I know it shouldn't...
...but the colour of the brake calipers bugs me when the car is earnestly described as "untouched".

Looks like a great example BTW. :approve:

 

[Williams]

Ditto Kett.

Looks tidy enough though. I wonder if it's known to us?

 

[ColinG]

i wonder why most adverts dont mention the plaque number? its not a big secret is it? :s

looks a nice car, could it be bryans (polesitters) old one?

 

[Jamesv6]

Most likely LINK

 

[Williams]

Well if it is Brian's old car.. it was was in great shape when he had it!!

 

[Brembov6]

Think it is Brian's old one as he had red calipers - nice car. Top notch condition when he had it.

Hum....

In the interest of honesty I will point the following out-

Out of the 75 cars ive sold 316 is the only one ive had a problem with & incidentally the only car ive ever bought from in the trade-

At the time the car was due a service & cambelt- & on that occasion KTEC Racing had bought a car off me ( a monaco blue 172 for racing development )
The day before collection KTEC said they couldnt get a low loader up from bournemouth so could I drop the car off-
Striking a deal with them I took the 172 to KTEC & organised with david to get the belts done on 316 the following week at a slightly discounted price, again KTEC had/have a high reputation on all the clio forums, & the discount was against labour time not reduction of parts used-
I classed KTEC as a higher end specialist-
The belts were done & the following day a full 36 mile service was completed at Renault Orpington- again, this was suplimented by me-

Also pre sale I had the front end sprayed & all the grills recolourcoded black-

So, from being in an average condition vehicle presale I made it to A1 sale standard, I also paid £500 to SG Motorsport before selling for new front disks & pads-
The car was fully checked over & apart from the usual little nicks etc the only issue identified was the A/C had no gas & was leaking from the unit on the undertray which was a common problem & scott said it would be ~ £200 to complete-
Because the time was short the car was discounted this price & sold as A1 condition barring the A/C-


4 weeks later whilst in Belgium the belts snapped on the new owner- he had it towed back to Renault Orpington & asked me to sort it out- The owner was a bit 'unhelpful', & initially KTEC were making noises to the tune that the warranty was invalid due to the car being sold-

So, I took the decision to pay £460 to Renault Orpington ( I still have the reciept ) to strip the down to diagnose the problem,KTEC was unhappy about this, however to this day I still feel I made the right decision-
Renault diagnosed a poorly tightened Central Idler pulley


Ive have just gone through my email

can be taken through him-

SENIOR RENAULT MASTER TECH PHIL MOULDER
REPORT: Stripped out timing belt covers & interior to investigate reason for timing belt Snapped.
Found Timing belt to be completely shredded ( unable to determine if new belt fitted) found alternator belt was old.
Found top idler pulley between the heads retaining bolt hanging out & idler loose-
Extensive damage to timing cases-
Would reccomend replacement engine, unable to determine if lower engine damaged-" UNQUOTE

After this the Clio was trailored to KTEC where they replaced / repaired the car to a standard that was acceptable to them & the new owner-


I cant remember what the mileage was when I sold it, however the owner has had it for 2 years & I am guessing done over 10k ish, so its certainly been repaired fine & has been ok since- which ultimatly was my aim in the first place- as is my aim in any selling any car-
I am glad however I paid renault for that strip down-

I believe the car is now being sold by a dealer- maybe on behalf of the old owner- whether its worth that price is debatable-

however at least you have some coverage of the history

Steve @ R-Sport

Hi Steve,



OK, our usual cost for the services are as follows:



Clio V6 supply and fit cambelt kit £545+vat



Supply and fit water pump at the same time as changing the cambelt £118+vat



Total of £663+vat which is £762.45.



To you we could do this for £560 all in and we would need the car for nearly a full day.



Let me know what you would like to do.



Best regards,



David Kirk
K-Tec Racing Limited

IIRC I spent a fortune on this car to get it to standard-

£550 Belts
£330 Renault Service
£500 Disks + inspection SG
£600 Respray
~2k

I was 100% gutted when the belts went, however pleased that I could rectify the problems-

Since then I would only use one of the following 5 specialists:

SG motorsport
Birchdown Auto Services
BTM motorsport
Carlton Cars
SMC Renault Chertsey
