So, not trusting the recovery guy completely, I ordered a voltmeter and have just tested the battery - low and behold it is registering only 10.5V which I believe is lower than it should be (12V?). The battery is the original (from 08 so pretty good run!) but has limited information on it. Is...

Sorry for the stupid question but where would I test the starter voltage? Across the starter motor connections? Where are they? :think: Yep he checked battery posts.

Thanks Siliconsteve. I got a recovery guy out and we have definitely ruled out a bad battery as it is giving around 15V - sods law the bloody thing started perfectly when he was there! Drove it for half an hour and then stopped and tried restarting it again - nothing! Not even an attempt to...

I managed to take a video of it playing up: https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=mHbZeiHHXUI The lights and all other electrics run fine - could it do this even with a slightly dud battery? I've ordered a multimeter so hope to try out the connections across the battery.

Thanks! Will try that out!

Thanks all! Unfortunately she needs a few bits of work doing but that at least gives me a chance to get my hands dirty and strengthen my mechanic skills! :D

Thank you!

Hey all! Been on the forum for about a year but never posted in here to say hi! Here is a picture of my 197 RS that I took the other day at night :D

I drove my Clio 197 RS back from the airport (about 70miles) no problem on Saturday. Later that day I then tried to drive it somewhere else but it wouldn't start. The lights just kept flashing on and off as if it was trying to start the starter motor but couldn't. I've managed to get it started...

Antti - I have exactly the same clutch squeak although haven't been able to figure it out yet either!

Very delayed response and sorry admins for reviving this post but I thought it may be useful for future people! Wiper stalk was actually relatively straight forward to remove (just need to be careful to disconnect the wires around the unit before you yank too hard!). I tried out a couple of...

Hey all, I used to use Mick at Diamond Motors up in the East Midlands and he was really good. Looking for another good Renault specialist close to Reading as I think I need a bit of work doing to my 197. Can anyone recommend anything reasonably close?

Hello! I'm new to the forum! I have an '08 197 clio RS (will hopefully post some pics here soon :thumbup:). The buttons on the end of the wiper stalk seem to no longer work so I can't change display. I suspect this will also cause problems when I take it to get serviced and they won't be able...
