2001 Renault Megane Dynamic + review from UK and Ireland
"Fun and comfortable, and generally reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No major issues until lately.
Back in January it needed a new windscreen wiper motor, and now this week it needed a new cat due to a mis-fire. Located the mis-fire, and it was due to pencil coils, purchased those off ebay at a huge saving compared to Renault. The problem was still there, but not as bad, so changed all sparks and now OK. Currently at 70k, and I love my car.
General comments?
Bought the car 2 and a half years ago; nice looking, does what I want when driving, good to great sound and performance, looks good, mpg good, general wear and tear good.
The 6 CD changer is good as I'm always changing my music tastes.
The seats are very comfy!!!
Cat costs £220 fitted.
Bearings cost £25 per wheel
Coils from Renault £45 each (you need 4 to change them all).
General service £99 incl plugs/filters.
