1998 Renault Espace RTX -Auto review from UK and Ireland
"Nice, but expensive to keep on the road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Auto Box replaced at 55,000.
Head Gasket / Valve burnt at 78,000.
Many seat belt service required warnings - traced eventually (4 years) to poor connector under seat!
Now getting occasional Gearbox warnings again.
General comments?
Very Comfortable, can travel 600 miles in a day with ease.
Auto box version needs a bigger engine.
Excellent dealer support! (I must be one of the lucky ones)
