pulls up next to me.
He then reverses and pulls abit closer.
Our lass said to me "No door left for you then.."
And with that, the absolute moron opens his door into my...
Alright chaps.
1st problem is a squeak i get when i accelerate. I'm guessing this is my fan belt, so that's gonna get changed in due time. Unless anyone else knows otherwise?
03 car - 55k miles, unknown service history. (Naivety of youth)
2nd, yet main problem is a squeaking noise i get when...
After a few weeks of "Woooooooooom" at 40mph, and a few suggesting a wheel bearing problem i ordered the part.
However, today after i'd finished college forever and was on the final KFC dinner; when setting off back to college, something snapped. It was a horroble noise.
Every revolution of...
A Blue 1.2 Mk2 Ph1 with a MASSIVE Renault Sport sticker on either back window.

No style.

I really wanted to get out and take a dump on the bonnet, however i feel this would have...
Erm, i've kinda come to the conclusion the awful droning noise i can hear when driving above 50 is a wheel bearing problem.
Done a bit of research into it and apparently its one of the symptoms.
So here i am:
1. What happens if i don't get it fixed sharpish?
2. How much is it to fix?
3. How...

Just been for a 'value' car wash, at Tesco, and it was a bag of s**t.

It didn't even clean my wheels properly, so i gave them a good go over when i got home.
Which turned into a full car...
Mine's buggered. The housing for the tip to go into snapped off in the snow and crap weather.
So now i'm left aerial and signal-less for my radio. (How i miss capital FM. Or GALAXY!)
Been looking at getting a new one, and was unsure about replacing it, but iirc i need a 23mm socket to get it...
Hi,
Read a couple of threads about brake lights been out, with rear lights still working, and i understand the bulb is a dual filament one. Most answers have been simply to change it, i have and it still ain't having it.
My passenger brake light stopped working yesterday i think, (some nice...
Hi guys.
Gonna start looking into getting a new exhaust to get rid of the rocket engine that was attached to the back of mine when i bought it.
Car is 1.2, unsure of my options, as most threads are about 172/182 exhausts and i'm not sure what'll fit or whats available for my car.
Thats where i...
When i bought my car, it came with the fattest, chubby exhaust ever. Its disgusting.
I've just not really had enough money to change it yet.
Its not that loud, but loud enough.
I've recently had the sport alloys refurbed and put new tyres on, which are like a dream.
However, when tramming down...
Do they fit non-sports, or do i need replica's?
Had a very good offer for 2 1*2 side skirts, but obviously i don't wanna buy em if they're not gonna fit.
Whereas i've also had a decentish offer for two replica ones, which i know will fit, but may aswell have the others if they're cheaper?
I know...

I know what it looks like and where it should be, i just can't find it. :/
Car's misfiring odd time, and i thought i'd take it off and give it a clean cause it'd doing my head in.
Took airbox off, and i can't see it.
Can anyone put me a few pics/video's up of how to do it?
Be much appreciated.
Thought at first it was grease/grime on the discs/pads but when painting my callipers i gave them a good clean and the noise is still there.
Its not there when i initially press the brake down, but more when i lift it back up.
It's kinda lead me to think it could be a suspension squeak?
As the...
Hi guys, before you say "read other threads", i've read a few, and got bored as they seemed unrelated, as this seems more of an electrical problem rather than car problem.
I've been using an unofficial iPod cable for 2 days, as my other one disintegrated.
Its fine, if not more practical.

Bird always calls me stupid when i point out a cliosport sticker on someone's car.
She'll appreciate it more when she's no longer a bus wanker. ;)
Anyway. It was a '10 plate non-sport as far as i know. (Not too familiar with the newer shape ones)

Still in the process of getting tyres for the alloys, cause i've had to fix other things.

Not keen on dangling wires, or the fact my iPhone wire looks like its straining to the point where i'll get a shock where the wires have bared.
Any solutions/ideas anyone with similar problem?
Hi, i'm having a few problems with my car.
9 times out of 10, it starts first time, but on the other, it'll just tick over and do nothing.

It needs sorting as soon as cause its embarrassing when it doesn't start...
