Great find! Enjoy it
And 'specialist' does not necessarily mean main dealer.

Just FYI, belt intervals are 5yrs/72k but everyone tends to err on the side of caution because if goes, it goes.

Re: Finally getting a Clio Sport
Congrats on the purchase, I absolutely love my 172.
Just to clear things up for you... Belt Intervals are:
Cam belt & tensioners: 5 years / 72k miles (which ever come soonest)
Aux belt & tensioners: 3 years / 36k miles (which ever come soonest)
So I'm afraid your Aux belt may need changing... a Specialist would advise to change it as if the Aux belt goes, 90% of the time it takes the cambelt with it and thats a huge bill/potential engine write off.
The initial Aux belt interval was the same as the Cambelt when our cars were first released; but Renault reduced it as too many aux belts were snapping and taking cam belts with them.
Its your call; when I bought my 172 the Aux belt had done about 34k over 5 years, and when it came off it didn't look shagged by any means - but that doesnt mean too much. Your belt has obviously done a lot less miles up to now so it will just depend on the environment its lived in over the last 3 years and whether the rubber has perished at all.
If you've got £300 you'd like to spend on your Monaco any time soon - I think you should consider getting the Aux belt & tensioners done as soon as; then you can drive the car as hard as you wish with no worries.
