ive had a few mk2 clio DCi's and currently got a new mk3 one, i do about 300 miles a week so dont really need a diesel but i dont like putting 300 miles a week onto my ph1, i wanted something brand new, reliable, cumfy, quiet with loads of toys so thats why i got the dci, being a fully specced...
the 1.2 16v is fine, their isnt a great deal of difference between that and the 1.4 16v, not worth paying big insurance difference over anyway. avoid the 1.2 8v tho.
as above had both and they are not worth changing, if you do a search i looked into this a few years back and had some good threads with info but then i drove one and realised it was a stupid idea as it was the same cost and work to convert to 2.0 16v
bet that wont have been cheap!
i done dampers all round, springs all round both track rods, track rod ends, both bottom arms both ball joints, both top mounts, both driveshafts and all ARB bushes on my old ph2 172 and had John @ progrip set it up and it was the best money i spent on the car...
ph1 all the way!
no point in you getting a 182, if your going ph2 just go 172.
ur budget would get you a ph1, refresh everything up front and a jms inlet. done!
im guessing going by his post its a mk3 ph1, that sounds about right they are very heavy and not very economical engines around town if your doing motorway driving it should be a good bit higher tho
for future reference, if you stick a wee bit of water around the injectors you will see what ones are leaking, quite a common problem at least its a cheap fix!
extreme 4 had the same styling kit as a dynamique but was colour coded.
it had the same shape sports seats but horrible green colour that stain easily. didnt have the fancy dynamique head rests
the rear seats were cheaper looking with no head rests.
no auto wipers or auto lights, no...
its an ok price id say not the cleanest or lowest millage one about and its got no options but a good car for the money. no mention of the cambelt thats well over due id be looking into that
ive been in an S14 with red stuff pads and a clio 182 on standard setup should out brake it no problem to put your mind at ease, they are broken not crap from factory
