Have you got a link to the sale?

Buying a car is a lottery.

You either get a friday afternoon car or a monday morning car,that's the way it is

Yes,could it just be a loose wire?and will it need reseting by renault?

Mine did this when i got it, airbag and service come on simultaniously, wigled the wires under the seats and they went out.

Providing it has FSH and has had the belts done then it should be fine. Check that it drives ok and the box is in a decent condition and you will be fine.

You could say the same about people crashing bud.

You hear tons of stories about people writing off various cars (or atleast I seem to do) tons on the net, but in reality how often do you see crashes severly bad on the roads?

ive had 2 non RS clios and one RS clio....

both non RS clios had a gearbox change in under a years ownership by me
one had a new engine in that time too.

my RS has never needed anything apart from an exhaust and wear and tear parts. and ive owned it twice as long as the others and done twice the millage!

But the flip side could be a detonated airbag computer, which will need replacing = ££££££
