I have a renault clio 51plate.
Its had a new battry only for about 4months.

Most of the time it just wont catch. Il have to keep turning the key and reving the accelerator, normally about 3-4 times before it starts. (however sometimes more)

After I get it started the first time (in the morning) its usually OK for the rest of the day and catches on the first or second time.

It is worse in the cold.

Another problem is: about once every week - ten days, it wont even turn over. When turning the key it just clicks. I have to keep turning the key over and over and over in quick succession until eventually after up to 20 times the key turns over... and then the car starts...

Is this one and the same problem?

any suggestions for a cause?

any suggestion for the price to fix it?

Thnx in advance.

I have tried the cleaner called invisible glass from stoner and it didn't seem to work at all. I also am tired of surfing the net and reading websites that boast they are the best. I want to hear from some real people. Thank you.

Is there a quick fix to trade it in w/o telling the dealer? I heard that you can crack an egg and put it in the radiator and this will help hide the problem. I dumped about 4 teaspoons of black pepper in the radiator in order to get it home. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Here's how it goes. I drive my car - say to the store, or to work. I turn it off and go inside, come back out anywhere from a half hour to two hours later and the car won't start. No turn over AT ALL. It's NOT the battery. Everything turns on - fans, lights etc. It's just that Last click of the key - it has no response in the car.

Mechanics are all baffeled by this (I've spent over a thousand dollars on it now). None of them can git it too happen so they can't properly diagnose it.

It's NOT the starter - I had it replaced.
It's NOT the egnition. Had that replaced too. I also recently got a tune up.

Here's what I think now - it's some kind of overheating problem. Usually when it won't start I open the hood and fan it for anywhere from ten minutes to an hour and then it will start.
There is nothing else wrong with this car - I love it. Here's another thing - it NEVER happens between October and April. It only happens in the summer months.

Good Luck!

Problem: Gas Mileage

The problem I have is that when I take the mower to the gas station and ride back I can only mow for a few mintes because I only have enough gas to ride back to the station for more gas. I called John Deere and they don't sell a larger tank, I make sure the tires are filled up and the oil is changed to get the best mileage. I thought about putting in my truck but it's too big...it's 25 HP! Sometimes when I've over mowed I only make part way to the station before it runs out...so I have it down that I can mow for 7 minutes before I have to get more gas...it takes numerous trip just to cut my grass.

any suggestions
