Sorry Danith, you're right - if the steering goes STOP!! Andyrg - can't pm you, your inbox is full

2003 52 plate Danith - I doubt there is a way, the steering went and I should've just pulled over but kept driving thinking there was no way the loss of power steering would wreck the engine!

Any advance on £650? Got two offers for that collected...there's any easy £1000-1500 to be made If not, I'll sort it tomorrow and hopefully be joining the Cayman or BMW forum on Sat ;) If I don't reply I hope you all enjoy your clios (which has been loadsa fun) and you have a lot more luck...

No I don't??

Latest offer is £650, broken pink Clios seem to be popular!

I think so and I don't wanna take the risk that they find something else when fixing it. Even if I stick a new engine in for say £800, I'm gonna take it straight to a dealer an part ex it for probably £1500...might as well take £500-600 for it and save the hassle. Just spoke the garage...

I've got a offer locally from a friend of a friend so if that doesn't come off I'll put it up for sale.

It did run well and bar the points I mentioned there was nothing else wrong with it...best colour, low mileage etc Been great fun for five years but prob could've run a 911 for less! Bloody French surrender monkey of a car this one

Haven't got any mates that could do it..how much do you reckon a garage would charge? Was only likely to get £1500 part ex so think I be best to just get rid

I'm not in the middle of nowhere, I was talking about when it last broke down on my way to Newquay. RAC towed it to local garage in a little village in Devon. There's plenty round here and I've used them but I'm more interested in whether it's worth fixing. Had a couple of offers for it as is...

Leigh-on-Sea in Essex

Last time a sensor went on the power steering hose, pump seized, aux belt came off and took the cambelt with it....some joker charged me £1600 to fix it but put an oil seal in the wrong way round! Broke again on my way down to Newquay for a holiday and cost another £800 to put right - middle of...

Hi all, Only my second post and only the second time my cambelt has given up in the last two and a half years! Cost me £1600 last time and just had a quote of £1622 from a different garage so assume that's the going rate (inc cylinder head, and VAT) Car is a full fat 172 on a 52 plate with...

bigrich - alternator £130, aux belt £15, labour £180 (2.8hrs)....a french car specialist wanted £400 and renault (typically) wanted £526!! Thanks for looking Maynard, looks like Nick's £45 jobby is the way forward Cheers for everyone's help

...and I've already had that happen once when the PS pump seized...had to have all 16v replaced!! Nick..I may well take you up on the offer, will see what Maynard says tomorrow first though Cheers for the quick replies

I think it's free wheeling. The garage that said they might be able to match it also said it isn't a massive risk to drive it...it's been making a noise for about six months though so I've probably already pushed my luck with it. Sounds like I'm going to have to pay out £350!

Hi, Anyone know if the alternator pulley on a ph2 172 can be replaced without needing a whole new alternator? I know Renault don't supply it but wondered if a Citroen/Peugeot part would match? I'm trying to drive it as little as possible (in case it goes and takes the cambelt with it) but...
