Possibly, really unsure as I love driving it everyday. Fuel is possibly a bit much for me at the moment on my apprentice wage! Costing me just under £200 a month. As said it is possibly as I do love it so I would have it up for a fairly steep price and wouldnt sell for less so.. we'll see

Erm I do a good 35 miles a day, probably 15 of them motorway. My mpg thing says 33.7mpg. I never thrash it as such but some fun. Filled it up on Sunday night and have used just under 1/3 a tank already but I have done probably 100 miles ish, maybe a bit more.

Went to drive to work yesterday, reversed off the drive fine, selected 1st and then there was just no drive  just an awful grinding noise
My guess is the driveshaft has come out of the gearbox - being recovered this morning and then to the mechanics

Unlikely the shaft is just going to fall out of the box

Yeah i know, i had same on my 1.2 and thats what it was due to a hole in the bit which holds the gearbox oil
The mechanic reckons the internal spring on the driveshaft ? or something, and if that has gone into the box i will need a new box

Driveshaft issue got fixed that day.
Had x2 Toyo Proxes T1Rs fitted on Thursday, feels planted and happy with them for £120 fiited. All the better as well as I got the tracking done.
Getting it detailed on Monday by Moxy, pics to follow.
Next thing to do is get 2 average rear tyres as they are a little low and sort out this rubbing/grinding noise from the rear right wheel. Sounds similar to a gone bearing or rubbing brake.

Had to be a bus wanker today car is getting new brake pads all round, hopefully solve the grinding noise.
Trying to maintain this 100% and make sure there are no little niggles, otherwise they build up and you end up hating the car - as i did with my VTR

If it comes out of the stupidly designed oil seal cum gaitor, then you'll ditch gearbox oil. Pain in the arse that is on the JC5

Oh no, that didnt have on this clio. That was on my 1.2 ph1. The issue on this the driveshaft cv gaitor and the driveshaft bearings.
