Bottom one will be Cat C/ D, minor bump to wing usually means its been through a hedge backwards. On its roof.

Just make sure they use genuine parts, I know everyone says they do but most don't. That because most have a much lower labour rate and charge less for the oil, the spark plugs though are £67 + vat!!

You would be better off not bothering at all, they will put the wrong oil in.

Parts are oil, oil filter, sump washer, particle filter and spark plugs. First service is £226 Inc.

I work for Renault aftersales, and according to Renault the aux belt doesn't need changing till 72k on a 197. I have just looked up a 36k on a 197 and it comes to £380 INC parts labour and vat.

Air bag/ serv light will be the wiring under the passenger seat, may need a wiring repair. The internal temp will be a faulty sensor, the sensor is a small nipple on the underside of the passengers door mirror, replace that and see how you get on. Not a clue on the fan. Where abouts are you...

They aren't selling at the moment, assuming you've had the belts done you might get £2.5k for it. I can't even get anyone round to look at my phase 1!

Looks nice but the elephants arse effect dashboard and c**k-in-a-bucket gearbox put me off somewhat. Clio has its flaws aswell though, deckchair seating position, steering wheel dimensions taken from an offshore trawler anyone?! At the end of the day they are both cheap french hot hatches.

PM'd.

I ve just looked up the cambelt its definatly 5yrs/ 72k. According to the Renault's own system the aux belt is on the same interval WTF!

Bid him in the b****cks, standard rule is to go in at half and work your way up from there LOL! He won't get £3.8k for it, I was being generous on £3k and that was only considering the spec, its a very early one.

AG engine and machine cleaner and some autosol for the metal work.

I ve been looking at these recently too... He is having a laugh at 4 grand on that mileage even if it is 'tropical orange' which incidently appears to be rare for a very good reason! Thats not worth a penny more than £3k.

Every 12k or a year whichever comes first, I will check the interval tommorrow on the belt, im 99% sure its still 5yrs/ 72k but we haven't done one yet.

Sticking throttle body? Wiring to ecu chewed through at back of engine? TDC sensor? Coolant temp sensor? Needs to go on a diagnostic to confirm really.

They were probably checking it as part of the Renault 25 point check.

I sold my 1992 K Mk1 Clipper cab for £1500 earlier this year, that only had 113k on it though and did have 12 months mot.... Thats got to be worth £1k-1200 with a years ticket.

From my current autotrader ad lol, I had the same idea!

£304 is a good price for the 36k at Renault but I bet that doesn't include the aux belt.

Agreed. LY FTW, the colours great too.

£700ish

Good two car combi! 172 is like driving a barge after the mini!

We've sold an LY one, and have a white showroom car on the way (yawn). Mine would be cup spec, Ultra Red, Black Speedlines, Aircon, Recaros, Done. Im tempted... Drove a 197 today, my phase 1 felt like a 200k piece of dog s**t on the way home.

Mint, I ve got one too! Love it!

As said cambelt should have been done, its cheaper on the 8v's. Common problems are: Key faults -replacement key required Rear exhaust mounts split/ perish Anti roll bar bushes split/ perish Coil packs go, I would just stick a new coil on it almost as a service item. Throttle bodys sometimes...

I expect some hero previous owner has taken the fuse out.

Mint, I would be going for an oem+ look, euro is overplayed these days, would love to have a MK1 again.

Hello mate, Welcome to CS, you might have seen me about (Titanium Phase 1, private plate A15***). Yours racing blue or arctic blue? Let me know if you need any parts/ servicing doing I work for Westover and we do a discount for Renaultsport owners on parts and labour. Cheers, Alex

Recaro's are p0rn! Missed oppurtunity imo not getting them. I also think £850 is a decent price too.

Radio/ CD is standard even on the cup.
