Wiper arms are put on the wrong way.

Why is it a heap

RS Clio 172
NCT 12/14 (Alas no tax which might rule it out here)
€1750

Not sure how troublesome these are but a proper hot hatch, looks like a hoot.

Why would someone need to take them off though and then to put them back on the wrong way, surely they'd notice their error :pac:

As for my heap comment, its just my opinion of it. maybe I was a bit harsh but it looks tired to me and a bit rough looking.

Those JTD engines are well able to handle the miles once looked after which considering the jobs done I wouldn't say was badly taken care of.
The alternator will definitely need changing and they aren't the friendliest of jobs but 3/4 hours and it should be done.
Is it worth 1.3k? IMO yes.
The intercooler also isn't a tough fix, bumper off, pipes unclipped and swap over. 1-1.5 hours max.

Ardennes1944

Aviva will finally quote on me a 172 and 182 now, would have been a nice lpg candidate for my new high miles, would only want a 182 though the exhausts look class

My 1.4 Clio was a nippy little ball of fun, can't imagine what a 172/182 would be like.

Super find.

This time two years ago I struggled to get any interest in a GS300 identical to that one - same year, same mileage, same colour, same condition,full year NCT - ended up letting her off for a grand.
So unless the market for luxobarges has dramatically changed in the intervening period, I think he's being a bit optimistic with his asking.
I'd raise an eyebrow at the mention of the timing belt, but it could just be a slip of the tongue.

They're a brilliant motor, and if ever you get the chance to own one, and can afford it, then jump on it!

Same seller as the E38 a few pages back. He'll take €400 for this.

high spec diesel ****e.

Old diesel

That R19 won't be everyones cup of tea - but great to see its still on the go.

Renault dropped the ball a bit on the RHD version of the facelift* - the left hand drive versions on the Continent got a nicer improved dash as part of the facelift - RHDs kept the original dash - don't know why though.

*the car Kaiser posted is a facelift

Definitely not to everyone's taste, but if I were in the market for a diesel now with a €1k budget, that would be 1st on the list.
