Arrrgh! A ferkin Clio? I HATED mine... Had an M plate 1.9 diesel and was soooo happy when someone decided to cut across a crossroads in front of me and write it off.

 

Bottom ball joints, track rod ends, exhaust, brake discs, wheel bearing, pads, handbrake adjusters not working, cracked coolant bottle, throttle cable snapped on M1 in the rush hour in the fast lane, heater plugs about three times and used to go through front tyres both inside and outside edges no matter how I drove it every three months. And all this in two years.

 

Apart from that it was great ;)

 

I will never, NEVER buy a French car again as long as I live!

 

Still, good luck with yours Stella, I'm sure it will be fiiiine... :P

there a bit shit for head gaskets! i had to swap the engine in caz's one

luckily my bro in law is a senior tech at the local renault garage, worst case scenario, new engine, pulled straight over when i noticed the temp gauge and when it produced plumes of smoke lol, sohopefully no major damage

the joys of buying second hand motors, luckily i gt it cheap, still going to be a cheap little motor if its just head gasket

the engine was fine just head gasket went. i had a spare car so swapped engines as i wanted to change the clutch rad and stuff anyway. soo i have a head if yours is fooked mate :D

oooh, nice one mate, cheers gaz

 

as said it was booked in for the timing belt and general service, so its just a few extra quid to get the head gasket and what not replaced. tis a tidy little car
