Surely though if the belts were done at 40k, and the car is now on 75k, that it would need the belts done again anyway?

I think all car makes and models have w**ks driving their cars, and nobody on here can say they havnt booted their Clio now and again, it's the main reason you buy a "cliosport". With everything, you'll always find a few idiots in the group.

Maybe slightly over priced, but it has low mileage, I'd be happy with that. You will love it on dry country roads. Just hope you have £500 put aside for repair bills, guaranteed something stops working in the first few weeks! Its a love hate relationship. Hope you enjoy it mate.

Va Va boom....

That is unbelievable, hope you went in and asked to see the manager?!

I had a new mx-5 for a couple of years, and that was £200 a service. £100 is cheap.

Iv owned 8 cars, 2 have been 172's The 2 most unreliable cars Iv owned (that's including a mgf and a mgtf) are both clio's

If the cambelt has been done recently and the car is under £1200 I'd go for it, anything more walk away, you can get decent 2002 for about £2000

Just thought it wasn't the best number plate for a Clio, but then again...lol :) If I see it again I'll get a photo of it.
