• 2-litre Laguna auto freebie 5 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  My feeling is that since it's free he might as well give it a try. Apparently it isn't worth much. I know the Laguna, and Renaults in general especially with autoboxes, are frowned on by many here, but I believe they have their supporters. The only Renault I have owned, an 18GTX estate, was excellent. Will the Laguna drink like a fish and give him endless grief, or is it worth a punt?
• Scenic battery drain 12 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  But same problem happened again on the Tuesday - again flat battery, car won't start - RAC called out again, advised her of problem with battery and should take it to Renault dealer. Car booked into dealership for Wed, they tested battery and found 'no fault'. Tried to start today and same problem - RAC came out again and he found battery fault. I have read on some sites about Renault battery drain, but can't find the exacy problem.

• Laguna V6 misfire 5 May 2004 (Forum)
  it happens for maybe 10-15 minutes (car is hot or cold doesn't seem to matter) and then it'll be fine for a few weeks/months. Renault London reckoned that it was a split vaccuum pipe confusing the Engine management but the problem is still happening after a new pipe. renault Auckland (Yes,the car has moved from London to Auckland!)
• Espace 'smoking' problem! 18 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  I have an 02 reg Grande Espace 2.2DCi, in the mornings when I go to work and stop about 5 miles away (to get fuel), smoke purs out under the engine. I have had this checked out by AA and also by Renault but no-one can find a fault. Renault said it could be something to do with the air con (even though didn't have it on) and that water drops down onto the pipes and causes steam. After a couple of minutes it does stop but it's pretty disconcerting when you are filling up with fuel and there's smoke pouring out of your car!

• Is this a fair price 14 Dec 2001 (Forum)
  It has a small srape on a rear door and the front dam beneath the bumper is scored/scraped. I Have been offered this car for £1350.00 is this a good deal? The local Renault garage said that in perfect condition it wpould be worth £3000. I know the history is true because the car belongs to my dad. What do you think? Bye for now.

• Smart Forfour, Renault Twingo - Where does cabin air enter in Twingo/Forfour? 11 Oct 2020 (Forum)
  That is, it will suit me better IF having the engine in the rear means that the cabin air will NOT then come via a route that's next to the engine. So my essential question is: Where does the cabin air enter on a Renault Twingo or a Smart ForFour? Does it take an 'airtight' route without being in proximity to engine fumes? And what about if the heater's being used? Thanks in advance.
• Renault Megane - Incorrect dashboard speed limit display 7 Dec 2018 (Forum)
  I'm driving around this week in a hired Renault Megane. It's better than expected, but I don't know how they've managed to make the (very large) speed limit display on the dashboard so innaccurate. So far, it has: 1) Told me on multiple occasions that I'm in a 50mph limit when the speed limit is 30mph 2) Told me several speed limits are 30mph despite them actually being either 40 or 50 3) Tells me that the speed limit on a NSL single carriageway local to me is 40, when I know it's not been anything but NSL for at least ten years and is well signposted.
• Citroen C4 Picasso / Renault scenic - Mpv options under £2500-£3000 17 Jul 2018 (Forum)
  It's the right size car with a good boot and plenty of space in the back. Is this model reliable. Any reason not to buy it. The laternative we saw was a Renault Scenic 1.4 16v Dynamique 5dr with 80000 for £2000 which was a biy smaller and not in the best condition..they haf a citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6 i 16v VTX 5dr with 60000 miles for £2000- which we didn't test drive.
• Scenic 1.9dci power loss / light on 2 Jul 2018 (Forum)
  Citroen replaced the glow plugs and the EGR valve (see paperwork) but the problem remains'. The car is due back in with Renault next week, and my warranty doesn't cover diagnostics! They say they have been on Renault Net, but this fault isn't a known problem. This is a potentially dangerous fault and we now avoid overtaking anything unless there is a huge safety margin.
• Renault Scenic - Need to change car? 18 Nov 2016 (Forum)
  I have a 2011 Renault Scenic 1.5 tdi with 87,000 miles on the clock.  The cam belt is due and I've been warned it may well need the water pump doing at the same time, the garage estimate that it will be £750ish (inc servicing).
• Renault Kangoo diesel 59 plate - Car vibrates following oil change!!!! 25 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  Previously trouble free Kangoo now vibrates through steering wheel/seat and pedal following oil change at 42k.( the service countdown on the dash indicated a symbol that looks like a container with a droplet over it, which i was advised indicated that the engine detected that the oil needed changed despite being 4k miles short of next service interval)  Subtle change but enough for me to notice and on longer journeys can result in "pins and needles" and nausea.  Unfortunately the main Renault garage sevice manager where the car is serviced doesnt think there is a problem following a 5 minute road test and diagnostic engine test.  The vibration is immediately apparent to me when starting up, so think he was just humouring me by testing the engine as he could not detect what i feel on starting, and is certainly not feeling "shaken" up afte only a 5 minute journey.
