Clio 1.2 MkII Ph1
Hey, guys!
I'm finally old enough for my insurance on a 1.2 to not cost a small mortgage, and I've decided to go for a Clio! I'm really new to cars, to be honest - I know a healthy amount, but with regards to modding, I'm completely useless, haha. Either way, I thought I'd just introduce myself and my car, just in case I happen to be at any events.
Just bought a 1998 Clio 1.2 Grande - cost me £850 with 6 months' road tax, and I'm very much looking forward to being part of this community with it. I have one problem with it - and that's that the handbrake sometimes doesn't hold the car on steep inclines/declines - but that's nothing that isn't sorting itself out over time. Also, since my car didn't come with service history (it's only had one previous owner, which is a good thing, I guess), I'm a bit suspicious that the cambelt may need changing soon. It's just hit the 80k mile-mark, and I think I'll give it its first service this weekend - with my trusty Haynes Manual, of course!
But yeah - I should be attending some events when they arise, all except for the ones that are to do with racing, as I'm having one of these telematics boxes installed within a couple of weeks. So, hi all!
