Ph1

[Michael172]

Im tempted. Im very tempted. Just so long as my policy ive just taken out will let me and the premium wont be too high (dunno wat it is yet) i may just slip and get a ph-quick.

Very very tempted.

Any common problems i can expect, and what are they like structurly ? ie, are the gears like mash potato like in the paxo. etc etc etc

go go.

Its not only that mike, ph1's are old cars now and bits start to fall off them.

They are lovely cars but you better be prepared for big bills.

Most ph1's i looked at had not even had cam belt done!!!! and thats a £500 job alone.

aye your right. im going to save up for somehitng newer, even if it is a 1.2.:S

 

[theduck]

Go for something slightly bigger, 1.4 or 1.6. The 1.6 esepcially will feel a lot nippier!

Older ph-quick over a new 1.2 anyday if you can afford the insurance. Like any sporty car just find one that's been looked after and had the belts and it won't give you any more problems than any 1*2

My ph1 is likely to be for sale by next weekend lol. Anything major has been done!

But to be honest, I think the insurance will be extortionate! I am not happy paying £420 a year let alone any more!!!

Bits are starting to fall off yes :dapprove: however the "big bills" comment is nonsense. Apart from the exhaust falling off (at 40k miles, like it does in all clios) it hasn't cost me anything in repairs.

Saying this though, it's got a MOT tomorrow - bet I've just jinxed myself. :S

Cambelt £500? Maybe if you let Renault mug you, I got mine done for half that price.

Bits are meant to fall off on a cup? It was designed so bits would fall off? Is that was you're saying?


And you called him a fool.
