  • Renault Scenic Expression+ 2001 Starting 28 Jul 2006 (Forum)
    Here's one for you clever folk out there. 2001 Scenic starts fine from cold however after a good run (say half hour) if i happen to pop into a burger joint...
  • 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.
  • Renault Clio 1.4RT 98> 25 Jul 2005 (Forum)
    Peeps, been having intermittant problem for far too long now, i'll explain: My clio 1.4RT runs fine, starts fine, all ECU sensors fine. However if you...
  • 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)
    I have been reading the earlier articles about Coolant Temperature Sensors getting corroded and causing faulty readings. But I'm not totally sure whether...

  • 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?

  • What's variable valve timing? 24 Dec 2004 (Forum)
    My brother's Renault has this and I have no idea what it does. However, he says it's so he can do 25MPH in 5th gear though I'm a little sceptical.
  • French diesels 4 Aug 2003 (Forum)
    Does anyone have an opinion on what is the best French diesel? Is it the Renault dci or Citroen/Peugeot hdi? Also, what do folk think is the best diesel engine around at the moment that is installed in a small, medium car? Thanks Enigma2

  • Maltese 27 May 2020 (Forum)

  • Laguna 2007 25 May 2007 (Forum)
    Thinking of one of these but not sure it look much different from the current one :-( I am sure the 'spy' shots last year showed a more glamorous body. Renault playing too safe IMO :-( http://tinyurl.com/362enz
