1999 Renault Megane Coupe review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It failed to start first time on a number of occasions, and is proving to be very unreliable.
General comments?
It is very unreliable when attempting to start.
Sometimes it will and sometimes it won't.
Renault have had the car and cannot find anything wrong with it (but still bill me £50 for 40 minutes work!). Sometimes the problems will not reoccur for weeks, then it will not start on the first or tenth time for days.
The Automobile Association recovery man advised that it was the engine immobiliser, Renault say their machine say it is not!
