I said it was 3 years for it. My old boy had his done at three years too (by renault) his mileage was no where near 36k back then (ages ago) so it wasn't the mileage factor.

^ It's three years. As I said last time they apparently messed up in one of their books. My old man had his done @ 3 years, plus Fred says it's three years.

Fair play to you, very good car to have at that age.

It used to belong to a dude & his gf who were on here, the new owner isn't on here though.

^ you have a 172 cup, so unlikely to have climate control, so it's easier to do, therefore a fair bit cheaper. Then they'll probably say £300 for the aux belt, so basically a lot more than a speacialist.

They never did one, there was talk about the makers possibly making some as the demand for one seemed good, I don't think it ever got off the ground though.

Have you tried the search facility ?? If not, give it a try.

Great stuff. Wiilliams's still do it for me, i'd have one.

I prefer it beforehand, sorry.

Yep that one is shocking, I'm convinced it was for sale when I was looking for mine. If it is it's had about six owners.

I'd pay the monies too, if they fook it up they'll (hopefully) be insurd so you'd get new stuff (or someone else would clean it for you)

From what I understand, it doesn't affect the premium, it will affect the payout in the event of an accident though. It will also be written off if the damage doesn't cost that much to repair (it's beacuse it has been crashed before)

Maybe get a set of recaro's from an evo or something ?? They will be cheap, but won't be a direct fit (would need the subframes)

They are coated, if you wanted to refurb them you'd need to get the coating off. I've heard that getting the coating off is a complete ballsache. Mine could do with doing tbh.

I thought people just put the tape where they didn't want to paint, then painted them up ? Then they took the tape off ??

^ oh yeah so it does, my bad. The ad's not that bad then.

^ how on earth being in college can you afford it ?? (i'll butt out if i'm being too nosey) Don't worry about being on here without a clio, about a third of folk on here don't have one.

What more do you want to know about it ?? You email them & say 'has it had the cambelt done etc' They go, eh you what ?? ;)

Cambelt 5 years or 72k (whichever is first) Aux belt 3 years or 36k (whichever is first) Your looknig at about £500 for them from a specialist (for the pair, not each) I'd have them done asap & a full service too.

In college & looking at paying 7k out on a motor, how things have changed. Anyway, back on topic sneaky dash off to the bog to call the seller ftw !

Sorry, I hate them they don't even look like they belong on the car. Awful things !

Pmsl @ this thread !!! I'll not say what I was going to say as i'll be moaned at.

It is awful, but it's done to a good standard of awfulness imo.

Call him up & get answers ?? It has phone number on it.

Lol, my plan is to get my vx220 turbo, if I don't get on with it i'll buy a rare coloured mk2 vee:) My old boy has already asked to buy the vx off me & I haven't even got it yet !

I'd go with painting the letters on the wheels too. I'm crap at painting.

Then in the ad he says it's elecrtic blue:S (I know that miami blue is a pug colour btw) Plus he's used a stock pic (he does say more pics to come tomorrow - but surely he could have just put the ad out tomorrow instead ??) http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/730642.htm Not how to sell a car !!!

How gash are those wheels !!! I'd sell them on straight away & put a set of the original ones on it.

Cambelt & aux belt need doing now, if you've not got £500 off the price you may want to think about it, as that lot will cost that amount (or so) The aux belt should already have been done (it was due at three years)

S1 elises have been 7k or so for a good few years now. I remember years ago I wanted one (well before the vee) but I could only afford an early one, as my then budget was a bit pants I didn't do it.
