Just forked out £500 on my clio

[dannyboy172]

And i wish i something great to show for it!!!

The original Rad gave up the ghost at the begining of the week, so needed a new one. The rads are a pain to replace, whole bumper off type job!!! Nice one renault! lol

the brakes where fooked so decided to replace 'em with the greenstuff YS kit which is awesome, it was due a service so had that done too.

All in all a lot of cash....but hey whatever it needs it gets.

Exhaust will be due in the new year, the second OE one is blowing like a biatch at the rear box!

Will the expediture ever stop....i'm guessing not! lol

The Phase 1's can do it bumper on.

The bar-stewards!! lol

It doesn't help that the AC stuff is attached to the Rad and screwed on towards the car, no choice really, the thing had to come off. The car looked quite mean with the bumper off tho! :evil:

Yep that funny got to admit Renault have a good sence of humour.

Just be gald you've not got a dci with an intercooler infront as well.

How come it was £500 though brakes £200 then £1350 or so for a radiator?

The prices:

Rad: £145 from Renault
Brakes: £170 inc P&P from YS
Service: £75
Labour + consumables: £120 - Don't have the nounce/time to do it myself

for everything the car was in the garage for a whole day, spread across two days, service and rad/brakes done on different days - part availability

Aye, but needed to be done

Can't be driving around with a sh1te Rad and brakes lol

least you havent gotta fork out 550 quid excess and 60 quid for a new window regulator, because of someone elses stupid driving :banghead:

What mileage is your car on, im gna flog mine at around 50k before most of these dramas occur.

 

[dannyboy172]

74k

Up til now its been trouble free!!

**touches wood**

 

[Fletcher]

Are you keeping her now then Danny?

 

[dannyboy172]

Aye...

I can't justify changing at the moment, i want to, but i'm not pepared to get myself debted up for a car. The missus' car is due a change next. So i'll be having a serious influence in what we buy!! :evil: lol

Plus if its her car, the miles will be kept low and i get to use it as a weekend thing.
