2002 Clio 172
Last weekend I drove my Clio 182 20 miles no problem, parked up ran a few errands, jumped back in and it started up fine, but whilst turning the car around it seemed like the engine was bogging down and I nearly stalled the car because the revs wouldn't pick up like normal, this problem went away after about 3-4 seconds and everything seemed fine again. Drove it approx 50 miles no issue, at a friends bbq for several hours, get back in no issues driving home so I forgot all about it.
Today I get in turn the key, dash lights up as usual, I wait for most of the lights to go out as usual (a habit from driving diesels) then turn the key to start the car and all electrics seemingly cut out, all dash lights go out and car doesn't respond to turning the key on or off. The car is now completely dead, get out of the car, can't lock it or unlock it etc. Disconnect the battery (which is reading 12.7 V by the way) and reconnect it and its "fine" again. Can lock the car etc. get back in turn the key, the dash lights up.... go to start it and everything cuts again. This is repeatable....
Any ideas guys?
