1992 Renault 25 TXI review from Jordan
"A high performance, low-cost to run, luxury car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The automatic gearbox. Apparently it is a common fault on the Renault 25 automatic version. The forward clutch housing cracked in the box and needed to be replaced. I kept my original gearbox and had it repaired. The total cost of the operation is £500.
Accelerator pedal return spring snapped on it. Had to pull the pedal back with my foot when I was driving!
Boot keeps opening when you go in a pothole or ramp on the road. New boot lock needed, this is also a common fault.
General comments?
I like the car a lot. It is the TXI model and has all leather interior, full electrics and even a trip computer that tells you if anything is wrong with the car such as a door not being shut or if a light has blown and needs to be replaced.
The dashboard is nicely set out and there is ample space inside the car as well. The boot is quite big too. The instrumental panel tells you everything, if the car needs servicing or if you have to stop because of a problem, it even tell you when the screen wash level is low. Everything you can imagine is included in this car.
