• More ammo for HJ 21 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  Knowing HJs opinion of Renault, I think he might enjoy this little tale. Just returned from holiday in France (you know, those people who love the British so much). Rented a Laguna - having asked for a Vectra. Nice car but whilst there I managed to achieve a blow out on a front tyre (don't ask).

• Heat (solar) reflecting windscreens 5 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Do heat reflecting windscreens work ? They seem to be common on Renaults. Does anyone have any experience of a car with and without ? Can a heat reflecting film be applied to existing glass in the same was as tints ? I'm also curious as to why this treatment seems to be applied to windscreens only.

• VW Touran Tiptronic any good? 26 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  Has anybody driven the 1.6 Fsi tiptronic auto Touran? what are they like? I've driven the Renault Scenic auto & hated it. I've driven the DSG Touran in the 2.0 diesel & loved it, but can't afford it. So now, I'm toying with a 1.9 dci Scenic manual or a 1.6 Fsi tiptronic Touran petrol. Any thoughts?
• Nissan Note vs Honda Jazz 13 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  I am replacing my RAV (03) with something smaller but practical. Was leaning strongly towards the Nissan Note but then i read that Nissan and Renault are now wedded.

• Megane safety recall 15 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  Had a recorded delivery letter the other day urgently requesting me to take my 52 reg Megane to a Renault dealer ASAP due to "a possible issue with the brake pedal operation... which may affect your safety". I've had recall notices before but not one sounding quite this dramatic. Anybody got any insider knowledge about it?
• What's at the head of the queue? 29 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  Ambling along a normally fast A-Road the other day behind an old Pajero, I got to wondering which cars other backroomers associate with extra slow driving? Back in the 80's I remember Triumph Toledos heading the queue. More recently E-H reg Renault Espace's have, erm, slowed the pace of life somewhat.

  Drive a new Passat or a Renault with an electronic parking brake, realise how good they are and easy to operate then go back to a car fitted with one of them old fangled levers you pull up from the floor. Suddenly you feel like your pulling a lever on a steam train.
• Clio steering rack needs replacing. 6 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  Over the last couple of weeks the steering on my renault clio has become very lose, and I have understeer. It was mentioned at my last MOT that the steering rack will need replacing soon, so I'm assuming that's the cause. Can anyone tell me how much this will cost to replace at a local garage?
