1998 Renault Grand Espace RT-X review from UK and Ireland
"Love the car, I do not trust the dealer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fan belt failed at 114,000 miles, which caused the timing belt to fail as well.
The camshaft failed a week after the car came back from the timing belt being redone.
Three weeks after the camshaft was replaced the master clutch cylinder failed and left the car immobile.
General comments?
The Espace is, I feel, still the best full size M.P.V. on the road, in terms of comfort and drivability.
It has a very specious interior, and great if, like us, you have a large family.
