16v Service

[Coops Mk1]

Hey all, am new to this forum but ur advice would be appreciated!

i recently bought my dream 1.8 16v clio n wanna get it serviced, its done a fair few miles but its had cam belt n that done recent for which i have reciepts. i reckon it needs a major service to be safe, basically everythin short of belts!! but i dunno where to get this done, should i use renault or are they not to be trusted?i have owned a 1.4rt for three years but only spent enough to keep it running, this car i want to look after as it deserves!

any advice atall would be appreciated

cheers

Ben

All the services on them are pretty basic bar the cambelt change, so any decent garage you trust will do it just as good, and a lot cheaper than Renault.

Ill service it for you! Not tempted to try it yourself? Bought my valver to learn stuff and am now confident tackling most things TBH. Saves a lot of money.

Oil filters on the front of the engine block its a right pain to get at but you can get it withough needing to remove anything.

Best idea service the car yourself its not worth paying someone to do it unless its a realy bad job.
