  • 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.

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.
