Also check the fuel pump connector under the rear seat. It a high-current connector; the slightest contact problem there will result in fuel pump issues. Use some contact cleaning spray on the terminal contacts.

i will do, i am really considering getting rid!i want a clio sport but that would mean finance and i dont really want to do that!
i dont no what to do, maybe it has done to many miles? or would that affect it?

its a 10 year old car, expect the unexpected bill !

ive spent a lot this past 8 months, the first 2 months were crap. nearly sold it and moved on.

glad i didnt, stick with it, there isnt a car in its age/price bracket that comes close.

If i was to get rid of the mk1 clio i would't go for a similar car in a new clio, i'd go for something rwd, jap and turboed

i dont no what to do, maybe it has done to many miles? or would that affect it?I don't think the clio had a reliable electrical design to start with. So, as it ages, contact oxidation/corrosion becomes a problem. Especially with corrosive winters in UK. Fortunately, they are quite easy/cheap to fix once you know where the problems are (usually earthing points, fuse/relay area or high-current terminal contacts). It happens on most other cars as well in varying degrees.

I couldn't justify keeping mine if things went wrong all the time, there has to be a limit (plus I couldn't afford all the bills!) Luckily it's been reliable.....touch wood.....only an electrical fault so far which was easily fixed.
