Is this what is causing the a big clunking noise when I'm coming to a stop or turning sometimes?
I also get a lot of judder in the car on tickover. I'm guessing this is why...
With it being css I'm guessing not many will be but I'm wanting to have a look at this knocking issue I have got.
Its obviously there but garages just keep telling me, "its a Clio, they all do it" and leave it at that.
No, its not just a Clio, its my car and I don't want it knocking around when...
Mine is doing the same. Need someone to have a look ay it as I cant see anything. I have checked all the things that it could be but I'm probably looking straight past it.
Anyone about today? Can drive a few miles to get somewhere.
Or buy one that's close and have the engine shat itself and have no car at all :)
Decision, decisions. For the price, the arctic blue seems a good buy.
I don't believe you. There is nothing to move on to.
You've said it yourself. You will end up with another car you get bored of after a track day and buy another Clio.
Get it turbod and rape it.
Dephaser will rattle if its shat itself.
If the belts were done, make sure the dephaser was aswell, as its a belts off job to do it on its own anyway (in good practice)
Take it for a proper test drive. I.E taking it over 5-6k and testing all the gears. They tend to crunch between 3rd and 4th if...
If the belts have been done, offer him a cheeky 2k and take it from there.
Just make sure all the paperwork is there to back it up and look out for who done the work. Its pretty much a specialist job so don't just see its been done and take it as gospel.
Read a few stories on here to make sure...
Well you will be paying £600 to have it done so that's your choice. If you buy it for £2200 then you will be paying £2800.
Every 5 years, not every 5k :)
It wont be pushing 200bhp.
Check service history for aux/cambelt/dephaser work and who by.
If it hasn't been done, take £600 off the asking price.
Colour is nice, you will find better in the for sale section on here though.
