horrible

Hi, I own a 57 plate Clio Campus Sport I-Music, and I had it Mot'd this year. The garage swapped out a part called the lambda sensor and ever since leaving the garage the car would jerk horribly when pulling through gears. Since I've left for university the car tends not to do it unless I've...

Hi, I just got a used Megane (110 hp) 30K miles, end of 2010 production. I did drive it a bit around town and noticed it spends a lot of fuel. That was not the least of my concerns as the first time i took a longer ride after about 25 minutes the car started loosing power (cutting off) and...

Hi all, I Have a 1998 Renault Clio MK II Phase I. I recently had the heater motor replaced as it was completely dead. Coincidentally, afterwards when I put my windscreen wipers on I noticed a horrible sound. When they operate, they sound really stiff and almost as if they are pressing right onto...

Hi all, I have a W reg 1.6 scenic and was wondering if anybody has any advice!

Hi. My 07 LWB Trafic van started making a really loud banging noise from the engine about 2 weeks ago. I took it to my local garage who changed the tappits and swapped the fuel injectors around (?) No joy. The mechanic said he doesn't know what it is. If anyone has any ideas or have...

Help :confused: I jumped in to my Husbands Car this Morning and when i turned on the Engine (03 Laguna 11 1.6 petrol) it made a horrible noise like a lawnmower or an aircraft, it seems to be coming from the belt on the Drivers side or around that side. The timing belt and water pump was changed...

Clio Sport 182 2002 model drives fine at low speeds but when accelerating through about 55 mph (90kmkh) a horrible shaking starts and continues until speed is around 70mph when it stops. Have had wheels balanced but problem persists. The shaking is not through the steering but like the whole of...

My Car has had a horrible noise as it starts it sounds like the starter motor - but I recently took it into my local dealer for a service (foolish me) they said it was to do with the cam belt which needed changing (£600 please !!) but the cam is a chain, which can just be tightened. They said it...

I was driving home from work yesterday morning in my 52 plate Laguna II. There was a horrible noise comming from the engine like a "clunk" and the whole car started to judder as though the car was jumping or the wheels decided to spin. I work for a coach company, and one of the fitters had a...

I've got a feeling this could be an expensive problem - but any advice before I take it to the "experts" may be useful. My steering has started to make an awful groaning noise when I turn left or right. It passed it's MOT a couple of months ago so I assume this is something they would not have...
