Yeah, I am sure there's ones with higher mileage. I'm pretty pleased though as I still cane it every day.

Mine would have hit the 200k easily by now if it was still a daily driver.

lol. You'd be amazed. I sold my Trophy all in for just over £4k.
It had 186k miles.

How do the clios drive at 150+? Maybe a silly question
Mines on 105k now and i dont plan on selling it. Will it be good to go forever as long as its well serviced etc?
Mine is on just under 140k and it drives the same, if not better now than it did when I bought it on 45k.
Clio 172 Phase II
Yea, it drives pretty much the same as it did before. I have a very slight 2nd-3rd gear crunch when cold and changing at low revs but it goes away when up to temperature but it's been like that since 75k or so. I still drive it the same and bounce it off the rev limiter every now and then. It's been serviced pretty regularly. All the belts and stuff have been done when specced, etc. Apart from the massively kerbed wheels and flaky steering wheel, you wouldn't notice any difference between this car and a newer/lower mileage one.

Original box/clutch then?
Clio 172 Phase II
yeah. Although a lot of my miles were commuting 100 miles a day on the motorway so the clutch wasn't in massive use a lot of the time. I would say a lot of cars at 150k had probbaly had a new clutch.

most cars should be like that if serviced/looked after properly.

Good stuff. I noticed a slight whine at 130k so had a gearbox recon done, at the same time I had a new clutch fitted (it was still spot on mind)

Cool- I probably would anything to keep it going, even now. My biggest ever spend was on a new cat one MOT and a load of odd suspension bits. I have had some good, good times in it and love my car and want to keep it going. Although having said that, I keep finding myslef trawling ads for Ignis sports....
Clio 172 Phase II
....biggest spend apart from the belt changes, that is.

I'm no mechanic so my knowledge is limited but I had my gear oil changed and it certainly made SOME difference. You could try that first. My mechanic said that there was big clumps of congealed crap that came out of gear box.

Extra wear and tear with doing road rallies in it, takes a beating to be fair and takes it in its stride. Hillclimbs and sprints next I think.
Maybe try this before i do anything with the box itself then, thanks alot for the advice

Ha how did you manage to get that?
