What do you think Ian...shame about the budget tyres ! Small paint flaking/chip under front NS headlight
Unfortunately another one that's miles from me near the South Coast
The tyres would be the least of my concerns... the rear stickers are horrible repro items which means its had the usual work done.
Which in itself may not be terrible but would need careful investigation... and christ what are those pin stripes about.
Looks like another one that could be ok though....
Regards Ian
Forgot about the pinstripes, go faster stripes !
Hi Ian,
This is one of ours at Apsley Cars.
Yes! absolutely horrible stickers aren't they, can you obtain some Genuine Items or know somewhere where I can get some from?
The rear bootlid sticker was fading badly, hence the repro items - and yes, the rear arches will have been done at some point, hence the faded nature of the originals, someones actually lacquered over the original stickers! so it would be quite a job to replace them - but as you say, this, the tyres, and the small chip on the front bumper were the least of my worries when deciding to retail this otherwise solid Clio. We've not long had the cambelt done with a few other bits and it's a genuine example with a meticulous service record to go with it.
Thanks for the interest guys.
Alex
So i decided to go for the 3 and it was this one.
having gone over the car the only thing bodywork wise is the strip!! in the process of getting it off and replacing the stickers. (where can i get a set of stickers) and giving it a full service... engine, gear box and brakes
only issues are
a sticking fuel gauge
boot lock not working
an after market stereo (need a standard one)
broken bonnet restraint
and missing a 3 parcel shelf
it has been fitted with a chip....where would i find where its fitted
First job full service and change all the fluids
What engine and gearbox oil do people use?
Parts all ordered car booked in next Saturday for full service and check over
Engine oil is normally 5W 40
cheers
Either way.. Its all getting changed with fresh fluids for piece of mind as it's been sitting around and hasn't done much milage in the last few years.

Hope this helps.
yes it does.
More of a issue is Renault said they don't change the gearbox oil. So glad im not letting them do the work!!
Car all serviced and given the once over. Two sheared wheel nuts bur all good.
Also put the standard stereo back in..
Roll on next job
Does anybody know the part number or where I can get a drive shaft oil seal. I have a leak where it comes out of the gear box three bolts around the gator

Took out for a spin at the weekend
Yes thanks got the part from them as a precaution. Leak seams to have stopped but am keeping an eye on it
can you scan upload it with the club uploader so we can read it full size?
yes if i knew how to do it lol
Took the car to classic heros today...must have been mad taking it out in the snow. Really good set up down there and very knowledgeable guys. They have given the car a once over and now got some decisions to make.
Tell me about it...got to try and get all the salt off grr
Has anybody got any links for front top mounts ...need to get mine done before the mot cheers
Mot Saturday....fingers crossed
Hi Fresh, firstly good luck with your MOT!! Do you take your CW to classic heros for service/repair? If yes are they any good?? I've thought about using them as they are not far from where I live - but they look v.geared towards BMW - I wasn't sure if they would have a great deal of CW knowledge/experience!!??
Cheers. No i take mine to a local garage. I only went to classic heroes for them to look at restoring it. Very pricey.
They do know their stuff. As thy have worked on a number of williams. Id trust them if you are prepared to pay
So car passed the mot. Few advisorys on the bodywork. Kinda expected that. Will add to the to do list
An other service done. Covered less than a 1000 miles really need to start driving it more.
Ok so as the sun was out decided to get the clio out didn't get very far until the water pump developed a leak..... oh well straight to the garage for more work
After a full body respray. The garage put the stickers in the wrong place. I gave them the location diagram found on here so they put the Williams stickers on as per the diagram and then stuck yhe 3 on at the end. I would have expected the 3 to be offset from the end and the whole Williams move along.
Thoughts please
Hi fresh... these are pics taken from Wilants car which as far as is known has had no paintwork...
Regards Ian
