eBay is a dangerous place
Discussion
Was following this shape clio home tonight it had some very bizarre electrical faults with the indicators seeming to cause brake lights to flash randomly etc...
I had a 172 though and it was bulletproof reliable however so hope its okay for you. The standard models are an okay drive as well it just takes a bit of getting used to the heavy clutch!

Good find, but unnecessary. Meguiars do a great kit (look it up on Amazon, you're a big boy) for about £16. Transforms the lights in an hour or so, which is less time than it'd take to replace the clusters and a third of the price.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-MK2-MK3-01-...

Well the Clio is not going to be a keeper. The basic soundness is there, but there are issues.
1. Knocking on the steering - It's either suspension mounts or a bearing on the steering column. Neither is hugely expensive using our local chap.
2. Indicator does not tick - This is £350 to fix. It's mounted on the car's main board that can't be reprogrammed. So it's a new and dealer only part. Crap.
3. One seat does not fold (not sure if MOT fail or not?).
4, It's bloody noisy.
It's plus points remain the sound engine, and economy. 46 MPG Ave on what is nearly always short cold journeys.
To get through it's next MOT is going to cost more than the car.... So I will move it on. Would make a decent little runner for someone inclined to sort it out.
I'm off to collect a £450 Pug 307 tomorrow As per usual don't know an awful lot about it other than no one else wanted it....

A casual browse on ebay resulted in the £900 e39 523i Touring sitting outside on my drive right now.
Everything works, great car despite having had 6 previous owners.
Yet...........
