    Suspension and flat spot

    Not what I had planned after spending 5 grand though. Probably suits someone else perfectly but for me I'm just not sure. Looking on eBay and auto trader - can't see 200s going for under 4500 without being cat d or cat c so may get most of my money back rather fast if that's the route I take...

    Suspension and flat spot

    Any idea how much a remap costs? It's horrible kangarooing all the time. Feel like a learner driver again when in reality it's a combination of the harsh ride throwing my acceleration foot around and flat spot where there's just no power. How easy is it to get hold of standard suspension and...

    Suspension and flat spot

    Thanks guys. Not too sure why, but from my initial viewing and inspection etc - I'm really disheartened with it at the moment. Not sure what I expected tbh. my own fault for rushing in though lol. Right now though I just feel like selling

    Suspension and flat spot

    Hi everyone. So I've finally got my 200 and it certainly needs a few bits doing. I can deal with that, but need to know my best plan of attack. The 2.5k flat spot sucks. Is there a way to combat this, and if so then how? Next - the suspension has been lowered by previous owner. I know nothing...

    No I totally appreciate that and agree fully. I spoke to them today, they've confirmed everything was sorted - including the advisories. Running an online mot check confirms this also as there's now no advisories showing. I'll be making sure when I pay the remaining balance that I see invoices...

    Ok. Anyone who knows any mechanics etc - in my shoes would that be enough to pull the plug on the car? As I do really like it.

    Not so good update - wasn't aware of free mot check services. My mate did a previous mot scan when I got home. Failed on quite a few things. Now the brakes and tyres have been changed - that's clear to see from the website photos to a couple photos I took today. But the rest I've no idea. So...

    Oh. Update. Those pics were taken as soon as they got the car in stock. It's had a proper valet since. Come up mint exterior and above average interior. So looks loads better than online photos

    Hi guys yeah, alloys need a refurb badly and seats will certainly benefit from a full valet but that's all small. I was more concerned with if it had timing belt done and what remaining not was left. Plus I really really loved it with the spoiler and I didn't think I'd afford a 200 either so was...

    Newbie looking for first Clio o.O

    Oh I sure did. Car was filthy unlike photos. Was told after waiting for 20 mins for the guy to show up that it probably won't start cos he thinks battery is flat. Was just parked on a side road opposite a tyre place awaiting two new tyres apparently. Hole in middle of drivers seat not the...

    Yeah I just saw that one. It's got over 40 watchers. What am I missing? I didn't see some crazy deal to warrant all that interest. Yeah @Jimmy i can't find the link now lol

    Thanks again guys. Starting to make sense of it all. Is it just me or is this (albeit high mileage) too good to be true? Price is low considering it's one owner fsh with belt already changed right? Also the white brakes different from the red ones?

    Newbie looking for first Clio o.O

    Ohhh really? I thought the difference was quite big. I've seen a few non cups I instantly dismissed due to not being cup model. Suspension aside - isn't the difference between brakes quite different between the two or not?

    I don't like red cars as a rule of thumb and only reason I'm considering the ebay one was cos the stickers and white alloys offset it a bit. However that blue one is a thing of beauty but want to keep cost down as much as poss. If I could get away with spending 4K or less I'd be over joyed EDIT...

    Good heads up there mate thanks. Haha I'll be slated for this but I really don't mind the stickers And I love the spec. There's that one plus the white one that was mentioned a few comments back I like both

    Great advice. Don't feel like I need to get a 200 now. I am leaning towards the ebay linked one I out on though
