Pig is my gf's "winter car" - a 1996 Renault Clio 1.2 (1149cc 8v OHC) which cost £300 with six months MOT, 61,000 on the clock.
Timing belt is due at 72K or five years. Reckon the chances it's been done on schedule are slim, so I need to replace the belt. Also need to replace the disks and pads.
So...
Other opinions of Pig are that the fuel injection is the noisiest system I've heard - I'd swear it was tappets, but it's almost certainly injectors :D It seems quite nice. Very little rust.
What, though, happened to cheap mechanics?
Her 2CV is being sent off to be rebuilt - it celebrated by setting fire to some of the odd tar/hessian stuff on the heads.
Richard (that timing belt is going to be expensive, I just know it).
