Coming back to a Clio

[AdzC]

Hi everyone,

Revisiting the site as I am thinking of coming back to the Clio fold after selling my 1.2 Mk2 Phase 2 Extreme back in 2005.

After flirting with a MKIV Supra, R32 Golf (MKIV) and my current car a BMW 335d E92 I am looking at a run around whilst I save up some money for another car.

Currently got my eye on a 2002 52 registered 172 in black up at £1500. It has had the belt kits fitted and also new water pump and seems to be in decent condition and wearing its 103k miles fairly well.

Car has a broken front coil spring and needs a new solenoid for the boot button mechanism.

Anything else I should be wary of before I part with any cash?

Thanks

Adam

Just picked it up now after some negotiating. Have to say what a laugh to drive. Going from a high powered rear wheel drive automatic to a 172 is like driving a go kart.

Big smile on my face now.
