1995 Renault Clio RL Prima review from UK and Ireland
"Lovely car, but expensive to run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car had a leak from the sump gasket costing a lot of money,
The clutch had to be replaced cost four times that of a clutch in a fiesta Zetec
The car likes to eat brakes, a set of pads every 12,000 the norm
Constant leaks from the sump gasket drain plug
Head gasket needed replacing at 60,000 miles
Brake cyinders neded replacing at 65,000 costing again a lot of money.
General comments?
The car is great to drive and is very responsive, but general repairs cost a lot of money to carry out and makes me wary of buying another on.
