So as some of you will know i have a phase 3 clio dci... 55 plate with 100k miles
Seems my fuel pump has let go... Im being told to expect a 2-3k bill? WTF
Whats the actual costs? What can i check myself to know if its a lost cause? What is it worth as is?

It will cost a fortune. When they go wrong they are a pain in the arse.
Make sure you take it to someone who knows what they are doing or it will never be the same again.

£2k seems unlikely, could have you a whole car for that money.

second hand fuel tank, new fuel filter, might get a few more miles out of it
