    Car not starting

    That’s for the reply. The engine started after the brakes were changed, the battery was ok at that point, but the brakes still felt quite stiff on the peddle.

    Engine management light

    Hi, Sorry if there's an older thread I should have used, I'm just getting to grips with the site. I have a Clio 197, everything was running fine until last week. I got the engine management light come on with the message "check emissions". I had a mate of mine plug in a diagnostics kit and...
