Clio 1.8 16v in 449 Blue. 113k miles on the clock, lots of history and loads of recipts. Has 6 months tax and 12 months MoT
In the past year that I've owned I've spent a lot on it trying to get it back to near enough mecnicaly sound as I can and keeping it on the road lol.
In the past 10,000 miles (1 year) it's had:
New clutch
New Renault cambelt kit (inc idlers and tensioners)
Reconditioned PAS pump at a cost of £170 before fitting
Brand new Valeo altenator costing £107
Genuine recon Renault driveshaft
New genuine clutch cable
New GSF lowering springs
All fluids replaced
New Bosch battery
New ARB's
New balljoints
New genuine gear knob
New centre section
New KTec de-cat
New rocker cover gasket
New genuine Renault dogbone mount
Bonnet resprayed
New number plates
Genuine R19 'extra' mount (read to be)fitted
Toyo Proxes on the back and some budget low profiles up front.
Service booked is stamped upto around 75k miles and then shed loads of recipts there after.
Interior is standard and pretty clean for the age. A few bits of wear and tear but nothing serious and better than average.The only mods it has are 15" Oz Super T's and it's lowered 35mm front about 50mm at the back. The exhaust is a pattern standard effort.
The car starts every time, even in cold weather and when left for a week or so so it's great in that respect and it does drive nicely and pulls well. I've serviced it before the service schedules and very psuh the car.
It does have a few bad points though, the main one being a small oil leak. I've never fully worked out where it's coming from but it's very slight and the car doesn't require any more frequent topping up than the 1litre per 1000 miles that Renault recommend. I'm being honest as if I deemed it a problem I would get it sorted but I just keep an eye on the oil level.Does also have a few bits of rust but I'll probably get them sorted before I sell.

Pics are when the car is clean btw lol
Looking in the region of £1500 or near offers. Might swap for a 106 GTi though.
Cheers.
