• Small horse van required 23 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  As this is a wish list, the vehicle should be automatic; have a walk through to the rear from the cab; it should be not much wider than a standard van (due to the track-way it will be parked in); and be no higher to get in to than a Transit / Movano (my back problems are getting worse!). The only no-no is anything Renault based - we've had bad experiences with Renault dealers and are not prepared to give them any more money! Budget is around £15k (+vat if required, as it can be reclaimed). Any suggestions for vans suitable for conversion, ready converted vehicles, or conversion companys would be welcomed.

• Scenic 55k rattle-rattle? 30 May 2006 (Forum)
  I know very little about the insides of the engine in my 2000 W reg Renault 1.6 ALIZE Scenic, but it has recently acquired itself a little tappety-tappety whir at tickover which speeds up as you rev. It is inaudible inside the car, and not anything a casual bystander would notice, but I am mildly nervous about this metallic noise.

• Best car you've had 6 May 2005 (Forum)
  I'll start with an Anglia,it was the 1200,such power,I was a teenager,it was my first car.I thrashed it without mercy until the three bearing crank snapped one day.Undeterred I rebuilt a Cortina engine and dropped that in.Eventually four of us drove it to Morocco,sadly KLE 625D never made it back,but that's another story. Another vehicle that sticks in my mind is a Renault 20 TS auto,it was supremely comfortable,no doubt designed for pave(should be an accent over the e)and went like a rocket on kickdown.It was fairly straight forward for a Renault of the period,although they managed to negate the usefulness of the hatchback by having some bizarre rear seat pivoting arrangement instead of simply folding down.
• Another Renault Clio starting problem 2 Feb 2005 (Forum)

• If not Laguna, then what?? 30 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  I can probably get most things in the £18-24k band (and a bit above), but lease costs are obviously higher for stuff like audis/beemers/mercs etc. I know I can get a Mondeo diesel Ghia X for the same outlay s the renault, but I don't think it looks as good, and I'm not keen on the look of the passat either. You just seem to get a far better equipped car for your money with the renault (and i admit it - I like toys!)

• UK specs? 23 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  Hi, I am going to buy a new Renault Scenic with either Virgin car or Trade Sales of Slough. I tried to convince my local dealer to match their offer but he instead started to warn me about the danger of buying import cars. So my questions are: What does full UK specs means?
