Yeah can see it. Not really a fan of the colour to be honest. Nice car though. Cheers for the advice. And yeah I'm kind of getting a bs filter with every car I see at the moment after they've told me it's the best in the country!

Cheers chaps. I don't intend limiting my search to be honest. Just been to look at a lot using the words "mint" and "all belts done" and when I've gone the belts were done 7 years ago and every panel is battered. Just seeing if anyone had spotted any. And yes I think I will join properly.

Hi all. i joined a while back when I was looking for a 172. But circumstances changed and I had to give up on the dream. Just curious if anyone has spotted any Clio 172's in the lancashire (bb9) area for sale that are in half descent nick for a 2k budget? I've looked at A LOT of sheds! That...

Yeah I've seen this and it looks well. It's also good to know when someone's taken pride in it. I think I'll arrange a look. Thanks for that.

Thanks for the observation. I wouldn't have noticed that.

Well the car sold before my test drive. :( Any of you got time to glance at this one? http://www.my-autos.co.uk/used-cars/renault-clio-2-0-16v-renaultsport-172-3dr-keighley-201315509372256 Any opinions would be helpful, just unsure of the full service history, part history comment :/ but...

Ahhh right. No not yet as I was going to wait until the test drive before I got all serious about it. Second hand car buying is stressful! Ha ha. It's easier buying new. Just the damn aygo doesn't set the world on fire, but saves me cash! Ha ha

​cheers. I will look into this one also. :)

Well just been for a gander and it seemed pretty good. I had a really good look under the bonnet for signs of damage and overspray but didn't spot any. (Which doesn't mean it hasn't I know)There was a huge file on all work carried out for belts, clutch etc even minor things had receipts, which...

Once upon a time I would have done this, but don't want my 5 year old to have hearing problems later in life! Ha ha. I used to have a vauxhall Nova as my first car and that was stupid loud. It was like when your ears ring after being in a club afterwards!

Cheers for that. Is it ok sounding? Don't really want a stupid loud thing. Ha ha

I'm sure it said belts done less than 10k ago. Might be wrong though as I've looked at so many! Ha ha. Are mounts not an easy ish job for some firmer ones? And I know what you mean about spelling! I won't build my hopes up, but another test drive under the belt. Thanks for all your help guys.

I'm pretty much expecting goosed thumb grips on any in my budget, but I'm going to have a gander. Is the scorpion stainless exhaust a good system? The thing that attracts me is clutch, cambelt, exhaust etc done. BUT I'll take the fine tooth comb with me.

Does this sound too good to be true? http://www.blackburnsvscentre.co.uk/used-cars/renault-clio-2-0-16v-renaultsport-182-3dr-blackburn-201317511577713 ​Sounds like its had pretty much all of the big jobs done that I'm aware of.

Cheers. I'll have a look. Not a massive fan of the ph1 shape, not sure why. :/
