    I have a Clio 1.2 rn model and it has been sitting in my drive for the past 3 months and started it up today and my brake pedal when pushed it sounds like I'm pushing air and the brakes don't work, plus my clutch pedal is very stiff but its not clipping or anything? do anyone know the problem?

    Did you go for a drive to check the brakes? Probably just a bit stiff from sitting around.

    Get the car looked at by a qualified mechanic. You should not be driving it around until it's checked over. You dont know what has happened to the car over 3 years that could make it unsafe.


    That is the best advice you should take away from here

    Listen ye unto him. You don't want to be taking chances or pulling fast ones with brakes unless you know exactly what you're doing.

    I agree with almost everything except the 3 years part;)

    The car was sitting idle for only 3 months...
