Hi all, I've had the starter motor off this morning and tested the solenoid and motor using jump leads on the clios battery. The solenoid clicks across and the motor turns. I've got 12v at the 13mm nut the holds the +ve lead on from the battery. I've also got 12v when I turn the key at the...

I managed to bump start the car today and it bumped off fine. Theres also another problem now though as its now idling at 3000rpm!! I'm yet to check the connectors etc on the starter motor but they are quite badly covered in oil. Plus its raining yet again :( Any ideas why its idling at 3000...

Will try these few suggestions when it's day light! The other night when I went out it was dark and then decided it wanted to absolutely throw it down! I think I understand about the key boldswede. I'm thinking it a stuck starter though by the symptoms.

But if it was the battery would it not jump off when jump leads connected to another car? Unless the battery is decided to totally pack in??

boldswede what do you mean by holding the key at different angles? Will it not only go in the ignition at 2 angles due to the way the key goes in? I'm confused?!? I've got some more info as of tonight: -I've replaced the batteries in the key. This did not make a difference. -The...

I thought the battery in the remote was just for the remote central locking?? I have a similar starting problem and the light does not light up on my key. I just noticed but the remote locking did not work anyway.

Hiya Everyone, I have a T reg 1.2 8v. It started fine yesterday but I came out to it this morning nothing at all. I tried to jump it off using another car but the car does not even turn over. With the jump leads on or not. At first I thought the battery must of had it but the dash lights...

I'll try the simplest idea 1st then c if that works. I cannot tighten the motor up as it's a manual sunroof but I suppose I cud do the vaseline idea. Would the vaseline not perish the rubber tho? Need to get this sorted as when it does leak it more than leaks it pours outs all over my...

Cheers for the info people. Will have a look at the seal take it out etc n then if that fails take the roof lining down. Cheers again

I have a K reg 1.4 Clio RT. I'm currently doing work on it to get it back on the road. Every week I start it up and drive it down my driveway to keep the brakes ok etc. I went down my driveway today and brakes hard and water came pouring out of the front of the roof lining down my windscreen...

What turbo engine you got in there?

Nice pics mate, the clios look awesome lined up on the edge of that hill! That GTE looks ace, it's good when people look after their old cars so well.

I tried doing my torsion bar the other week and it was seized to hell! If it's seized am I better taking it to some where specialist to have it done or just keep trying myself?

I have a K reg 1.4 RT clio and mine has the immobiliser in the glove box. They are standard arn't they as I only found out about mine when I read the owners manual!

Yeah the wheels looks so much better in white!! Does that mean your selling the black turbines?
