Damn i bought another Diesel.

Yep as above.

I'm now the proud owner of a 93 Clio 1900 Diesel.

Pics to follow soon but Black some nice wheels tailgate spoiler and the most uncomforable seats i've ever seen.

Plus points are although the 130k miles it has a full dealer service history and 2k of reciepts over the last 24 months

cost 270 quid with 6 months t&t

i'm actually for some reason beginning to think this could replace the cav completely rather than just a winter hack. i want it slammed on some nice wheels and then i'll make my mind up :)

Is it a '93 Oasis? I have the petrol version. Those seats are terrible when driving for more than an hour at a time :-/ and the brakes are a bit pants really.

Thanks! Been reading the group for many a month posted twice I think. Passed my driving test two months ago and still on my first car *grin* already hankering after something a bit quicker and with more 'mod cons'

Ahhhh *embarrassed* - oh well there goes my first ng mistake LOL. Both names begin with R though so I was close!

Anyhow, it's a1.2 1171cc with only 4 GEARS!!! Very strange on the motorway doing 70mph in 4th gear -sometimes feels like the engine will either blow up or drop out of the engine bay

Try doing 80, for 40 minutes. In a 1.2 4speed Skoda 120L (engine out back). It is a very odd experience. At first. then it seems the most natural thing in the world, and you try for 90.

In news: snipped-for-privacy@news.individual.net, NeedforSwede2 decided to enlighten our sheltered souls with a rant as follows

Heh, very similar to the first time you do 140 in a 911... all seems fine until.....

... you run out of fuel...

Twice now I've been caught out by the fuel warning at high speed cruise - suddenly you realise it's time to find a fuel stop - quickly. 170 miles in the rover from full to "bing", 140 in the Volvo... both in germany...

Heh!

The B10 is good for >250 miles/tank at ~140-150mph cruise.

Hamburg - Flensburg, ~140 average, 168+ peak on around 1/3 tank.

40 minutes well spent. :)
