• Renault Clio 1 Petrol RT 1.4 - Misfire and general roughness 18 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  the computer (i presume) bumps it back up to 1200. It then repeats, and sounds very much like the engine is about to die. Ive recently done an oil change, changed the air filter and fuel filter, which has improved it EVER so slightly, but its still doing it. I took the plugs out to check the gaps

  So, 18 months on, and 10,000 miles on, still very satisfied with the venga. Routine servicing with annual oil changes so far and no problems except for one weeping shock absorber, no doubt down to the state of our roads. Fuel consumption mostly around here about 35 is, 40 on a "run

  Just bought an 11-month old Alhambra, with 7.5K on the clock, currently on long-life servicing. Diesel 2.0/140 engine.  Should I give it an oil change immediately and move onto fixed servicing intervals, or let it run in for a bit more? We won't be doing many miles over the next few

  My wife travels about 3.5K miles a year only. Mostly reasonably local travel. The car has always received full servicing at the main dealer. It is about time I did a bit for her.

• Leaky shock absorbers 2 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  Anyone know much oil a shock absorber contains, and how much could it lose before its effectiveness is compromised? One of my front shocks has a slight leak but its not of immediate concern according to the tyre fitting workshop staff this morning. Do I change it now or get it done at MOT time
