[QUOTE="Didge3, post: 159743, member: 3216"] Thanks for the reply :) I don't think small engine = won't do many miles is true. I am concerned about head gasket and clutch, I doubt the gearbox will have any issues unless Renault made them from wool, gearboxes on low powered cars generally last a very long time. Its just had cambelt etc changed at its last service, all done at Renault again. I'm not sure on lifespan of turbos since I've never owned anything with a turbo but I'd assume a low boost one fitted to a Twingo is slightly less likely to go wrong than a crazy high boosting setup. I've never owned a Renault, I've had 3 Fiats, all of which have done me surprisingly well, only now is my £800 Panda starting to go wrong and that has 98,000miles and is 21 years old. Its gearbox and clutch are still fine, head gasket was done at about 80k miles. I would expect a much newer car than my 1992 Panda to last longer, the Panda is still going to be honest, little things just keep breaking and I'm a bit fed up with it. [/QUOTE]
