Whats wrong with your car right now??

[flat-eric]

Dephaser noisy
Squeaky drivers seat
A/C don't work
Lumbar support broken
Wheels need refurbishment!!!!

 

[shandyruss]

Dephaser pulley, timing belt cover, top engine mount and air con! Hopefully Rentech will have it squared away by Thursday night!!! Awesome chaps!

 

[DaveDreads]

Mine seems to have developed a metallic rattle, it sounds like an exhaust gasket to me,
as it goes away once the car/exhaust heats up.

 

[PP200t]

Mines got the same but it's the dreaded 3k rattle. and nothing appears loose!!

 

[Sash]

Serviced the chocolate bar last week and found the inner CV boot was shot, so been and replaced that today. Took all the wheels off and re balanced them, the offside rear was showing as 130g out :O ! Think someone had taken the tyre off and replaced it about 45 degrees out of where it came off and never bothered to rebalance it! Drives much better now.

 

[bright]

exhaust blowing. we obviously did a crap job sealing it when we put it on. bah.

also not sure whether the track rod ends are knackered as had the tracking adjusted and not sure if ita gone out again with normal driving (no big bumps) don't really want to pay £20 to have it checked if theres nothing wrong :/

 

[Coops Mk1]

exhaust manifold to head blowing, or could be turbo to downpipe, not sure which

needs brake overhaul including new front pads, new fluid and rear brakes completely stripping and refurbishing, also probably needs a new rear brake bias valve

needs more boost too, not strictly a problem, but I feel the need for more power! lol!

 

[gav78]

the warning light came on( its rectangle with zig zags in the middle) it wouldnt let me rev the engine over 3000rpm???????

 

[Maccy]

Car produces a small squeaking sound when accelerating, braking or going over speed bumps. So annoying!

 

[Rob]

It's a BMW, so nothing.

 

[George182]

Pretty much spot on ATM.

(it's not turboed yet, sigh)

 

[Coops Mk1]

It's a BMW

 

[Rob]

You could work in the media with quotes like that. :butt:

 

[Coops Mk1]

hehe, sorry, its was an immature and totally misguided comment, but i'm weak and can't resist a pointless troll

 

[Rob]

No offence taken, with three french cars you had to do something to try and make yourself feel better about this thread

 

[JacK_90]

touché sir, a fine riposte although i'm down to 2 now, the Williams left me ages back, just yet to update!

for my sins it may be accelerating up to 4 soon however....... I think I should seek some counselling

 

[Westyfield2]

Since I folded down the seats a couple of weeks ago, I've got a rattle when going over bumps. It's from the rear somewhere, and I think is on the drivers side. Starting to annoy me now .

 

[Goodj]

Rust bubbles on the sills and arches.

standard issue 5 problem

 

[devilsadvocate]

Nothing wrong with mine (touch wood)

 

[.Ben.]

Nothing wrong with the car (it's a VAG), however, last week a female mong dented the front n/s wing while trying to park.

Bolt-on wing from a breaker's - £40. 20 minutes later - like new again!

 

[Danith]

Nothing now. So in my wisdom after sorting it, I'm selling it. Maybe there's something wrong with my brain.

 

[Hunty2009]

Exhaust needs re-mounting ..... Steering wheel retrimming (MAJORLY ANNOYING ME)

 

[Ray Gin]

Yozza is blowing slightly, needs steering aligned.

 

[birdhead123]

a new centre section so i can put my back box back on. waiting for payday tho as always. getting a headache at the min from the noise :banghead:

 

[Ant16]

Epic hole in the centre pipe got a replacement on order.

 

[Martyn-172]

Ant16 that looks a tad fooked

 

[len_beach]

Sporadic ABS light.

Polycarb rear windows falling out due to being supplied with standard silicone last week rather than proper bonding agent.

 

[devfuse]

Epic hole in the centre pipe got a replacement on order.

LOUD?? lol

 

[devfuse]

Just had my new engine put in all good aprat from i have a tapping/clicking noise when i accelerate cant pin point where the sound comes from. Only happens when you drive along, starts at 2krpm tho it disappears if you hover at 2k for abit.

 

[Ade182]

Needs new dephaser/cam belt/aux belt/etc & clunking from the front end under slow maneovers. Oh and a roof respray.

Best get saving up!

 

[Ant16]

Martyn-172 - yeah you're telling me! ha and devfuse...yeah just a tad! Can't wait for my replacement to turn up! Hopefully on Monday!

 

[Jonny_wilk]

Timing belt
16 valves
Head gasket set
Aux belt
O/s driveshaft
3 tyres
Front strut tops
Track rod ends
Bottom arms
Dog and bone mount
Exhaust hangers.

So overall the clio is in pretty good shape. The garage won't releived me of to much money haha.

 

[GiT]

MOT in December will need an Exhaust for the limo-beast. So it'll get a JP Exhaust for that me thinks lol.

Few very minor body issues - could do with a front bumper respray, side skirts redoing and a small drivers door crease solving.

Other than that - sod all!

 

[cliokam]

Lovely crack in my sump :/

 

[sbridgey]

So where do I start...


My exhaust is stupidly loud.
I have no way of washing the windows/headlights.
ESP/ABS/SERV lights come on randomly.
The brakes squeal at low speeds.
The front right TRE is f**ked.
My tyres squeal when taking a corner with any kind of reasonable speed.
My white wheels have engrained brake dust.
My car seems slow and can barely pull away from 1.6l "warm hatches".

So only a small list of issues, but at least it has stopped drinking water.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

front right tyre is fuburd ( positive camber :/ )

horn not working

and injectors playing up AGAIN

 

[ghostvan]

Needs a wash grey instead of white
Seat airbag lights. Lol

 

[Rodg241]

Nothing could just do with a turbo slapping on it I need boost

 

[BoatNonce]

It's never warm when I get into it. I need Runlock.

Oh, and it's never parked close by when it's pissing down with rain.
