I have the same problem with my 1.1 Clio 04. When I tried to start the car last night, I had the same problem. Tried it a few times and was then told by my friend I might have 'flooded the engine'. I left it overnight and tried again this morning. It sounded like it struggled but the engine rolled and I managed to get to work this morning and it ran fine. Not looking forward to it letting me down later on the way home. Is this a case for the garage?

Great thread:-)
