I've gone all warm inside...

Lovely car. Shame about the owner.

Most specialists on here (I know, I checked) are cheaper for belt changes than the average garage. My local garage (been using him around 10 years, trust him implicitly) just looks on autodata and charges £35 an hour for however many hours autodata says. Book time on a 172/182 for both belts...

The original engine dropped a valve, so they fitted a new* engine and didn't bother to renew the belt kits? *the cheapest they could find on ebay

Sorry my bad. I just looked at your username and it says your car is a 1.2 clio. I was being presumptive. (it clearly didn't work!) In that case, buy a 1.0 Micra/corsa. Christ, i'd even look at a 700cc daewoo or something! As soon as you've got 1 years no claims at 18, your insurance will...

When I was 17, we used to find out what was the cheapest car to insure and then buy one. Rather than buy a car then try to find cheap insurance.

Grumpy chip is grumpy.

I'd try a new battery first. Dying batteries play havoc with that era of megane/scenic.

A dirty ph2 though?! Ph1 is where it's at warren.

Just fit a cat. Easiest cheapest option and less hassle at MOT time.

Diesel on the road?

I really REALLY like that!

That gives me a hardon. My perfect Impreza.

If i was you, new cup shocks and cooksport springs. Best mix for primarily road use and occasional track use imo.

I've still no idea where that is or even if it's still alive. :( Good work though coops, can't beat a mk1! (well, you can, but you know what I mean)

It's in Wales it will be rusty.

Daniel didn't say that, because it's Renault Wolverhampton. ;)

It's a renault dealer and they're a member on here.

I've got one of these. Worth every penny. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/U480-Universal-OBD2-CAN-BUS-Fault-Code-Reader-Scanner-diagnostic-scan-tool-UK-/321360042220?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item4ad28d18ec

Wtf??

Slow down cowboy. How did you ruin your current units? Why can't they be repaired?

£99?? Blimey that's cheap.

Ph1 172's have a speedo sensor plugged into the top of the gearbox. Open the bonnet, look at the gearbox and it's at the back by the bulkhead. If it's been in there a while you will need some spinach before you pull it but it's just a case of pull it out, put new one in. Easy to replace and...

If the discs and pads are ok, just fit a second hand caliper and carry on with life.

Re: How Much is my Ph1 worth? That's a right shitter. Bloody lovely car other than that. It will sell easily i'd have thought.

Re: How Much is my Ph1 worth? In the 3rd pic down, is that a massive dent in the rear wing?!

I had (admitedly only crappy pioneer ones) coaxials in the doors and Factory tweeters on the dash and the sound was proper harsh.

Scrape off the loose crap, paint it all with rust neutraliser, let it cure overnight, cover with Aluminium tape, trim it down as much as possible. Done. Will look tidier than a bodged filler repair.

She'd better be hot...

Cheers mate.
