Hi, been looking at buying a Clio and have looked at a variety of cars from 2002 - 2006. Looking to spend no more than 4000. Found a 2006 55 plate campus sport 1.2 for just under 4k. Condition is very good, 2 owners, the last owner has had it for 18 months or so and put 20k on the clock (total mileage is 30K) but from the service book looks like they haven't had it serviced. It's had 2 services from the first owner (main dealer I think) but not for the last 2 years.
The garage is a well known name franchised dealership (not renault though) and they've had it a while now and have reduced it a few hundred quid. I'm not mechanically minded but it runs well, will come with a warranty, HPI clear etc. Best I've seen so far.... Read more
Personally speaking if the car looks and drives o.k. it is worth a punt.
I bought a 1994 Clio five years ago with service admittidly but in the five years we have owned the car it has covered 35,000 miles taking mileage to 111,000 approx and apart from routine service it has needed an alternator,four tyres and really at my insistance a new heater radiator....
My car won't start. When i try to the stater motor sounds good byut the engine won't start.. Already i have changed the distributer cap and rotor the coil and the ignition module. haven't tested for spark yet but before the module was changed there was one when the ignition was turned on.

Please advise on what I should be looking for at to be done for 54 plate jazz on its upcoming MOT and service. It had new brake pads last year, new spark plugs in 2008 and brake/clutch fluid in 2007. Is there anything else that is coming to the end of its life that should be renewed/replaced? I am 73 years old and do about 5000 miles per year. I would like the car to see me out. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thankyou.

Hi all ive just had four new tyres fitted by event mobile tyres and ive noticed there is no E marking on any of them, am i right in thinking under EU law these are illegal?,thanks Read more
No in-service requirement in the UK that I know of but ask the firm for an explanation.The E/e approvals are granted after seeing and checking samples of the tyres and also,possibly,more important,checking their manufacturing facilities and checking samples of their production,not just what was submitted to get the initial approvals.If you can't get a satisfactory explanation,take it up with Trading Standards.
Without entering into an inappropriate dicussion of why a particular person might need a new identity can anybody explain why it should be so costly?
"The Daily Telegraph reported ?????- who along with ????? ????? battered and murdered ????? ?????- will be issued with a new birth certificate, national insurance number and other identity documents at a cost of £250,000 when he is released"
A National Insurance number is free, how can anything else an individual might need truly 'cost ' £250,000... Read more
Didn`t several people get new identities themselves following reading a certain novel? I can`t remember anything about it other than - was it seaching for a grave to get a birth cert?

What are your thoughts on the stop/start technology cars. On a 2 mile journey into my local town I can easily stop 10 to 15 times, more during rush hour. It seems to me that there is considerable extra wear and tear on the starter motor, battery, flywheel gear ring, snatch on the cam belt/chain drive and many other systems which would be better contiuing to run smoothly rather than stopping and starting many times. I doubt the carbon savings are worth it from a cost and inconvenience point of view.

Read the handbook;on most cars with this feature,a number of controls need to in a set position for it to operate.Handbrake on on some-on others position of clutch pedal etc..As you say,it looks good in the adverts but makes little difference to the average motorist.
I guess this is a huge topic but I currently have a ford Focus 2009 1.8 style which I got about 6 months ago. Don't like it, the build quality is rubbish, it's got lots of creaks and rattles, it keeps losing power, and the road noise is worse than my old Fiesta.
So I want to change it. I wondered if anyone had any opinions re similar sized cars. Ideally I want to spend between 10000-11000, and I guess what matters most to me is a car that feels well put together and is quiet!... Read more
thanks for the advice - happy to receive any more too. I thought of the Golf as I 'd always heard they were well built but maybe less so from what you're saying?
