Clio 182.. Several problems lol.. Any help appreciated



  Clio 182 Cup
Afternoon all, I'm new to the forum.. Only had my clio about a month now, but its causing quite a few problems..Its just had its timing belt & vanos/dephaser pulley done, quite a job as I'm sure your all aware.. All the timing belt pulleys were done at the same time, but now it sounds as if one of the pulleys is starting to collapse, could be one of the ones that is driven off the alternator belt.. Was just wondering if the water pump is driven off the timing belt or not?My 2nd problem is my drivers side xenon, it went out 2 weeks ago, started flickering then just went out.. Comes on for 20 minutes here & their, still flickering, then goes out again.. Its not the bulb, but could possibly be the ballast pack, or dodgy earth, I've seen posts where people have had the exact same problem, but no solution? Anyone any ideas?My 3rd problem is my steering rack, when it starts to get near the end of full right lock, it gets very tight, as if their is a tight spot in the rack or the power steering stops working? Has anyone else had this problem before I buy a new rack? I've only presumed it could be a rack? But might be a power steering problem..My 4th and last are my brakes.. Their terribly poor, when I press the brakes next to nothing happens, stopping distance from 30mph is ridiculous.. I've had the brakes off, cleaned the pads & discs, both have a lot of life left in them. I also bled the brakes, but none of this made any difference.. Possibly a brake master cylinder? I'm puzzled..Any help would be much appreciated, Cheers David

You might get more assistance with your issues if you split it up into paragraphs to make it readable.

Sorry, 5th problem, my washer pump seems to have stopped working.. Does anyone know if theirs a gauze/filter that could have been blocked that just needs cleaned out? Or it it just the pump that's knackered, still makes the noise that its working? .. If so, does anyone know where I would get one, as I refuse to use the Renault dealer (Arnold Clark) as they are robbing b*****ds.. Can't seem to find any one Ebay, and from what I've read, it seems to be just a standard clio washer pump. Cheers again lol

The brakes should be razor sharp... its a French thing to over-servo them so if they're that bad you need it looking at properly and swift. Get whoever looks the car over to look at the rest of the snag list to.
