Could be clumsy Renault mechanics spilling oil down the side of the funnel when topping the oil up

I'd probably go the whole way and remove the Magnex lol Try the gasket first

That sounds pretty nasty

Exactly Instead it's got a great engine and the rest looks shite and probably doubles the weight of the car. What are people thinking?

Jesus that's cheeky

smoked lights don't sound too good I think the general consensus on CS is that lighting should be left standard

Welcome to CS Nice car and low miles....mine has 21k on the clock too on a 52 plate. Enjoy it...fun little cars:D

Neither Bodykit will make the car look poop and lowering will probably ruin any handling the car has

Mmmm I think a cable is simpler

A**holes Gutted for you:(

Sounds like a good improvement over stock:D

It has got plenty of life left in it with 21k on the clock Garaged daily as well so not in bad conditon cosmetically

Demon tweeks do Brembo calipers Expensive though anywhere

Nice car Welcome to CS:D

Not sure how much they charge per hour but cambelt plus aux belt and all the tensioners/kit plus the service (oil change etc) works out at £550. For comparsion Renault wanted over £600 for the cambelt alone so add the service on top and it's going to get expensive. Very wise words Stevie...I...

Mk2 172 I reckon about 7/10 Fun but not that exciting to drive...very reliable though and cheap to run:D

Nice choice although I'm sure most CS users will tell you the Clio range runs back to front (197 being the crappest and Mk1 172 being the best) lol Enjoy the car:D

Yep..that's why it's staying for the rest of the year. Just needed some good words from fellow CS members to convince me:D

Naff Got to come off

Sorry to hear this....sure things will look up soon

S**t...that is a lot of wear:eek:

What a moment of madness Car going to be booked in for next month Need to get some miles on it now.....I hear these Clios are quicker when loosened up:D

Welcome to CS

Renault Bath wanted £600 just for the cambelt so I won't be doing dealerships for sure....with a service on top it'll work out very expensive. Looks like the drive down to Portsmouth could be on the cards to Rentech. Appreciate the positive comments and I think I've seen sense...rattly...

Yeah..the history of cars is always an unknown...even if they have had service history etc & I know I could end up with a car with niggles which need sorting. Justin...are SJ Cooks any good at doing 172 cambelts....have you had yours done there? What are there prices like?

Well I'm the opposite...never had a car new enough to be under warranty so have ended up doing a lot of work on cars myself etc. Problem is these days I don't have the time or interest in it to get my hands dirty so it's out with the money.....also with a jopb as important as the cambelt you...

Leaning towards keeping it but still unsure :S

197 looks great in the silver.....glad it's running well. Nice bike as well...I ride to work a lot, always good to keep a few miles off the car and get fit at the same time:D

And back to aircon Wouldn't it also b**ger the resale value of the car? Okay in a cup which isn't supposed to have it but people do buy FF clios for the toys. Also be crap having buttons on the dash that don't work when pressed lol

It does put me off a bit as well even though people say they are fine etc. Looking at Golfs as well and the only low milage ones in my price bracket are the underpowered 1.6 ones which is no good really. £550 just sounds like a lot of money but I know it has to be done otherwise it'll be bye...
