300?

Whats wrong with it?

Looks great

Bargin - good buy

Breakers pay that much for them

How come so cheap?

Cant see any real visual problems with it apart from cosmetically a smashed fog light and wonky rear wiper

Guess its just the camber of the road rather than a cracked front spring?

 

[matt uk]

had no mot

failed on steering play inwheel and blowing exhaust

guy supplied failure sheet

sorted both out for about £10 got steering welded and did exushaust myself with new gaskets.

hopefully should pass mot tomorrow

is it leaking sh*t under neath? patches on the road good buy tho thats well cheap!!!!!!!!!

 

[TomS]

Cheap as!

Good work mate

Be prepared to spend though, as you are most aware anyway i expect

Tom

 

[matt uk]

patches on road are from previous cars mate

had 25 in 2 years lol

3 in this month alone!

had 4 valvers before and nothing major up with it to be honest

few stone chips and scratches at the worst

head gaskets fine

doesnt over heat

tryres are good

brakes could do with some new pads but fine for MOT

gearbox is fantastic best so far out of the 4 valvers ive had



your right tho mate seems to good to be true im still waiting for the day a wheel will fall off lol

Looks like theres a dip on the bonnet to the left of the scoop!!!

Still a good price though..........Wasnt this up forsale on hear a few months back?

 

[matt uk]

that was another m reg i got for £290 from durham

that had full leather interior

put that one through mot and swapped it for a civi vti

which i then swapped for a pulsar GTIR

which i then blew up and sold as spares or repair



and so the fun starts again with another valver !



i just keep watch of the for sale section and jump on any bargin straight away

beat matt brown to both the last 2 clios

just down to being in right place at right time i guess

I reckon that car is sweet, would have it for myself if I knew how to fix them things that was wrong with it .

When it failed its MOT I finally decided to upgrade(www.matthewodonnell.co.ul/Clio172). Just wanted rid of it after I upgraded and £300 seemed to be what people were willing to pay.

Matt, after you left I realised I had forgoten to give you the handbook(I still have it, its in good condition), if you want it PM your address and I will post it up.

Mat.

 

[matt uk]

[cat171]

total bargain there, let us know how you get on with the mot

 

[matt uk]

passed mot!



only failed on low headlight which he ajused for me in under 30 secs



well what a bargin this has turned out to be

to make things better what i though was a dodgy alternator turned out to be a loose rust wire from battery to alternator

what a lovelly day it was today! lol
