1994 Renault Clio Williams 2 review from UK and Ireland
"A high performance hot hatch, but be prepared for a big spend on parts cost"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gearbox broke at 110,000 miles.
Alarm fault traced to poor factory wiring for UK spec alarm.
Electrical fault rendered car unusable - traced to corroded electrical connector in relay box.
Rear tyres seem to wear unevenly without explanation.
Engine now rebuilt as pistons were worn out & valve seats - not bad for 245000 miles though!
General comments?
I am lucky that I can do all the work myself otherwise this already expensive to maintain car would have cost a phenomenal amount.
Don't get me wrong though, it's a great car and has proved pretty reliable considering its high mileage.
Clutch is very heavy & would be tiring for some female drivers.
