Faults:

Rear lights derived from the 18 proved to be just as troublesome.

Passenger door central locking sometimes needed a good punch near the outside handle to open, probably only needed adjusting.

Petrol gauge swinging madly when vehicle was not absolutely stationary.

General Comments:

Handling is as good as it gets. Sure, you could buy an Accord for this price, but when it came down to crunch, the trusty Fuego delivered. A pleasure to drive fast.

Without the minor flaws I could have kept that beauty forever.

Faults:

The major things that I have had to do to the car are:

Front shock absorbers.

Rear shock absorbers.

Wheel bearings.

New engine management computer.

New front brake disc's.

New drive shafts.

Various ball-joints.

Various bushes.

Rear wheel brake cylinder.

Full-length sunroof mechanical parts.

General Comments:

I owned and driven lots of cars and the Fuego has to be the best car ever!

It's comfortable.

Handle's exceptionally well in all conditions.

The downside is the rust problems that seem to attack all Renault's of this age. The bodywork and underside are now starting to suffer although I am having new panel's and some welding done.

The automatic box was replaced by the previous owner and has given me no trouble at all although frequent oil changes are vital for these!

I've also used it for towing, including towing a Renault 11 250 miles and it was faultless. I do have the gearbox oil cooler kit fitted.
