Tell me about it, although I'm destined for a breakdown after saying this...I'm on my 3rd Clio now, covered around 120k in 6 years and never had a single breakdown or any problems whatsoever. Clio 1 was an N reg RL Prima, took that past 110k with no probs, Clio 2 was an 03 1.2 Dynamique from new and kept that for 25k, and car 3 is my 53 172 Cup, which I've just done 16k in my first year running it.
*runs to touch lots and lots of wood*

Car also been in for..
Rear wiper inop (pipe caught under spolier, then it was chipped but not noticed)
Cluck from suspension on full lock (shocks modified)
Clunk when accelerating hard (engine mounts out)
Rear bumper loose (damn bolts underneath had fell out)
& more..ill have a think...
Tho it needs to go back for new centre section as its rattling, also needs replacement exhaust trims as they are cracked again. The central clock display went mad once for a few months, but its come back to life with the warmer weather..
