I look after it, I don't drive it how it should be driven and it only seems to get taken out of the garage to go to work 3 times a week up the motorway (when I'm not getting a lift)

So why does it insist on breaking. I want to sell it in a few months but this is an honest story. We all know clio's break, but for some reason we can't quite let go! My clutch went last week and whilst it was at A1 Transmissions in Preston it got new gearbox bearings and a new cable. Thats the 2nd time I've had bearing trouble with the box, but now they've all been replaced...

I'd understand if i ragged the poor thing rotten, however I don't and it still insists on breaking, in the most undramatic of fashions, usually on a Friday afternoon when all's I want to do is go home!

I got it back yesterday and have constantly driven it since as I missed it THAT much lol. The 'box feels so solid, the clutch is amazing and it's a times like these that I remember why I do actually love it, I just wish it would love me and understand how well it gets treated... :lol:

Careful lady owner...Yes
Understanding Car....No

But they still make me do this... :D :D :D :D :D

...Warmed up before setting off etc. We have a love/hate thing going on :lol:
