I went into Renault around 3/4 years ago for my blue r5 GTT and Enquired about a brand new Renault supplied C1J ,

I was expecting something of the thausands ..... But was pleasently supprised with the reply of yes that will be 600 odd pound (Vat Not Inc) I never took them up as :laugh: I dont even know how to fit an Engine ... Haha

But its been a while best part of four years now so Who knows give them a try !

Penfold To be honest I was stunned when Harlow Darlingtons even said they could get one (back then) It amased me , What sort of money passed through the customers hands do you know ?

It was £685+ vat, we all know there not exactly hard to build...

He also told me alot of gearbox's, heads etc you can still buy reconned from renault, but sometimes come back with brand new bits even tho you cant buy them new...

Still technically am a Driving Instructor, but the way my business dried up in Oct/Nov last year i thought it was a good time to wind the business up. I dont mind I am afoster carer now and that allows me the flexiblity to find a job that i want rather than a job for ££'s.

Plus a driving instructor dont make the £30k per year people think it does...:(
