Calm down guys. I said ages ago that I have decided against the blue 'shed' I came on here to ask about it as I had my concerns! Don’t jump on me for it, at least not after I discounted it. And Millwall4life its still not clear which car you think looks sh*t. We have already established the...

What, than the ebay/autotrader ones, or the blue 'Shed'

I didnt realise you had to pay. I'll probably rather wager my £10 on autotrader to sell it. but if do get a 172 I'll consider joining.

I would but I don't have permission to post there. I believe you have to be cliosport club member

Just the 172 then if you are being picky. Ive heard people on sites refer to it as the FF (Full Fat) 172 Compared to the stripped out 172 Cup without the toys

Not sure if the cam belt was done or not. But decided to leave it anyway. Decided if i really want a Full Fat 172 I'll probably have to pay a bit more and expect it to come with stock alloys and looks - I'm not really interested in performance tweaks. You never know someone on here might want...

Yeah I am thinking that, a few I have just looked at are the same. Sorry peperami, didnt see the post you had put up when I replied last

Good Spot!!! Begs the question why a respray, accident damage perhaps. Will keep that in mind. Thanks

How can you tell that?

Any Thought on these cars? I'm particular interested in what work I should be looking at that should have been done in the services, i.e. the ones that are extra costly i.e. cam belt etc which I already know.

This one is in the same county as me. Still an hour and a half drive away http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180397252332&fromMakeTrack=true don’t like the fact they have no service book. I've emailed and asked if they have any receipt that show the cam belt has been changed...

no offense but how can you tell when there is no mention of servicing. Yep its not been tarted up a bit but you cant see the condition of the alloys. Im not defending the 'shed' as its now know but the interior did look better than on the pictures, interior photos with flash always look bad.

thanks, my postcode is LA12 0HN so most those are well over 200 miles away, some decent ones there tho price/mileage wise

been looking on autotrader for a few weeks. not much to my liking. unless its over £3500 or I wanted Silver

i've been looking for a car between 2k and 3k for a while something, but I dont want to step down too much from my Civic Type-R, at least not to a 'Plain Jane' car. Spending much over 3K on a car and initial costs just wont give me the money I'd rather have to put to my house.

those the washers for the lights. I noticed those and pointed them out...are light washers really required for the MOT?

I'm not Daniel trust me. I cam on here because I really wasn’t sure, and to be honest love the kind of car, and cut see its cosmetic pitfalls I could easily tidy. It was the mechanical side of things I was concerned about and there are no signs of anything wrong there other than of course...

I've emailed the seller (pretending to be another person) and asked a few more pokey questions, and also about the cam belt. If its not been done I definitely wont be interested if it is a £500 job - anyone able to confirm it costs around that much (if you don't do it yourself obviously)

How can you tell its neglected mechanically - other than missing recent services. All those links are out of my price range. I dont like black alloys etc either.

Ok, here is the video I took yesterday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii9q6hxRVFE

If it has not been serviced after about 50k can anyone detail any major things it might have missed on service (i.e. one that dont happene ever service or every second service) Thanks for your thoughts so far guys. Does no one think the negative sides of the condition etc that I ahve expressed...

On another note, they did say they hadnt had time to valet it yet

perhaps, but at 81 k miles and that age most exhause will have needed to be replaced. Ive read a lot of the owner reviews on parkers and they do say that renaults direct replacement is the same about the same price as a stainless/performance exhaust. Problem is my current car is a Civic Type R...

ok here is some pictures. I will have a video on youtube within 30mins

I am a perfectionist so I am being very critical. It may well have had the cambelt done I need to check. I got the quotes from a review. I will try and add some pictures

Hi, I am looking at buying a Clio Renaultsport 172 and joining the 'club' on this forum if I do. The car is a 2002 '01' Plate, 81,000 miles and has full service history up to 50,000 miles nothing after that. It has a years MOT, decent life left on tyres, bigger alloys though all heavily...
