V6 Owners



  Engles Mummy
Hi All,

Going to be buying a mk2 v6 this saturday and I want to know is there anything I should look out for? I.e Wear & Tear?

It's an 05, 20k miles and looks mint.

Any common problems I would expect with a vee?

Any information would be great.

Thanks, Adam

nothing major, accident damage is the main one, check where the rear arches are bonded onto the original clio metal work (under the rear window and the rear 1/4, and on th insides of the doors)

stone chips on the front bumper is normal, they all do it

the clips holding the under bonet tray in will have probably gone rusty, normal

scrapes on the wheels, these cars are very sensitive to "female driving technique" ;)

gearbox should be tight and notchy, and no funny noises when driving in 1st gear on full lock (diffs were shite on the mk1's)

mechanically the clutch is the weakest point, check for service history, it will have the wrong oil in it more than likley! (renault dealerships)

tyres should be 205/40 18 michelin Pilot sport 2 front
and 245/45 (i think maybe 245/40, can't remember) rear (£700 for a new set remember!)

accident damage is the main thing to look for

Thank you, but lets not get on to that...

Need to the BAD points about the vee.

Cheers, Freddy boy!

Wow, 19 and getting a vee, I'm jealous! Where are you going to view it, I see one in southend for sale last weekend? I've never actually seen one in a dealers before that!
 
  Engles Mummy
It's about a two hour drive, right near the coast. Can't remember the place but it's near Birchinton (or something like that)

Doing down in the evening which is gay, as I want to see it in the sun light! Going to be a wicked drive back home though! Fingers crossed I don't crash it ;)

Actually your both wrong lol

This is the Black one.

The silver one (cat d) I didn't like the look off. Plus the owner said it sold today

Interested to know how you are getting insurance and who with...19 in a Group 20 car should be fairly high, unless of coourse you insure it in someone else's name.

How many years no claims can you have? 1 Max...

I've got 2 years NC & I'm going on my Dads fleet insurance. Still expensive but nothing rediculous!

Going to see it this Sunday morning now! ffs Days are going so slowly!

Good thing is, I'll be able to come to that "final" london meet with the beast.
