Coilpack. Sounds and backfires like a Subaru, but goes like a 1.0.

Toxic Fume Warning Light constantly on
Broken front splitter
Paint/lacquer coming off the aircon unit on the centre console
Paint/lacquer coming off one of the wheel centre caps
Drivers seatbelt slow to rewind
Going to need a new exhaust very soon (still on the original - car is 8 years old)
Needs a good wash!
Might fix a few of the above soon for the next MOT, the other stuff (cosmetic problems) I will just live with. Going to run the car until it becomes economically not worth it!

Munday- that doesnt sound to bad mate, exhaust + few quid and elbow grease should see that right surely 
Clio 1.2
Cam belt long over due
full service
brake fluid hasnt been changed in 4 years
Pads and discs
Shoes
Drivers window doesnt draw power at all
Passanger front fog light is in the boot
Splitter came off in the snow with the foglight
Sunroof rattles and leaks
Adjust gear linkage
maybe a new engine mount
slow puncture on one corner
It's never ending the more work I do the more faults I'll find...

Strange that it had a regas just before I sold it the air con always worked ever since I owned it
Not so much whats wrong but the stuff that needs sorting.
Tracking.. track rod ends
Belts/dephaser
Disks/pads all round
Clutch
PAS leak
Needs a map or timing is out.
Booked in for disks/pads braided brake lines brake fluid tracking camber bolts track rod ends and belts/dephaser all next week. Going to rinse me out!!

Can hear the pump clicking but doesn't blow cold air out.

Nothing. She's a fcuking dream. Runs and drives sweet. Glad I didn't sell her now.

Shameless bump!!! Where to start?? Probably the aircon resistor packs gone again!! Second biggest worry is the exhaust hangers thats collapsed. One thing after another!
My rear exhaust hanger's f*cker as well, tbqfh it was f*cked 2 days after I bought it.
Then there's the intermittent starting issue, which i'm sure is a knackered relay,
I just haven't got round to sorting it yet.
Also despite everything being polybushed, i'm sure something is knocking around near the gearbox.
Also my airbag light is permanently on, it used to come on every now and again,
but jiggling the passenger seat connectors got rid of it, but that's not working anymore.
Then there's the entire interior that squeaks and rattles, but I don't really notice that anymore,
stereo drowns it out.
Oh and there's a weird metallic spinning noise that's related to acceleration,
but no one seems to be able to diagnose it.
I think the exhaust might be blowing too.

Clicking from rear brakes.
Whistling exhaust.
Keeps going into limp mode.

I'll never sell the dog kennel, it's like a pet.
The constant f**king rattles that are doing my head in.
Airbag light stays on.
Keep going into limp mode, which nobody can diagnose.
The rust that is starting to eat my arches.
Something that knocks when turning left.
Dents where someone vandalised it.
Front bumper wonky from where someone decided to drive into it. Thats probably it though, for now anyway.

Oh are we counting cosmetic damage then?
In that case, all the alloys are curbed to f*ck, every single panel including the roof has at least one pressure dent or scratch,
and the whole inside off the car is covered in dog hair and mud,
the bits that aren't covered in sh*te are covered in dust.
On the plus side the thing corners like a house fly and pins you in your seat when you stamp on the throttle,
so every cloud......

Phase 2 clio 172
Runs like a complete bag of s**t till its up to temperature.. Probably normal
alignment is out slightly
bonnet catch is fucked
headlights have misted up even after they were restored
rear fog light bulb on the dash cluster sometimes flickers when lights are on and I touch the brake pedal or indicate left
steering wheel needs new inserts
xenon washers don't work.. Motor makes a noise but no fluid
engine and box mounts are nearly dead
few scratches on bumpers
dents in doors from carparks
Mysterious crease in the roof just past the top of the windscreen
annoying badly repaired damage/slight dent in the d/s rear quarter
budget tyres from the garage I bought it from a month ago... Spoils the car completely
cant shut the drivers door with window down other wise it pops off the runner
slow puncture at the back
clutch pedal feels almost as if it has a dry joint, bit creaky
speedo drops every now and then, probably the sensor
thats it off the top of my head... Doesn't use any oil etc
few little issues but in my month of ownership I've grown to f**king love it n I think it's the b****cks!
Oh yeah and it's a Renault

Changed my washer jets yesterday... still no water coming out so guess I'll have to look into it further with the motor etc. hopefully I'll get a chance to do this before the MOT! Also need some new brakes all round basically, but when I get back from holiday they're the first thing on my list.

Rear right wheel bearing case is broken in two and just smushed together
Rear wheels need new spacers to bring them in 5mm so they stop hitting the arches
Exhaust hangers are f**ked
Need some new wiper blades
