    The most unreliable car I have ever owned...

    ... is my Clio Williams... much as I love it.

    Who else like me has absolutely no faith in their car despite how much money they throw at it (waste more like...)?

    ditto, spent £6'800 to be exact on repairs... well, some of it was mods, little over a grand, rest is the car being a pile of poo and breaking on me... constantly!!! GRRRRR!!!!

    It used to upset me, but it's beyond that, not it's making me rage

    No i dont agree. I spend alot because i want it as new. Alot of the stuff ive done to the williams, would be left as a minor inconvenience on a lesser car. I had loads of probs on my Volvo, but i just left them to fester. On a Williams you have to fix things that would normalyy be left.

    Ie

    Engine rebuild - Not necessary
    New claipers - Not necessary
    New tyres - Not necessary
    New track rods - Not necessary
    New Supension - Not necessary
    New springs - Not necessary

    None are MOT failures. Just spend to keep it in tip top condition.

    Just as i will get a new gearbox when i have the spare cash.

    Mine's been dead reliable.

    Just a few things that needed to be replaced that I knew when I bought it, and the crash damage.

    The rest is TLC.

    yeah, something's catching now on the drivers side wheel. it's prolly just minor, but after all the money I have wasted on it i'm getting sick of it now. After FCS i'm gonna start looking at some other cars... nothing deffinite, but I seriously think getting rid will be the best thing I can do...

    I'll get this fixed and it will be something else... it's really annoying me now, 4 months it's spent off the road since owning. Unacceptable really to most peolpe. Think I have done well to stick with it for this long tbh.

    Sometimes it can just be a jinxed example I reckon. I had a BX DTR estate off my mum as my first car.

    Something always went wrong when I drove it but never did when anyone else drove it.

    The final straw was the n/s front tyre coming off the rim at 90 on the m-way.

    Pulled over and a blizzard started, I was on my way to my mates to go out and we were late.

    I got rid after that.
