Renault Clio engine revs to high and hard to start

Check / clean idle control valve and throttle body .

thanks will do.

should have said before this fault earth strap broke so i made one up and put it on top of engine to iner wing then car went ok for a week.

Wouldn't do any harm to make sure your earth strap / cable from engine to inner wing valance is getting good clean connections .

thanks will double check the earth .

Do you have any warning lights on the dash? My daughter had a similar problem in her 2001 Clio. Inside the bonnet just under the drivers side headlamp is a vacuum unit, the top kept coming off causing a similar problem to what you describe. It's very difficult to get at but you should be able to push it back on. You may have to take it off for a long term fix as there is a rubber seal which holds it all together.
