I'm more than annoyed

[Dave_Tricky]

im saving hard for a 182, and just had the MOT on my 1.2 clio which is a 53 reg. its come back from a service, then an MOT, the cambelt has been replaced and then i was told the battery will need replacing. now financially thats a piss-take for me, i really want my new car and this is just holding me back. arrr

 

[Josh@Renparts]

so did you ask for those to be done? please dont tell me its and renault having these done.

 

[Dave_Tricky]

na screw using renault, they would over dew me even more. to ensure the MOT was done properly i had my local garage have a service on it, then it went for the mot, no failures, it was all good, but that alone is a fair few wads of cash and then the cambelt needed changing, its at 60k now but the mechanic told me i needed a new battery soon, so thats next month annoying event

 

[jesus]

only buy a new battery when yours dies i'd say

 

[owai]

It's ok im having a nightmare at the moment trying to get My MR2 turbo MOT'd so i can put it up for sale for a 172!
MOT was monday picked up a flat on the way to the MOT centre . just got back from quick fit and their cheapest budget tyre was £80! i can get a toyo t1r for 65!
Thinking about never having a car and having to worry about cambelts and other consumables!

 

[Dave_Tricky]

haha ok i admit, your slightly worst off than me, and i may be exagerating the slightness.

 

[AlexG]

at that mileage some parts of the car will coming to the end of their life span and will need replacing. costly i know.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

So did you ask the garage to carry out the timing belt or did they just do it?

And how can he tell if the battery need replaced?

 

[Andyman]

Maybe you should have used Renault after all because youve been screwed over anyway

 

[Dave_Tricky]

he uses a computer to allow him to justify whether any parts are going. the cambelt needed to be changed at 60 k anyway, and i want to sell the car come march/april so those no point leaving it. its just the fact that its all happening at once. a real dent in my 182 savings!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Well when you find youself in the position to buy one make sure the belts done on the 182, as most if not all will be due
