Hi there just bought my self a clio 182 , drove 3 hours to pick it up and on the way back i fell in love with the car , but then the problems started . Broke down on the motorway last person to do the oil change hadn't put sump bolt in tight enough so it dumped all its oil on the motorway and knackerd the engine , so when i got back i got on the hunt for new engine , managed to find one locally for 500 quid so cracked on with it. Got the hpi check in the post as text never came its been cat c ( even more annoyed now ) . So i went round the car and found extra wires for the headlights taped up and after posting it on face book found out it wasn't a cup but a full fat clio and should have xenons on it and the cv joints are on there way out . So i haven't had a good first start with the clio , but im still hooked on that 20 miles that i drove it was the best handling and fun car I've ever had so ill start splashing the cash on this pocket rocket very soon , cheers ben

Hello nasherrooni that a bit of bad luck there

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Welcome along, not the best start to ownership but hopefully it will be all fixed and sorted soon

Get the cambelt kit changed on the new engine while it's out of the car by someone who knows what they're doing with the correct locking tools should save you a few quid in labour

Terrible start. I would be taking it back and asking for my money back! Hate it when people sell dodgy cars and screw people over. I thought I had a raw deal with mine and the little issues I found. Hope you get it all sorted.

Pretty sure you have to declare if it's a Cat C, whereas D you don't?

Best of luck in your continued ownership!
