£10 says you don't. I'll strangle you.

He might save £20 on parts and maybe £50 on labour. But if he's got half a brain, he'll send it away with "CAMBELT OVERDUE" across the invoice and let you sort it. Thus voiding any responsibility he may have with the workmanship that you get carried out your end.

The seller would be mental to do the belts when he could just knock the price off. Get a price list from Renault for both belt kits, dephaser, water pump, coolant, crank bolt and some new cam end caps. He'll s**t himself and see the light I'm sure. If his mate Dave is doing it with Tipex...

Black/grey smoke is over fueling, so I'm going with an injector/coil pack/spark plug/HT lead.

Welcome to the club Laura. Unfortunately there could be umpteen things wrong with it. But without looking at it and carrying out a few basic checks, it's pretty hard to offer any advice. Have you checked your coolant level? Is the cooling system leaking? Have you checked the oil level...

Why on earth would you break it?? There's hardly any on the road. In the nicest possible way, I think that's a very poor decision.

Coming along nicely mate! Well done.,

I thought that, sounds bloody awesome! Lol

Some say the interior still smells of sperm and disappointment.

Porsche Riviera Blue?

Don't do this ffs. With the engine behind the trailer axle, you'll create all sorts of bother.

Yes, yes they do. Do they work? No, no they don't. I have first hand experience of it. The seats are too far forward from the back of the door. The fancy hinge system would work if the seat wasn't 4 foot from the door opening.

Because you have an urge to get stuck inside it at Sainsbury's because the doors don't open wide enough?

I saw one. But I saw it every day for about 10 years. It was the directors car of the garage I worked for, then it went up for sale and the bloke at the end of my road bought it. Sick at the sight of it after 10/12 years! Jewish racing gold, 2.2dci privilege. With no options. Manual. What a...

I think that's s nice car and look like it's been well looked after. Sadly, it's about £5-700 overpriced. He's clearly a driveway trader so you'll have to cover his profit but you'll get none of the back up should it suddenly blow up 2 weeks down the line that you would get from a proper...

They weigh about 2 ton!

My mate bought a battered old pea green T4 builders van for £1500. He painted it white (didn't bother to do the door shuts or engine bay!) and fitted some £500 eBay alloys and fitted some seats out of an old Saab, Sold it for £5,800 to some chump. I just don't get it. I can understand if it...

I don't get them at all. Loads of money, s**t on fuel, rusty... why?? Lol I look forward to progress pics though, I love a good day van.

I bought one and it's ok for older cars with thin tinny metal. For newer stuff you'll need a better glue. The glue they provide is cheap crap. I got some proper glue off our dent guy at work and it's worlds apart to what those kits come with.

That does look proper.

I have about 2 more weeks until I can book mine. I have all fingers and toes crossed. I CANNOT wait to go. Best weekender of the year.

I only say switch as you can do that without taking the door card off. (Yes, I'm a lazy b*****d!)

Cut the wires on the switch and swap them round.

But you actually look like Dave Gorman and Frankie Boyle's bum sex love child.

Any one of them from the inbetweeners. Absolutely no idea why mind you.

You look NOTHING like I'd imagined.

This thread will just fill up with people's opinions. So won't really help you. If you've not driven any of the meg's, 197/200's etc, get out and have a go in a few. You could also look at a Clio Trophy? They are rising in value fast so if you buy wisely it could be an investment as well as...

Beautiful. You must look after this car!!! I've been loads of places in it. From Cumbria to collect a Toolbox, to Redruth on holiday. A fantastic buy mate. Enjoy.

Fwiw, I'm 'liking' the pic of your lovely son. Not your stupid car.

Stared at it in utter disbelief. We have a mass of trees and plants (that our chairman insists all sites have) that s**t out the most aggressive sap you ever did see. Honestly never seen anything g like it. Looks like someone has shot my car with a paint ball gun. Now my car is a £500 banger...
