I see from the "News" columns at the side of this forum that Renault are about to unleash a new improved Laguna upon the world. I wonder if the total number of sales in the UK will get into double figures this time.
IThe Mk1 seemed to do pretty well, and there still seem to be quite a few Mk2s around; but how may Mk3s do you ever see? The fact that the bodywork appeared to be stuck-on flat plastic panels probably didn't help... Read more
my windows only open /close intermittently, is there a masterswitch and if so where is it? Read more
Thanks for the advice, where do we find the window power relay, you are talking to amateurs!
I have just purchased a 2007 BMW as above with 32K on the clock; when I stop in "drive" at say traffic lights the car starts to move about like the engine is misfiring or somebody is pushing the car from side to side, if I put it in "neutral" it stops.
I have just parted with a 2007 320d auto with 25K on the clock and this car had just started doing the same thing but not as pronounced.... Read more
I'm thinking of making Bio Diesel, see http://yorkshiregreenfuels.co.uk/index.asp
I have a spare garage and can get the used oil OK. If I do it according the their instructions, adding 15-20% Methanol and 0.08% Sodium Hydroxide ( Caustic Soda, ok be careful ) Will it work?... Read more
Even on these older cars it can cause failure of the pump seals which will likely cost more to repair than you have saved.
Hello forum readers,i am sure this subject has been mentioned before.Read a article that lots of people driving around with poor eyesight and not wearing spectacles.I don't know how they got the information but it makes me wonder how many accidents are caused by poor eyesight.I wear glasses and always have a spare pair in the car with me in case i damage the ones i am wearing.

I beleive it's a legal requirement to drive on dipped headlights when raining and wipers in use(not parking/sidelights),but most seem to ignore this no matter how poor the visability.
Does anyone know about the fuel cut off swich on this vehicle please Read more
ver the weekend I had the joy of some one damaging my wing mirror. Consequently the folding mechanism motor is broken and the mirror is being held on with tape!
Peugeot have quoted a very large amount for a new one to be fitted. buying one online is much cheaper, but I am wondering if anyone has experience of fitting a wing mirror on this car and any instructions on how to do so, or where to find the information on this.... Read more
I thoroughly cleaned the interior & carpets of my 2002 Polo at the weekend. Since doing so, the ABS warning light is on permanently from start up.
Is it likely that I have accidently loosened a connection? If so, where should I be checking? Failing that, what's my best course of action to keep costs to a minimum?... Read more
The electronics for the Abs system are under the bonnet.However the connectors for the rear wheel sensors are under the back seat.Is it possible they have been disturbed when cleaning?hth
I have a Nikon D50 digital SLR which has been left unused for approx 6 months, and there now appears that there is a problem with the shutter release button not being activated when pressed.... Read more
The standard camera service and repair price(i.e. the one charged, regardless of the problem) seems to be half the camera's cost. Having been bitten once, I gave the camera to Oxfam (with a note of warning) and bought a new one.
i was recently hit by an oncoming vehicle who was overtaking several parked cars on her side of the road. She was considerably over the centre of the road even though she could have safely moved nearer to the parked vehicles. The single carriageway road is wide enough for 3 average size vehicles to pass safely. She is claiming that I am partly at fault even though I was as close to the curb as I could go without hitting it. Who is at fault? Read more
Judge - "Now then Miss, when did you first notice you were injured?"
Accident victim - "A couple of weeks after the accident when the nice solicitor said I could make a few grand if I said I was!"
I take your point. The Mk1 Laguna was a decent workaday car in my eyes although I dislike French cars. Everything else that came after were disastrous cars by all accounts.
