I owned a mint (and I mean mint) standard example for three years (sold it last july) no real issues with it at all tbh, in that time it needed a new clutch, plus servicing - nothing major, apart from
It ended up being on about 90k but the oil pressure pump let go on it :mad: So it basically...

Are you taking it to Renault Romford ? (the one by Gallows corner)
My dad takes his 172 there & has never had a problem with them at all - yet. He says they are actually quite good.
I'd take a clio tbh, unless it was an mr2 turbo.
A standard mr2 (the mk2 g reg shaped one) Is clio valver (clio 1.8 16v) pace - nothing more.
What's your budget ??
The one next to Martin's car, on the right is Jay s's car - that's pretty quick to say that least.
i'm not sure about the 172's, dunno whose those are.
Blue cup on the hill outside star burger (or what ever its called) Tonight about 7.30, bit risky leaving it there especially in Dagenham with all of the chavs on stolen mopeds, not to mention the idiots who weave in & out the road in their bmx's, with no lights on.
I was doing my usual trip...
When ever I go & look at a car I always look at it first & if i'm interested go back & look at it again - this way you may notice something you didn't the first time.
Tbh if my car was up for 9k there's no way i'd accept 8k for it, he'll prob drop £500 if your lucky, but some people don't...
Ouch ! Not good news at all, the cambelt kit from renault is about £80 that includes the idler, tensioner & belt etc, but my guess is that it'll have some bent valves.
Fair play - I do remember that thread, you can't blame people for being sceptical (me included)
As for modding - if it's reversible then fair enough, but end the end the day its thier car -they can do what they like to it.
I was thininking, surely he means v6;)
They are quite bad:dapprove: still have one though:approve:
The other thing I thought they looked a bit unstable when pulling away after going round 'the roundabout'
Any one know if they are all on the standard set up ??
Cool, my dads got a flame red 172 which I borrow every now & again.
Tbh I really wouldn't worry about getting winter wheels, but if you want some i'd say just go for a set of 16" steelies from a laguna - assuming they are the right offset etc, but your car will look sh*t with them on !
& again, i'm going to ring them up tomorrow & try for more, just want to know of any one else who has got a better deal from them than the one they offered me.
That looks to be a very,very early valver (yes I know it's a J reg) but it's got the early seats & that renault badge (the small square one) on the door pillars.
If it checks out (loads of paperwork etc) go for it, with a bit of a tidy up it could be a bargain.
97k is sweet fa for a mk1 tbh -...
