Probably somewhere like Eurocarparts.com or GSF?

Actually I don't. She wanted brand new, cheap to run, cheap to insure, 5 door, auto, not slower than wind errosion, £12.5k budget. The Ibiza was the best we could find. Anyway, back to the original poster, just buy it and stop worrying!

Just buy it! You won't lose out at resale as you are buying it cheaper in the first place. It's swings and roundabouts mate. Pitch it properly and price it right and it will sell no problem, i've never had an issue selling high mileage cars, as long as it's maintained well and priced...

Nope, not young - She's 29, insurance is only £200 on her new car. However she has no interest in going quickly at all, she wanted a nice looking, easy to drive car which is fair enough as far as I am concerned. I have a warm hatch to have a laugh in, she has the 5 door hatchback. It makes me...

In what way is that statement relevent? My missus just bought a £12.6k 1.2 Seat Ibiza, should I have been telling her that is almost decent Evo 9 money?

If it won't start, it isn't ticking over. Ticking over is a term normally used when an engine has started and is idling. I presume you mean the engine TURNS over (as in the starter motor kicks in and spins the engine) but the engine fails to start?

I think it's great value. What's up with the spec? Cup pack, climate control, projectors. Ok it's not got Recaros but they aren't for everyone. I agree teh advert is terrible though!

They were never meant to make 197bhp, it's 197 ps so roughly 194bhp. To be honest though, they rarely make above 180-185 in standard form. Definately get yourself over to clio197.net. There are megane conversions, supercharged ones, and some tuned N/A ones. 220ish seems to be the limit for NA...

Not going to be cheaper no, but if you are intending on getting coilovers anyway then yes, it'll save you £120 if you go straight to the coilies instead of buying std now, they coilies in a few weeks.

No idea if it's the correct part (didn't look) however the current discount codes are on there homepage WINNER25 - Save 25% when spending up to £100 WINNER30 - Save 30% when spending over £100

Pop over to 197.net, there is guy that sells top mounts with camber adjustments.

I think I'll happily pay my £250 if it keeps me out of a dci! :rasp:

Failing that, see if any are being broken for spares on eBay or over on Clio 197.net

Mate of mine had a g60 running over 180 -200bhp without any issues. I think it's the same with most cars, sometimes you get a good 'un sometimes not so good.

Nope, 16v wouldn't really work (6 cylinder, so would be an odd number of valves!) 2 valves per cylinder, isn't really a proper V6 either. It's only a 15degree 'V' and shared a common head.

Nope, not 1.8. They definately did a 2.0 16v mate. 1.8 16v (KR) 1.8 8v supercharged (the g60) 2.0 16v (9A I believe) 2.0 8v (Don't even bother, it's quicker walking) 2.9 12v (vr6)

Can't you put a complaint in with someone? Surely they must have insurance of some sort?

The Corrado is an entirely different beast! I've had one of those too (2.0 16v not VR6) I loved my Corrado, out of the box it was great and with some FK automotive coilovers it was awesome. Here's my old Golf And here's my old Corrado

I've had a VR6, but never a 172. The VR6 isn't a great car at all. It makes a fantastic noise, but 174bhp from a 2.8 just ins't acceptable! Also, in standard form the handling isn't all that good. I'd steer clear personally, get a 172 and have some fun!

My GTi-6 was done by them (before I bought it, i'm not that stupid). I had exactly the same issue, very juddery pulling off. I took it to them to sort out as it was still under warrenty. They changed it again, it was juddering again a week later. I decided to do it myself the second time. New...

Autotrader is 1,000 times worse for this as adverts under 1k are only a tenner.

Yeah but there were only ever 70 UR R27's, what's the chances of 2 ending up within a couple of miles of each other. I'm gonna trash it, get the thing written off! :p

Oh no, not another UR R27 in my neck of the woods? I'm not happy about that!

Re: ***How much is my car worth?*** Might help if you tell people what spec it is? Engine etc.....

My god, I can't believe how much insurance has increased in the 12 years i've been driving. I've never paid more than about £800 per year for insurance, and that was when I was 20 driving a golf VR6. At 21 I had a Punto GT with lots of mods (all declared) and was paying sub £400 per year! So...

I think it's part of the handle. So yeah, probably a rip off!

Much better thasn the £400+ it would have cost you otherwise!

Pretty common on the 197's I believe. New button required?

I ws under the impression that Renault increased the cambelt interval to 6 years or 72k on the 200's?
