The time came

[Gaygle]

Finally! Well played.

Seems like a good price for a '54 plate car

I'm shocked at the huge lack of epic failure in this thread. It is most pleasant.

That said I do remember we all said '182' MONTHS ago and you rejected it. See, we are always right

 

[MikeHiow]

You were mostly right, yes. After spending more than 20 minutes with one, it is a lot better than I thought. The price makes it for me though, as I obviously had to cut my budget with my employment situation, but I've managed to mostly avoid cutting my expectations with this.

What's the state of the interior after 130k?

 

[ScarySquirrel]

When was the full belt kit last done Mike?

 

[Skeeter]

OMG!

MikeHiow bought a car!

OMG again!

Its a 182! Good choice!

OMG again again!

Cheap 182 is cheap! Thats less than I paid for a 172 12 months ago!!!

And before you start asking, Ferodo pads, Brembo discs, Braided lines, new brake fluid, Foam filter or V6 airbox, Whiteline ARB, Eibach Sportlines or coilies, refurbished steering wheel, no PE3's aren't out yet, £10 Skoda splitter, and yes the electrics suck.

Would you dare redline(you know what i mean..) a Renault engine at 130,000miles?

(Fox and you're 2million mile BMW - Yes I know you would )

Yes?

 

[merlin]

It's a car engine not a 50cc moped lump, plus fatigue worries are so 1960's.

I know, I'm a child of the 60's and I always feel tired right up to the moment I want to sleep.

 

[Will Gill]

surely there is a catch here?!

I'm genuinely shocked that so far there has been no gotcha!!

enjoy

Feel the pain.

Twice so far today my office phone has broken my sleep.

It's a write-off.......in case you didn't know.

What difference do the miles make?

 

[Skeeter]

For those wondering, I would expect the interior of a 130,000 mile Clio to rattle and squeak just as much as a zero mile Clio

 

[Peerzy]

All about the condition of the engine/car, not mileage.

 

[mattyprice4004]

I have nearly 200,000 miles on my engine, and that's turbocharged.

Stop worrying.

 

[Howard]

I have nearly 200,000 miles on my engine, and that's turbocharged.

Stop worrying.

I'd worry if I were you.

Stop worrying.

And it probably leaks more fluids than Katie Price.

Somewhere around the 75k mark, it's due around now and will be done by next week.

Brakes are first on my list after belts and dephaser. I'm more than happy with the suspension and the original splitter is in place and in one piece/good condition

(Fox and you're 2million mile BMW - Yes I know you would )

It's going to spend a lot of time near the redline and it doesn't worry me in the slightest.

It's a write-off.......in case you didn't know.

No it isn't.
