Hi all, I've got an 02 Clio 1.2 16v which has developed an intermittent ignition problem - sometimes the engine will turn over for ages before firing up, other times when I turn the key, absolutely nothing happens. However, if I keep trying, eventually the car starts. I've taken it to an independent garage who diagnosed an electronic fault, however it's been to a Renault garage twice since who cannot find a problem. Any ideas?
I have the same problem with my Clio. I once called the Green Flag to have a look at it and there was a loose wire going upto the starter motor. I have not had a chance to take it into a garage yet, but what i find is that if at any point your engine does not start, lift the bonnet and just move the wire leading to the starter moter a little...This usually works for me!
