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.

It's fine, mine did that, every time you put your foot down White smoke/steam appeared, it's just the hot air coming out the exhaust and hitting the cold air.

Is it White smoke or blue smoke?

Iv had mixed experiences buying private, always take a mechanic friend with you, or do a AA health check on it. And you must must MUST do a full hpi check on it, it's worth spending an extra £100max doing checks, than a month down the line buying a lemon. If you do buy from a garage, buy from a...

Iv just sold my second 172 and got a 2006 Hyundai coupe! I was so fed up with the 172, every month something else seemed to break on it, I just wanted something reliable. Though there is nothing better than a fully working 172 on a quiet dry country road :)

Just left ayr and saw it, it was a 2002, loved the exhausts at each side of the bumper

Is it just me, or does the bonnet look a slightly different blue from the wing?

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.

My 172 does this aswell, though not all the time, just thought it needed to click back into place once you've let someone in the back tbh

Black with grey cup alloys- fact! :)

Im guessing it will sell really quickly, I'm 10mins from prestwick airport if that's any help,lol.

Mine needs to be sold by Saturday http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/2365926.htm

Just aswell you didn't have a passenger on board, they would have sh*t themselves!!!

Have you had an accident in the last 3 years that wasn't your fault.....

Time to get a big comfy rover 75? Pipe and slippers? Lol! Just joking! My mate has a 172 cup, and I don't find it much harder than my full fat 172 tbh.

I'm looking at a car that is a 52 plate, 59,000 miles, FSH, did the hpi check and everything was fine, except it had 9 previous owners, just found this odd? Or is it just me? Car looks mint, not even a stone chip. What do you all think?

Lol brilliant englebert

Re: ***How much is my car worth?*** Why is no one interested in my car??? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2254399.htm I made it £2999 for a quick sale, yet very little intrest, wrong time of year?

Pimp my ride?! Lol

Cool I got it wrong, all the late 172's I'd seen had cruise, I just thought it was standard tbh.

The 53 and 04 plate 172's have cruise control as standard

Put your parents on your insurance, your still the main named driver. It saved me a couple of hundred every year, not much but it helps. Also try bell car insurance, iv always found them pretty cheap

I like mine being standard, though thinking of getting it lowered slightly. But at least once a month something breaks, my old 172 was the same, but I thought I had just got unlucky,lol.
