My brothers clio was like a patch work quilt, theres a fair few snotters out there.

Lol I lent my brother the phase 1 today, half expected him to total it.

LOL top man.

£45 for just a clip test. The diagnostic charge almost always relates to one hours labour charge unless its something minor like a window stuck down etc.

My 172 is actually the most unreliable car i ve ever owned, however its so good to drive I will continue to plough money in to it, to be fair i ve only had a few minor issues in it accross 6k, my 1.2 on the other hand was faultless. I work for a main dealer and 80% of the vehicles we have in...

Its out of manufacturers warranty, the warranty you have is an extended warranty prob with the likes of motorcare. They will pay for the cost of the repair but they won't pay the diagnostic charges, the diag charges are normally 1hrs labour. The exhaust won't be covered.

Almost certainly the key. You got a spare key you can try?

LOL! I expect I will have 10 cars before then Im picking up a new car on Friday and I can't sleep!

Your stripping out a 197 cup?! Brave man, thats an expensive car to start tearing apart.

Can't replacement keys be ordered up to key number Brun?

Seems a good deal that.

^^^^^ Tyssen's snatch?!

I only get 32-33mpg out of my phase 1 with only a slightly longer trip, a good service should sort her out.

I would't entertain less than £2.5k for mine (2000 W/ 66k), having looked at loads you need to go for the more expensive ones if you want anything near mint.

Looks mint that, I like, sorry to hear about the redundancy.

Whats the mileage on it? The 1.2's aren't very consistent, mine had just turned 60k with regular servicing, belt change etc, pulled 100mph in 4th was loose as anything and free revved up to the limiter in anything but 5th. My mates 04 plate with 15k on the clock at the time was slower than...

Yep. Had the n/s drive shaft seal changed, had a selector seal kit. I think it still leaks gearbox oil. Its not a great gearbox anyway, worst bit in the car imo, its on the same level as the 'box in my old J reg astra, much prefer the gearbox in my Zetec S.

Autotrader. Put car on at 7pm last night, deposit taken lunchtime today.

It wouldn't be listed as anything unless your wrote it off and bought it back. I would just get it serviced at Renault the £40-50 you may save on the 12k isn't worth the hassle if you have anything major go wrong within the warranty period.

LOL @ Turner, top form as usual!

Lol this smells of a second account, IP address check please Mr fUbAr?

I ve got a Fiesta Zetec S you can have for less than 3.5k. 1 previous owner, yr 2000 W plate, 34k! Minty mint in silver, pm me if interested.

50%?! I would put money on it not being a like for like quote. I expect they are using non genuine bits and not changing the aux belt tensioner. Renault would of quoted for cambelt and aux belt kits. Worth checking what they are doing as I can't believe anywhere charges less than £50/hr labour...

70 miles, mixed driving, regular appearences from mr shift light etc.

There are some out there with the 1.2 8v engine, 60bhp of pure muscle, front tyres perish before they wear out/ hit 60mph!

Meg's endurance gold class tyre shine is the best i've found. Super resin and glass polish are my favourite AG products.

Yep, by the time I'd got a drink you had left, would have said hello otherwise, cocktails are good in there!
