Picking up my 156 1.8 T-Spark tomorrow...

.....and I can't wait not only to get into the 156 but also out of the featureless and souless Renault I'm in at the moment. It's the automotive equivilent of a canal barge !!

Here's to enjoying driving....again !!

The dealer I've bought it from has been brilliant and is sevicing it, MOT'ing it, putting a new cambelt in and chucking in 12 months warrenty.

Anything I should be looking out for / should know about this car / engine ??

By the way...Hello !!

A'right.

Make sure the dealer changed the tensioners along with the cam belt, check the oil level weekly and enjoy.

Thanks alot everyone !!

The fuel gauge stopped working about 1 mile after I left the dealership which made me laugh !! The dealer is going to sort it straight away so no drama.
