• New Grand Vitara - any engine issues? 22 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Morning folks I am just about to commit to a new Suzuki Vitara 1.9 DDIS but have one last niggling doubt, after I found out that Renault manufacture the DDIS engine that Suzuki have opted for. The latest X-trail DCI engines (Renault) seem to have real issues to the extent HJ has now withdrawn his recommendation, and it's fair to say that their own cars seem to suffer higher than average reliability issues.

• The curse of the cat 2 May 2003 (Forum)
  I blame the wretched catalytic converter for most of the current raft of problems that inflict many of today`s cars, due mainly to the complication of electronic monitoring sensors (E.C.U`s) to control fuel/air ratios. There gas been much discussed recently (and justifiably) about the unreliability of the new Renault Laguna, but pre-cat models, like the Renault 4 and 5 were extremely reliable, and capable of 150k mileages without too many problems. At the end of the day, I question the true need for cats & their miniscule impact on the environment, but reckon the manufacturers are making a fortune out of us, the every-day motorist, by charging exhorbitant prices for replacement E.C.U`s.!!!!
• kangoo mph/1000rpm 2 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  Has anyone got any ideas about mph per 1000/rpm for a renault kangoo.I have just bought the vehicle and I would like to run it in as per honestjohns advice page.It is a 1.9 normally aspirated diesel.I have tried contacting renault through websites and their help line(hopeless call centre)i have put a technical request in at the supplying dealer but I feel it will have 5000 miles on the clock by the time they get back to me.The handbook says it does 90mph at 4500 rpm ie top speed,do you think I could assume that it does 20mph/per 1000rpm in top.Any help would be appreciated.

• Renault 2.2dT - Glow Plug Change 22 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  The Renault service schedule says that the inlet manifold needs to be removed to change the glow plugs, as does the Haynes manual too. This makes it a biggish job - hence he didn't want to do it outside in the cold.
