2002 Renault Clio review from UK and Ireland
"Budget car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had this car since May 2007. Due to only passing my driving test in September, it was hardly used, although my mother and father used it to take it for grocery shopping every so often.
I noticed in September that the electrical fault light and pre-heater indicator on the car's computer kept coming on. When this happened I seemed to lose all the power of the car, with it decreasing in speed sometimes from 70MPH to 40MPH. It was as you can expect, very worrying.
I was wondering if anyone has had the same problems as myself, and could possibly tell me any steps they made to fix this problem?
I would ideally like to fix the problem myself, as being a student I cannot afford to spend mega money to have a car fixed, that I have owned for barely six months.
Before this problem happened the car was absolutely perfect, and I loved driving it. I still like the Clio, but this problem is now starting to become extremely annoying, and if this problem is not fixed immediately, I will be buying another car, and it will definitely not be a Renault!
General comments?
Nice car. Perfect for a couple or a young person to use, however the electrical problems seem extremely frequent.
