• Renault Clio II - Broken seat handle 17 Feb 2011 (Forum)
  Hi, not sure what the technical term is but basically the handle that you lift on the top of the passenger seat has failed. You lift the handle and It is some sort of metal wire that runs down to the bottom of the chair to spring it forward. There seems to be some fault in this mechanism

  I do realise that this is probably failing oil rings allowing diesel oil into the sump. What can I do to alleviate this. Isuzu engine has only done 80000 miles but lots of stop n start. I put full synth 5-40 in, would it be any better running mineral oil?
