Electrical problems - Larry Stanley

Hey guys,

I have a 1.6 16 valve clio on 04 plate, a lot of the time all the electrical things will flicker and flash including headlights, wipers, hazards, indicators and all the dash lights. When this happens there is a lot of clicking from what I assume to be the relays. Any help on this would be great.

About me,

Thanks for your assistance !

This is usually caused by a sticking valve in the fuel tank.

It is easily resolved by vigourously warming the tubes you see leading from the tank to the front of the car with a blowtorch.

When the OP says

I have worked with multiple firms

what he should say is "I have spammed on multiple forums".
