Redsquirrel Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 80,000 miles though? quite a lot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee R Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 80,000 miles though? quite a lot... That's what I was thinking, and lets be honest, it'll be 80000 hard miles. Nobody has a car like that for driving slow. Marc, hold out for a low miler mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m888arc Posted October 17, 2002 Author Share Posted October 17, 2002 true i can understand wot u r saying, but the major service with cambelt change (engine out jobbie) is done at 72k.......and its had that done, new gear box which goes around 80k so its only the clutch i need to worry about. it seems a sound car, also got FSH!?! PS a black 1995 clio is VERY rare beleive me, iv been looking for about 2 months, and only seen 1 or 2 with this reg year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
