What sort of issues? Mrs is looking at getting one for elderly parent taxi duties.

All routine stuff, the petrol engines are essentially sound, but there is always something, leaks, creaks, failing bearings etc etc. Get a Jazz I think. However, if it's a couple of thousand miles a year a Fusion will be ok I expect.

 

Access is really good.

Here's another bloke who finds buys nice cars at auction and then writes a load of twaddle about them...

Honestly, I would much rather read the Hoseley thread than this pish.

What a load of flowery, birthday card shite.

i think water pump has gone as water leaking from somewhere and temp goes into red and change water sensor to no luck
 
engine light is on because of dpf filter but does not affect driving
 
abs and traction light on because of sensor driver wheel needs replacing but does not affect driving
 
dont have back box on but does come with back box
 
has cracked in windscreen

 

Fuck me, anything else?

 

 

in good condition

 

Yeah sounds a total minter pal

Heuliez?

 

I wonder if this was a late conversion done to alleviate the difficulty in finding a spare rear windscreen. All the glass in a standard Bijou is apparently specific to the car, and is not shared with any other model.

They were only made in Slough and sold in the UK  so Heuliez getting involved in a one off is unlikely ...(just saw your post a bit further down the page already confirming where they were made!)

 

I think Barratts suggestion is probably how it came about.

That's an early(ish) 1.4, not many left at all now. I miss my 1.2, that was a hoot! 1.4 wasn't bad if the oil way's didn't clog and wreck the camshaft.

My parents had a dark red P reg 1.4 one of them in from about 2000-2005. I learned to drive in it for two weeks, just as they had put a deposit down on a Ronnie Pickering mobile, which replaced the Brava.

Anyway, the Brava was ace. It had the massive speedometer just like that one (base spec, yo! No tachometer for you!) and the cassette deck lid flips up on springs in a needlessly complex way, but it was ace fun anyway.

I have put Bravas/Bravos/Mareas on my next daily list when the Stilo conks it. Ideally a 2.4 JTD of the latter but I'm not overly fussy...

I even remember the advert when Fiat released the Bravo/Brava. Bloody loved it. I remember seeing them as a kid wanting to have one when I was older. The 3 door still looks as good as it did to me all those years ago.

Oh I'd forgotten about that Brava / Bravo cassette deck.  The mechanism was nearly always the first thing that broke

 

Did Marea get the same, can't recall.

Who doesnt like a basic Mk1 Clio? Such a neat design, and quite rare now eh, specially in pre-facelift format. Who styled these?

 

Jean-François Venet at Renault design studio A

 

Granted, a commissioned Pininfarina design from 1986 obviously influenced it, but Giugiaro not credited.  Perhaps because patriotic and proud frenchmen.

 

M. Venet can also be blamed for 25, Twingo, Laguna, Vel Satis; amongst others.  RIP.
