• 1998 Espace diesel brake problems 11 May 2006 (Forum)
  1) A friend of mine has a 1998 R reg espace diesel, done about 110k almost trouble free miles, he has recently experienced the brake pedal sinking to the floor if constant pressure is held on the pedal. The local Renault specialist has bled the brakes 3 times and has replaced the master cylinder twice, but to no avail. Any ideas what the problem might be? 2) Also, his clutch only engages with the pedal fully down, sounds like a worn clutch to me, what do you think?
• Which small automatic ? 26 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  Hi, Trying to decide on a small automatic as a first car whether new or used. Somewhere I read that the Micra may not be as reliable as they should because they now use Renault parts? And Corsa's have problems with the rear bulbs failing leaving the gear box in crawl home mode? As from this would a Charade at £6100 new or a Picanto at £7000 be a better deal than say a nearly new Corsa or Micra (£7700) ?

• Nissan Primastar 18K/2y Service interval 7 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  Does a 18K or two year service interval seem sensible on this vehicle - a 54 reg Nissan Primastar va (similar to Renault trafic and Vauxhall vivaro) with a DCi 100 engine in? One car that I had with a FSH from new actually suffered a cambel failure, because there was no requirement to change the cambelt layed out by the manufacturer, so I am a little suspicious of ANY manucacturer's service guidelines.
• Vel Satis on it's way out? 14 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  What's HJ doing there? He gets about a bit. Anyway, the article just above HJ's is telling us about Renault's Vel Satis, which looks to be for the chop. Comments about the New Megane being styled the way it is so that the Avantime and Vel Satis don't look quite so peculiar, and now one's gone and the other's to follow, what's the point?
• Quality & comfort of ride 23 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  Unfortunately all those I have tried so date, like the Jazz (the new one), Yaris, Mercedes 160,& 220 and the small Skoda all ride like bricks. The cars from France seem to be better sprung but I am not over fond of Renault. So far I have not tried those from the Rover group! Does any one have experience of a modern car that can soak up the pot-holes, is quite both inside and out and provides at least two comfortable seats?
• Peugeot 807 - first sighting? 18 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  I am pretty sure I saw a Peugeot 807 yesterday - being driven through Ipswich in convoy with a Renault Vel Satis. Quite a striking sight. Expect an article next month in one of the motoring mags - 'Big Funny Looking French Cars - Group Test'. Saw a Ford Fusion as well, in a metallic beige/brown that reminded me of old Cortinas.
• Prices! 8 Aug 2001 (Forum)
  A friendly salesman there reckons he can save me up to £2k in a medium sized new car. against the Renault dealer just up the road. Being a suspicious sort of guy (i.e. cynical) I want to know more. Has anyone bought through this type of firm? What are pros and cons? Are they grey imports?What about UK specifications, warranties and servicing?
• Nissan fuel capacity 6 Jun 2001 (Forum)
  Does this car have a small tank or do I need a new full gauge?. As an aside which modern popular car has the largest fuel capacity- previously I had a Renault lagona which would take nearly £50 to fill up.

• Strange hankerings 11 Sep 2020 (Forum)
  These things are hugely popular as taxis across Europe and many local authorities use the commercials in big numbers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacia_Dokker Indian built Renault Kwid is apparently on its way to some European nations at the equivalent of under £4,000 but with a 0 star Ncap it’s unlikely it’ll make it to the UK without a major redesign and a no doubt doubled price tag. https://www.renault.co.in/cars/renault-kwid.html
