Just thought I'd say bye. I've grown up and bought myself an '03 Audi A4 1.9 TDi Sport in Black. Very nice motor. Cheers for any advice/help anyone's given me over my 2 years on here. In case anyone's interested I sold the Y reg 1.2 Clio Grande with 77k miles for £1k to a mate. I had it...

Ages ago my keyfob stopped working. The click had gone from the button and changing the battery didn't help. The spare had the same problem when I bought it but I didn't think much of it. No biggie. I just used to lock the car on the dash board button then lock the drivers door with the key...

Ok so I've got this problem with my dashboard or rear lights. When I have the lights on and I indicate right, the dash light for the rear fog light comes on faintly too. Also if you brake it sometimes comes on a bit. The actual fog bulb in the rear light cluster doesn't come on except when it's...

I needed a new battery for my keyfob so I bought 10 from eBay on the cheap. I they would last about 5 days then stop working so I just bought a duracell. This worked perfectly for over a week then it started to go wrong too. Some days I will come to the car and it will open in the morning, then...

Last night on the way home, I noticed a knocking noise coming from the suspension when I went over potholes or bumps in the road. It seemed to need to be bigger holes but it was there. Like a kind of loose metal and metal thud. What do you think this could be? The car 1.2 Grande and has done...

I think my engine's only running on 3 cylinders. It's only a 1.2 so I'm not expecting much but when I pull away from some lights or go uphill the engine really struggles. It seems to pull fine for a couple of secs but then it kind of stutters/shudders a bit and has no power. What could be...

I've got my MOT next week and I'm worried about my handbrake. A few months ago a brake shoe sheared off and wedged in my drum causing the left hand rear wheel to lock up. I replaced the shoes but the hand brake has never quite been the same since. Has anyone got any advice how I can...

As title says really. Over the last 500 miles or so I've been hearing a kind of knocking/creaking noise coming from most probably the front right hand side when travelling slowly. I can't quite pin it down to when it's going over bumps or turning or what?! Could it be the shock seizing...

My Clio 1.2 is randomly not starting. It's been doing it for a couple of weeks now. Usually it's first thing in the morning. I might turn the key and it'll just turn over but not start. This could happen a couple of times then it will just start instantly as if nothing is wrong. I don't...

I've been thinking about my tyre pressures in the cage recently. I've got wider than normal tyres on it. 195 instead of 165. Tyre pressure is such a black art. Some say, always stick with manufactures guidelines regardless of size of tyre. Some say, increase a bit, some say decrease a bit...

Just why? :rolleyes:

Yesterday my handbrake came up a lot more than it usually does. It will go on but you have to pull it up about 6" instead of 2". I have a 1.2 with drums :dapprove: on the back. I have a feeling that one of my handbrake cables may have snapped or come loose. This happened on my last car...

I bought the 1.2 thinking it'd be cheap on juice. :o I tend to get about £40 in the tank on a fill up and that lasts for anywhere between 300-330 miles if I'm using motorways = 35mpg but the other day I put £20 in and I've barely got 100 miles around town = 22mpg This seems pretty bad...

As the subject suggests. Sometimes when I'm braking, the light on my dash for the rear fog-light comes on. It kind of gradually gets brighter, never quite fully on, (like when the fog-light is actually turned on). It goes off straight away if I take the foot off the brake. It doesn't...

I bought my Clio in Dec. It's a 1.2 Grande 2001 and it's got 64k miles on the clock. Usually when I first set off on a journey if it's been sat for a while and I use the brakes, I get this kind of grinding noise. A bit like metal on metal. The brake pads have quite a lot left on them and the...

Hi guys, I'm new to the club. Hope to get lots of info out of you lot and contribute myself too. I got my Clio in early Dec. I've come from MR2's and they've got a really active forum so hoping to get some good info here too. I gave up cars last year and relied solely on my bike (CBR600) but...
