1999 Renault Espace RT-X review from UK and Ireland
"I like them"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very bad year for us with this particular Espace.
1 Constant bad front tyre wear.
2 Power steering pump went at 57.000 miles
3 Clutch slave cylinder went month later
4 The biggest problem Can belt snapped at 61.200 miles returning from holiday in October very expensive repair.
5 Last year had a very serious incident where the exhaust blew right at the top of the U bend, and I could have lost the whole vehicle with my family inside, due to a fire however it gave no indication of blowing this caused an extensive burn in the floor panel Renault Dealer in Portsmouth had never seen any thing like it, tried on my insurance to have it repaired they refused stated it was wear & tear, Renault UK where US, they could help, but as a sign of good will they would give a 50% price reduction on my next service, fat lot of help that was.
General comments?
The car is very comfortable to drive
Drives well & tows well.
