Not surprised they all have decats when they cat is worth about a grand lol
I just buy the cheapest, roughest, straight car I can find. Then put it right
Clio enthusiasts come in all forms though! you have the MK1 lot, The V6 fans, the Diesel smokers etc! Its one of those cars that will eventually sell but its audience is so small it will take its time!
Agree the seller seemed to think they were onto something more desirable than it is, the...
yeah they are proper nice little cars to drive, my Mrs had a mk2 ph2 1.6 16v when they were new and i remember chasing a Focus ST170 in it glued to it down a backroad having a right giggle to myself!
Actually now I read it, he said a 64 plate which will be a ph1 so yes you were thinking of the right car, the little DRL on the grill. They also just get swapped by changing the full unit
I think it's one of those cars you would need to be a proper Clio fan to see the appeal. I like them they drive nice and go quite well. But I would see it as more quirky and rare to a modern classic, but then you look at older warm hatch type cars from a few years before the RSI like an AX GT...
Replacement unless you are good with electronics is a full light unit, you replace the full headlight, my birds 68 plate has already had one under warranty
Identical on my diesel one, only difference was it was missing the hole for the lower gearbox mount.
Just check to confirm the above incase the 1.2 one isn't as thick, regardless I'm sure if it's thiner then it will be lighter!!
Diesel one is definitely ok as that's what I run and the wide...
as above loose weight from it and Track tuition.
The video comes to mind from back in the day of the 182 trying to keep up with Fred@BTM in his 1.2 16v Clio on the sprint track and struggling
EDIT:
Why do people find it so hard to accept that different specs go to different countries.
They will have been imported over then Renault AUS will have fitted the extra bits at import centre like all the UK cars got here with the alarm, window etching and locking wheel nuts.
There was the...
Yours may be a later model as most of the gordini was, have a look on the sticker on the driver's door shut and see if it says 106 or 110.
They respond really well to a remap!
Nice, I ordered a GT dci when they were new in white, was my first new car, with every option, they drive really really nice! Some of the later ones got the dci110 rather than the 106 which was a nice little bonus as it had a torque boost too
Yeah that was why I was curious about the braked weight limit as if it was just a guidance then that's fine but if it's legally enforceable then I'll need to shift the kangoo on for a trafic or somthing similar
Fantastic thanks I'll check it out and see what it says on the vin sticker. It seemed strange as the Renault documents say 1050kg, yet most similar size, weight, engined Renault's seem to be 1500kg! I'll double check. Cheers
While we're on the subject does anyone know the answer to this.....
I don't have the towing part on my licence so my understanding is I can tow a trailer as long as the weight of the car/trailer and load isn't over 3.5t? My kangoos MAM Is 1950 leaving 1550kg for the trailer and car?
The kangoos...
