• Our current C-Max vs replacement Scenic 12 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  We just don't get on with the c-Max (too many rattles and nasty plastic bits) Currently has : C-MAX 2.0 TDCi ZETEC, 54 plate, 22000 miles. We've seen a RENAULT SCENIC 1.5 dCi (86 BHP) Expression, 55 plate 11000 miles Price to change £1,500. (main dealer) Questions : (1) Opinions on the scenic versus c-max? (2) Opinions on the reliability of the Scenic?

  a friend of mine took his GREEN 1.6 RENAULT MEGANE COUPE W REG WITH 45K to his mechanic as it was making a noise and has been told the camshaft has gone and it is going to cost around £800 to fix. He cant eally afford to pay for the work and is deciding what to do. i suggested putting it into an auction. i know its dishonest but maybe he might get a half decent price for it.

• New Espace broken exhaust joint 7 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  The exhaust seems to be a one piece from the cat to the back box. What are the chances of it being welded up again? I know someone at Renault and they are getting me a price for a new exhaust but I dont think much change out of £1k for a complete exhaust inc cats.

• 3k - as powerful as poss & In group 15 27 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  My friend Adam at work is a bit of a boy racer and is looking for a car to have some fun in. He's got his heart set on a Renault 5 turbo but I think he could get something more solid & safer for the 3k he has. His criteria is: 3k maximum spend Insurance group no more than 15 Fast & fun I came up with the following, some are closer matches than others: * Old BMW 325 / 328 (e36 shape) * Ricer i.e. 3000GT, GTO, MR2, RX7 (although most too much on insurance) * Mark 1 or 2 Golf GTI Can anyone else help with this very serious problem!!??
• Mondeo joins the ranks of legends like.. 5 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  ... the Renault 11 and Citroën 2CV. http://www.mi6.co.uk/news/index.php?itemid=3423 I'm really surprised no one has posted this yet. Ford have apparently paid £14m (!) for prodcut placement of the Mondeo in the next Bond film, although there will also be Aston Martins featured.

• Meganes assistance needed 11 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  New tyre's required just after the 18,000 mile service and a comment on the service that the brakes would need seeing to on the next service. 2nd service new discs required as binding - Renault have offerred to pay 50% trade price - but I have to pay 50% of retail price nearly £200 but the dealer will not contribute anything. Dealer was curt in his response to my asking if it was correct that the cars are stored abroad in a compound and the disc get rusty - prior to delivery the discs should be cleaned if not cleaned then they bind - Could this be anything to do with the problem?

• Megane - strange smell 5 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  I wonder if it could be something to do with the aircon but I gave it a good run on hot air to dry it all out and it's no better. Car was fine when I put it in the garage. I've not had this problem on previous Renaults. Does anyone know what might be causing it? Could it be mould in the aircon? If so, how do I get rid of it? Car is only just over a year old. Thanks X
• Change 1 Shock Absorber or 2? 19 May 2005 (Forum)
  2 Months ago I had my nsf shock absorber changed at service by renault. It was not right from the moment they changed it. Ended up getting a 4 wheel alignment done as they recommended, which was all done at my expense. Car now drives as you would expect on decent flat roads, but on rough ground or over man hole covers you feel the car twitch.
• Opinions on a Nissan Primera 13 May 2005 (Forum)
  Having been told that my new job will require a company car, I now have to choose from Renault Laguna, Vauxhall Vectra or Nissan Primera. I'll be doing 30-35k miles a year on mostly motorway or fast rural roads. Without having any particularly good reason, I think I prefer the Primera to the other two.
• Cheap insurance for second car. Help! 26 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  Here is the problem. New Renault Scenic arrives today, to replace my nearly 10 year old BMW 318. My wife has her own car,and we swap between them. I thought I might hang on to the BMW, for sentimental reasons, and as an emergency spare car, as it is in good order mechanically.
• What's a coil pack for Scenic? 3 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  My 2000 W reg Renault Scenic 1.6 Petrol Alize is running on 3 cylinders, which surprises me. Car only done 40k, recently serviced. Went to the dealer this morning, says it'll probably be the coil pack, whatever that is!
• Toyota Corolla 27 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  Hi, I'm looking for a little bit of advice for my dad. He is looking to change his car some time in the next few months. He currently has a 1.4 Renault Megane (V reg) and is considering a Toyota Corrolla of no more than 3 years old. He wants a diesel this time around. He does around 10,000 miles a year (I think thats what he said anyway). He uses the car mainly for going to work and doing all the running around locally but it will be used for longer runs aswell, on motorways and country roads.
• V5 for pre reg car 20 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  As mentioned before, I purchased a pre reg Scenic from Renault dealer. Car was registered on 29 June and I purchased it on 3 July with something like 6 miles on clock. I have not received the log book in from DVLA yet. When I questioned this with the dealer yesterday, he advised me that as it was a pre reg, there would be a 3 month delay.
