It's nice and easy so long as it isn't seized, if it has the caps on the end it will probably be fine. If it's stubborn then an assortment of plusgas and maybe heat will get them out.  |

There can't be many nice ones left in the UK so that a lucky find. What engine is in it ? I only had a 1.1 and a nasty single point injected Campus so if your is a 1.4 with a carb it probably goes quite well. Fit a GT Turbo or van rear beam and matching front suspension and a set of slightly wider wheels with good tyres and they are a lot of fun. I always wanted to fit a crossflow head and Webers on mine but it didn't happen.

Has it been standing unused for a while, if so it could the water pump. It could also be the alternator or even. Try taking the belt of and just turn it over again it will narrow it down to one of those at least if it stops.
I'd check the antifreeze as well. Nice cars usually get kept in garages and it might be a bit of a shock for it if it's outdoors now.

Whatever mods are done, keep them light and reversible if you're not intending to keep it, you'll get a better return on your investment if it's kept standard on one as tidy looking as that.
The squeal could just be a slipping belt with it being cold and damp at this time of year. Check they're tensioned properly and in good health, replace if necessary, and carry on. Spraying lubricant on the belts is only going to make them slip more and make the problem worse.
It's a bonny little thing and no mistake. Clio wheel trims as pictured in your chop would look infinitely better than the Halfords trims. This might have little Renault centre caps under the trims, they can look quite smart too.
