God I hate clios

ASW to f**k

Wish I never bought mine, spent 11k getting it mint and it still wont f**king work. Wilwood brakes are s**t, 3/8" UNF unions are s**t, engine mounts are s**t, the clocks are s**t.

I will brake this car and sell the parts if its not moving by tuesday

[ben_p]

[Ad]

you'll sell it and then want another. Just get it sorted!

 

[Revels]

I'm so surprised you don't work in McDonalds. Not even on the tills because you can't be trusted with money. You just have to salt the chips or something.

They're just not designed to be modified. At all.

As soon as one thing is modified, the next part just falls off.

[Cupster]

Strange, I have owned Fords and VW's and my clios are the only cars that have had no major probs! (Bar a new rear shock!). Luck o the draw I s'pose.

11K? Daaaaam

[ben_p]

Am i looking at about £1k Fred?

for basic stuff yeah

but I doubt you would notice much tbh, Its not worth it bud unless you intend on going bawls out with boddies, pistons etc

 

[Stu_F]

Well i went from a clio 172 to a brand new Seat Leon FR Tdi.

Was forced to sell that............ and came back to a Clio 172!! LOL

Can't beat em for fun...... no matter what you have afterwards you'll always yearn for the clio....

 

[Bluebeard]

you'll always yearn for the clio....

I yearn for Herpes more than my Clio's.

Some people are just unlucky. Not had a single big issue with any of the 5 1*2's I've owned.

I've had 9. 7 of them were perfect.

These last two are really REALLY testing my patience.

 

[theathea]

After 3 1/2 years i still would not part with my 182 as it has
been faultless so far ( gulp )
On the bright side there is always someone worse off than you
A MINI owner out of warranty for example.........awaits abuse?
