[TEE-2012]

Hi all,

Firstly my ph1 grande had just done over 120k, im so proud.
However, Cue the sad music:
It's my first car and I'm worried that she's on the road out.
it's a 2000 x reg with 5 previous owners (not all have been as kind as I) and Im seeking your advice. she's needing a new drive belt, new handbrake cables and a new cv joint....and a new front spring...she also coughs a little bluw smoke which i think is the valve stem seals. SO! should I get the work carried out or is it time to say farewell to my beloved?

and secondly has anyone got any pis of their ph1 clios (preferably gris borealis. mv632) as a wee bit of inspiration should i choose to save my own...

​Thanks CS!

I say this to every customer that complains to me when there car fails MOT, is it a good car otherwise ? reliability? because people think ooh £300-400 is way to much to fix my car ill buy a new one for £1000 that has loads of issues that are different to mine !!

Quite simply , only you can decide to put the money in , if its a good car then go for it , you unlikely to get another good car unless your adding money to what you get for it !!
