1985 Renault 25 GTX review from France
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Auto gearbox failed.
Various problems with injection system.
General comments?
A lovely car really, comfortable, loaded with 'toys' and cheap to buy.
Big problem is the auto gearbox, I've heard of so many many of them failing before 90K miles. Easy to check on early models, if the gearbox fluid is brown and smells burnt the box has had it. Later models didn't even have a gearbox dipstick or filler plug!
