She’s broken!!!

[RS-Steve]

Think my clio 172 with 3158 miles on is dead!!

I had to be picked up today by the AA, there all know me now, cos the engine gave up! i was on my way to the NW meet and i lost all power and white smoke started billowing from the rear! Not nice!!

there was oil all in the air intake and the air filter was satchurated in oil!!Im not a mechanic but that to me says a seal of somesort has gone!

I think when it comes back it may be black with an H on the front and Type R written on the rear!!

Not good!

 

[RS-Steve]

no an its not the first probs ive had either!! really really pissed off at the moment!!

 

[Lagerlout]

Dude I feel for you. Not quite as bad, but my car has been scraped by some t0sser whilst it was parked. Gutted. At least yours will be covered by warranty though.

 

[RS-Steve]

Yeah, but ive lost confidence in it now! When i got it the alarm an immob. were faulty an the window seal damaged an now this!!

If somebody had owned up, fair enough. Sh*t happens. Were only human and everyone makes mistakes. Its just that we seem to have a distinct lack of decent human beings in todays society. If the culprit had owned up I would have tried to sort it out with him/her without involving insurance etc. But it looks like its coming out of my pocket now....

SilverRSC - To be honest, I wouldnt blame you if you got rid. I had a 306 whch had all sorts of problems. I nded up writing it off, but to be honest I was probably better off shot of it, before it cost me anymore money.

[tonykart]

trade it for a 182 and smile to the salesman telling him the car was nothing but ..... but still will choose for Renault if they make a nice price....



good luck...

 

[RS-Steve]

really dont know where to go from here, suppose ill have to see wot lambs say 2moz!

 

[Jon1978]

Really sorry to hear that Steve. Jon (jonnyboy) told me about it when he eventually made it to the Trafford Centre.

Id get rid. But play merry hell - Id say that you dont want that car as it is clearly faulty... and dont settle for anything less than at least a new car, or a very good price.

All the best, and let me know what happens

Jon
