Renault Clio 1.2 16V!
Discussion
Hello everyone,
For the last four years I've been driving an X reg, 1.4 petrol, Peugeot 206. During my time with the car it broke down on numerous occasions, needed new fuel injectors, a whole new radiator (as the bottom rotted out of the original) and a new clutch to name just a few fixes.
By the end of its life, the radio refused to go beyond 10 on the volume and the second I turned it up to drown out the creaking, knocking and squealing noises coming from the rest of the car it would immediately turn itself back down.
The final straw came when I lost all drive in any gear as I rolled onto a roundabout. The engine revved, but no go. Que me pushing it off the roundabout (with my girlfriend steering) and into a ditch a hundred metres down the road. Needing a new gearbox and due a cambelt the costs were just to high.
So the 'new' car! I needed something to get me through the summer months, be reliable and cheap to run. The local garage I took my old car to had just had this in and after some thought I jumped at it. I know I could have probably got a better badge, more car and more power for the money, but the garage is very reputable and the condition of the car is very good!
Here it is:
The bodywork is in really good condition with just some light scratches on the back bumper, no dents. The alloys have only very minor curbing and the engine is surprisingly 'peachy' compared to the Peugeot. It feels very planted on the road and the build quality is far better IMO. Got no plans for it accept to try to get rid of the scratches and keep it in the best shape possible.
