Car has taken a couple of times to start recently.
Then, after sitting at idle with radio, fan, lights on in the que for red bull air race (FOR 7 HOURS!) i found that the battery was completely dead the next time i started the car up. Wont even turn the engine over.
Do i just need jump leads...

Wiring loom to connect Sony Head units to renault cars.
Used in a Year 2000 / V-reg renault clio with a sony head unit.
Amplifier switching wire requires new end to be crimped on.

Just taken it out of my car. Can't use it on the bike ;)
BUMP!
Just tried to update my Speed Camera Locations and the PocketGPS website now wants a £20 a year fee. balls to that.
Anyone know any other sites that do speed cam locations for Garmin i3!!??
Its not harsh. If you can't afford it, you can't have it.
Though no-one seems to realise that these days!
Insurance is there to protect other people as much as yourself. If someone hits me and puts me in a wheelchair i want to know they've got insurance to pay for my medical bills.
This...
You're lucky this bloke is willing to sort it without getting insurance companies involved.
I wouldnt trust a stranger to fix my car potentially costing £1000's. Its hard enough getting a normal insurance or warrenty payout, so having to trust someone you've never met to hand over a large wad...
Just a suggestion on proper selection of lube... if you're going to lube some sort of tight orafice that isn't in regular use; i always find it best to use some sort of grease... it won't be as dry. ouch.
Products like WD-40 are light oils and will clean the surface and dispell water but the...
Yeah, conked out ont he way to work and then wouldn't start. I was never going to go back to that garage, but i called them and they said they'd look at it for free this time!
I insisted a mechanic came out to take a look and he turned it over... wouldn't start. He flicked the ignition on and...
Saw you picking your car up. would have popped over and said hi but the RAC man was had just removed my car from his truck and i was too busy worrying that my car wouldn't get sorted. lol
sorry... is it just a case of unscrewing and fitting the new one... will coolant piss out everywhere???
also will it need some PTFE tape or similar on the threads to make the correct seal?
will torque matter, or can i spanner it?
Cheers

car keeps cutting out... normally starts again but today it was having none of it...
poked this connector and it moved a bit, bit of movement as i pushed on it, then it was solid as a rock. after that car started straight away
so hopefully this has been...
Re: lol... non RS clios heaps of sh*t!
This is what i'm getting at... all of a sudden i have no interest in my car :(
Can see how i thought it was fun, but really its not! A step on the ladder i suppose, and i won't be sad to see it go when the time comes!
Re: lol... non RS clios heaps of sh*t!
Oh by the way i'm completely sympathetic to that, i have a 1.4 myself remember.
I was honestly thought my car handled fairly well for what it is but driving the 182 has "moved the goal posts" a bit. IMHO the brutally honest fact is that these small...
Re: lol... non RS clios heaps of sh*t!
damp roundabout, go in enthusiastically, can get understeer, can lift off and tease oversteer.... or thats what i thought - now it just seems sloppy compared to the 182; which turned in and held the line beautifully.
maybe you have alloys/wider wheels...
Re: lol... non RS clios heaps of sh*t!
why? discussion forum isnt it. i used those words to get people involved.
i had my eyes opened. i'm amazed how great the difference is.
i was amazed it took so long for someone to dis-agree.
What mods have you done to your car?
Re: lol... non RS clios heaps of sh*t!
hmmm i'm not convinced that anything could save it, and i'm not willing to spend the money trying, and end up looking like a nob at the same time. (no offence to those with max'd motors, just not my thing).
know what people mean about the fly by wire throttle though, might just be how its sprung as well as the minute hesitation (though when at high revs pretty responsive no hesitation)... and if you turn the key too fast in the ignition theres a slight delay... and i kept setting the alarm off my...
Was insured on nice 05 liquid yellow 182 over the bank hol weekend. Did a couple of hundred miles including a run to avebury and cheddar gorge. Bloody nice car, always felt quick as a passenger but it wasn't until I was able to do the accelerating off roundabouts onto dual carridgeway thing (and...
