No2 son has his beady eyes set on a very cheap 54 plate 1.2 Clio from a friend's dad. I went to give it a once over for him prior to any real negotiations taking place. Very tidy cosmetically despite the high mileage (135k). Downside is that the only record of it ever having been serviced is a receipt from 2008! No stamps in the book other than the PDI from the dealership. It sounds sweet and looks straight and honest though. No chav regalia of any sort (yet). Discs and pads look rough but these are pretty cheap too. So first thing is cambelt and waterpump I suppose. Costly to have done or a DIY job? Access doesn't look too bad and a kit of parts seem cheap(ish). The clutch bites very high so I'm thinking it may be the original so worth doing soon. Again very cheap parts. Any gotchas or should I just stcik it in an independant garage to do the work? Thanks for any advice. JB
