Does Anyone Know Anything About Me Mothers Renault Clio?

Any old how she left the door not quite shut and the interior light stayed on and drained the battery, so I went round an jump started it.

Any how straight away as soon as the engine started the revs shot up to 3 thousand, I bollocked our Myrtle who started it up for revving the taties off it an she ant even touched the accelerator pedal.

We took it fer a spin to get a bit of a charge in the battery an stopped off at the sosidge shop the tickover stayed at 3 thou, when I restarted it the revs went up to 2 thou. So I came home stopped the engine an restarted it, the tickover was normal about 1100.

So wot I need to know is, is this normal after a flat battery, is there something fiednishly clever in the engine that automaticaly raises the tickover if the charge in the battery is a bit low. Is the automatic choke on its way out, or is there summat else to worry about.

i fink yu gorra ex F1 injun in the Clio.

I tried playing a tune on it like on Top Gear but it want having it.

definately not flodded?

aint that a mushroom?

damn small key board and i is ****e at typing!!!

Assuming it is a petrol engine the throttle MUST have been stuck open a bit, but open just a little would give it 3k revs in neutral.

I think you ned to work on the theory that the throttle cable or pedal pivot need some WD40 or the like.

wot colour is it?

Am sure I posted the model an year. Any how it's 2000 and injection. An it want the throttle stickin cos I checked that fost. An it's green.

green rainknows int good

Reet, green cars are the biggest problem according to ABI, but if it's owt like me Megane, flat battery plays havoc with electrickery and take a few days to settle down. Mine went flat, leccy winders wouldn't work, service light was on and auto lights an auto windscreen wipers were working in random mode.

Froggy 'lectrics - just look at the mess they made of the A380...

it's fookin french ffs. whadyer eggspect - predictable behaviour?
