2002 Renault Clio Expression review from UK and Ireland
"Unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have looked after the car, having regular services.
When driving, the headlights flicker on and off, and sometimes go out completely on the motorway. I have had them checked on numerous occasions and every mechanic assures me they're fine.
I never had a problem with it starting until one morning when I thought it was the cold. Wouldn't turn over, then I thought might be battery - no. Took to the garage, and they managed to start; it made me look like a dumb woman. And it was fine for them until I picked it up, then it did it on the mechanic. He couldn't work it out, so said keep battling with it!! Lights and everything come on; just the engine won't come on. Does this frequently now when it feels like it; going to get rid!!!
My friend also bought a brand new Clio; 5 miles on clock and it did the same thing; an electrical fault??!!! Renault need to sort this problem!!
