When Will It End... :(

[bmh.01]

This month is officially a bad car month :dapprove:, first an oil seal fails in the gearbox ruining the clutch and prompting me rebuilding the gearbox and fitting a new clutch.
Then the sump plug starts leaking so I changed the washer, filter and oil, then the dipstick starts leaking so replaced that yesterday and it seemed to have stopped.
Today I find that now the f**king oil pressure sender is leaking too! Grrr .

Me and this car are at breaking point, its an 03 this shouldn't be happening and i'm getting quickly fed up of what seems like problem after problem after problem. Anything else and its going and i'm getting a yaris tsport which I should have bought in the first place, feckin renaults !

Not having the best of luck then fella, never mind LUCK on the brightside

 

[shaun_cliosport]

a bad clio outta the bunch it sounds like

Gutted for you mate. Nothing worse than constantly fixing a car - i've been there with a pug!!

Hope you sort out the recent prob and let that be the end of it!

 

[bmh.01]

Just (hopefully) sorted the sender, just got to let the sealent go off and heres to hoping it doesn't do anything else.
Its been fine up until this and it still makes me smile but by god is it pissing me off this month.

Lets hope its on its best behavour from now on.

Hopefully its back to normallity for you now then?

 

[bmh.01]

Heres hoping, the sender was loosish and didn't have any sealent on it so it should be ok after this I hope, my 1.2 was 1 1/2 years older and took way more abuse than this has without ever breaking once and I put 20k on it in the 10 months or so I had it.

 

[Clio 1.216v Dynamique]

did a lot of driving in your old 1.2 then

 

[bmh.01]

Yep did some miles in the old girl wherever it is now, just like driving and seem to be able to rack loads of miles up way to easily.
Got this one on 30th March with 25k on and its got 29k on it now, trying to keep the miliage down this time.

 

[Clio 1.216v Dynamique]

Yes the 1.2 are good cars for such a small engine it feels like its not underpowered which you expect a small engine to struggle

 

[bmh.01]

Yep, there good cars, not underpowered for the size of the car just not a rocketship.
Would have kept it but just had 1yr ncb burning a hole in my pocket and the syncros on 1st and 2nd were getting a little clunky so decided to get a 1.6, hopefully should be able to get a 172/182 next march or so.

Mines a first car, Hoping to get a Astra SRI 1.8 16V next the new sort when I'm about 21 always wanted an SRI
