I have got myself a new car!
Not quite what you were expecting eh? Well, I wouldn't believe whats written in the title either tbh..
It's actually a clio 172, in black.
74000miles
2003
cam belt and aux belt done recently
Clutch done @ 72k (can't find a receipt though, hmm)
Going in for a service and a check out at Ren-Tech in Portsmouth Friday, this car is not being bodged/cheaped/any other variation.
Kinda learnt from the ZS if I want hassle, spend less
plan is to get the car up there, find out what needs sorting, sort it and get it mechanically sound.From my VERY limited knowledge I have a really horrible feeling the dephaser pulley is going to need doing its not massively noisy I don't have anything to compare it to though, this is a big job as you have to do the aux and cam belt again
£600 to be exact!Needs new tyres by the looks of it, possibly new rear discs, get the service light turned off and get some wiring for drivers seat airbag to get the airbag light off.
Its got a couple of key marks, there very light though I actually think a detailer might be able to get them out so i'll give that a go next year sometime, but right now, not bothered tbh.
Has a longlife exhaust which isn't loud at all which is awesome! Induction roar is louder which is cool. Also rear tinted windows.
All in all, 70 mile drive home and i'm quite impressed, interior is actually a really nice place to be and I enjoyed the drive! I need to put my stereo in in the morning though as having no music makes me really sketch out at every little noise in the car! I am a worry wart.
Will give it an awesome wash in the morning
and put up some pictures! Bit of an essay this eh.
