• Hyundai i30 (2007 - ) - Head or heart in buying a car? 13 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  But, I am left wondering whether it will be as smooth and comfortable to drive. The interior of the Renault looks better as well. I have not driven either and won't do until I have the money to buy, but how would 'you' base your decision in a similar situation? Heart maybe for the Renault ,or more with the head and the Hyundai i30.

• Breakdown 6 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  I changed my cam belt at 5 years and 43k, I do 6 monthly/6k oil changes, my car is serviced, anything that goes wrong with it is fixed, and Driving home on the M4 today, I got through the roadworks near Junction 6 and tried to accelerate out in my 1989 Renault 19 1.7. I say tried because, as I did so, the accelerator cable lost all tenstion and the pedal hit the floor. Pedal to the metal, maybe, but zero performance. Thankfully I still had a week left on my RAC membership and the patrol was there within about 40 minutes.
• Alloys 24 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  Yes, I know I don\'t really NEED them, but I just hate the plastic wheel trims on my S reg Renault Scenic. I wish I could just either order-up a brand new set of alloys / tyres from the local Renault dealer or pop into Halfords, etc to get a new set, but I just havn\'t got that sort of money. I\'ve now opened up a can of worms by looking into getting a used set - on Ebay or searching for breakers that may have a Scenic with good wheels (undamaged) that might fit.
• Faulty Megane and Motorpoint 28 Apr 2001 (Forum)
  OK, I thought, it's under warranty. Not so said the dealer, the warranty book is stamped 29th March 2000 with a Renault dealer in Calais' stamp. Motorpoint must have bought it from them then and that's when the waranty runs from. They contacted Renault UK who agreed with them, even though the warranty booket states it runs from the date of delivery (29th March) or the date of first registration (20th October 2000) whichever is the later.
• Jazz CRV ? - Honda May return to the UK 27 Dec 2024 (Forum)
  News that discussions are underway for a collaboration between the two companies and Nissan May allow Honda to produce cars at the Sunderland factory which is running under capacity. Formal agreement will be needed from Renault who are also in discussions with a Taiwanese company who wish to buy Nissan. Grest news for car production in the UK if it all goes through
• The Electric Vehicle (EV) thread Vol 10 9 Jul 2024 (Forum)
  The Zoe seems quite well-regarded - my neighbours were very pleased with theirs - so this could be a useful addition to the range. https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/new-cars/2021-09-1/renault-unveils-megane-e-tech-electric-with-292-mile-range/
• Suzuki Vitara 2015 - General judgement 19 Sep 2015 (Forum)
  Dear John, as to me the new Suzuki Vitara compares in no way to the Renault Captur, the Opel Mokka, or the Citroen Cactus, neither to the Fiat 500 X whatever journalists might say. It should be compared to the Mitsubishi ASX to begin wth. Further more: it seems to me a great car, taking into account the price for the low budget versions.
• Mid size car/mpv for 5 adults 5 Apr 2011 (Forum)
  The only problem is the hump in the middle of the back seat. Would 3 adults sit comfortably side by side in MK1 Renault Scenic? Any other suggestions welcome. Cheers Richard    
• Volkswagen Scirocco Mk III (2008 - ) - Scirocco owners - everybody happy? 17 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  This is a follow-up from my recent test-drive of the Renault Megane Coupe, 2.0 TCE - ultimately a disappointing experience. I haven't yet driven a Scirocco but most information seems very positive - I'd appreciate some feedback from actual owners on their experiences?
• Van derived MPV (new) 2 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Visited my local renault, fiat and citreon dealerships yesterday - none of the are interested in doing deasl, they seem to have gone back to list prices since the government scrappage scheme. Anyway, where not bothered what make it is, but we do want a new berlingo (old or new shape), doblo or kangoo mpv van thing.
• How strong is the Nissan Di engine? 4 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  I'm looking at maybe buying an older Primera, Almera, or Almera Tino, and would ideally like one of the diesel engines. A cursory Google reveals issues with the (I believe) Renault-sourced DCi engines, but is the older Di engine a good 'un? cheers tt
