Dont think so mate, he hasnt posted any problems with it on here anyway.
Keep in mind that its an 8 year old car so its not going to be absolutley flawless with regard to condition. So long as its been serviced it should be okay. Nothing major has gone wrong in the time ive had mine, just daft...
Standard induction on the Clio 172's is good.
Some aftermarket Induction kits can cause "heat-soak" and zap power i.e lose it
Best way to tell if its making a difference is to get a before RR and after RR day to be sure
Far too many variables on getting a true BHP figure.
From what ive seen they are pretty consistent across the range, with so many people changing exhausts/remaps/camshafts and so on its difficult to gauge as and when engines loosten up etc
Sounds like it anyway mate. From the symptoms your saying it definatley sounds like what mine was doing.
Mine was very hesitiant (firing on 3 cylinders, very rough idle etc)
Changed the spark plugs and the coil pack and its been fine since.
Pulling the HT leads out through the process of...
Phase 1 172 is what you need.
Traction control is for quitters lol
Only car I had with TC was my Citroen CT GT, you couldn't disable it but it never failed to remind you you were being naughty by flashiny a red triangle at you when the front wheels were alight
Looks nice mate I've got an iceberg aswell on titanium coloured F1's.
I'm not hot for the colour coded bump strips personally I think it breaks up the silver and defines it as a phase 1
Just my personal preference though.
Its very very tidy though!!!!
Had mine in at Renault 3 weeks ago.
My HID's are 8000k, nothing mentioned bar "they look nice mate,is it standard fit...?"
I think it helps the fact that i have the optic lens on it that cars with factory Xenon fitment get makes it look original as it were
Me again lol, I have a 2001 Ph1 aswell mate. Love it dearly
Same again mate, belts done are a must or that would need to come down atleast £500
I'm a biy sceptical about buying without religious service history and so on but it does sat its got stamps and stuff?
It does sound like your car could be misfiring mate.
Possibly a faulty coil pack or faulty High Tension lead going into each of the 4 coils?
Are there any lights illuminated on the dash mate?
Remember one thing, hes selling. Your buying so techinically the balls in your court.
The swinger is going to be if the belts havent been done, this is an absolute must if it hasnt already been done. If they have, test the water and remind him you would be coming from Edinburgh to potentially...
Edinburgh to west midlands? 296 miles, piece of piss in a Renault Sport mate.
If it was a toss up between paying less and getting one close by or paying a fraction more and getting a minted id be buying a train ticket to the west midlands.
The fun's in driving it back up :D
I wouldnt say its overly cheap mate keeping in mind the belts will have to have been done, if its got religious service history and is in very good condition id say its worth 2800 at most tbh
Heres one i found just quickly >
