    Clio 197 - Engine Written Off - What are my options?

    The old engine is still at the garage. When they get time they are going to strip it down and try to discover why it decided to destroy itself. Why do you ask? Ben

    ***How much is it worth?***

    How much is it worth? Clio Sport 197, 08 plate, 48000 miles, fsh, in black. Unfortunately the engine has decided to put a hole in its block and sump so needs a complete new engine. Im just trying to weigh up my options as to whether I should repair it or sell it as it is.

    Clio 197 - Engine Written Off - What are my options?

    I dont really have the time to break it and cant really be bothered to get into all that messing around. Guessing that will be a more expensive route :) Yes, defo dont want to get into breaking - too much messing around.

    Hey, So I have a Clio 197 (08 plate) with only 48,000 miles and fsh. Last night the engine decided to kill itself and put a whole in the side of the block and sump. Not good, and certainly not expected with a car that has been fully maintained and has fairly low miles. The AA towed me to a...

    PAS Fuild Spewing Everywhere

    Just bringing this thread back from the dead as my clio started doing this whilst out on track on saturday. Has anyone found a reason for the fluid to come out of the top of the tank? Could it just need a fluid change? Ben

    Great save Tony! I must say, I'm loving how retro the little ph1 is looking compared to some of the other cars on the grid. It looks real mean in some of the shots :) Ben
