what a load of tripe, its because 18 year olds are more of a risk, Please tell me that comment was a wind up ??

its the way of the world mate, get used to it.

1200cc was a suggestion. Granted you have had trouble free motoring but can't you see that if that was the case in the majority of your age group insurance premiums would be circa 3k, i think not.

thats what we've all thought at some stage or another...... how can you say age has nothing to do with it, if that was the case why ain't 18 year old lads paying the same as 40 year olds for insurance?

it does make him a liability, thats why his insurance is 3k I presume your comment about anger was not directed at me as I have vented no anger, just a point of view.

Thats my point though mate, I don't think it should be up to them, surely it should be based on risk assessment rather than your bank balance. How come a 17 year old can't ride a GSXR1000 on the road but they could a Maclaren F1 if they have a fat enough wallet, wrong. IMO of course ;-)

I apologise if this has already been posted, I personally find it disgraceful that an insurance company will insure you for £3000 a year. By doing this they are admitting you are a major liability on the public highway so to protect their risk they charge you a very large premium. I know...

i owned a 1.9 gti many years ago and I have to say it was a fantastic car. IMO pretty timeless design also.

that is just so so wrong

put some petrol in mate, quick !

I'd rather catch the bus than pay insurance premiums you guys are talking about, maybe that's just because i'm an old git I don't know.......

yer, and all the channels it shows on the preview page are on freeview anyway.

a year is a very short time my friend and near seven quid a day for insurance is totally bizarre IMO.

len_beach I must admit that the rattles do get damn annoying at times but then other times when youre having a good blast you dont even notice them, It all adds character doesnt it? Watch out for the angry swarm of bees in your glove box at about 4k revs........

dont look at them mate, listen for the rattles instead :)

thats Renault build quality for you ;)

I cant believe we are even having a debate about this... Get the VX mate !!! Clios are ten a penny

5 days out of warranty too, double ouch !!!!

I am desperate for some help please. I need to know the part number for a 52 plate Clio 172 Alternator. I have been messed around by Renault like you wouldnt believe ! My car has now been off the road for approaching 6 weeks, Im starting to feel like I never want to see the french piece of...

nice and original with tinted windows :confused:

The Clio = hairdresser / womans car is finaly backed up by the media.

lol, chin up mate :oops:

Only in my opinon of course !

cheers guys i get the message :) I ordered an alternator (which is faulty) they sent the wrong bolts (which took 10 days for them to swap for the correct ones) The tension pulley they sent was cracked (another 10 days to swap) I wouldnt recommend them.....

anyone had much experience with these? Ive been dealing with them for the last 5 weeks over a number of issues and they havent got one thing right, very annoying.

lol

cheap cheerful cars, the old saying "you get what you pay for" springs to mind

Im going to go outside now and try the car, I would be very suprised if the light came on now because I started it at 2pm, here goes 3pm......................................... bugger, lights on !!

KDF - I see what youre saying about the old alternator maybe not being faulty. Saying that it was diagnosed by Renault as faulty. :confused: DG - I have replaced my battery but I have retried the old battery and the situation was the same so I am concluding that this rules the battery out...
