2001 Renault Laguna 1.8 privilege review from UK and Ireland
"Could be a great car if it was reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Continual problems with tyre pressure sensors. Needs new £35 sensor each time you change a tyre and £25 to reset computer with new valve.
New drive shaft at 18000 miles.
New discs all round at 22000 miles.
Failed 3 times at speed due to blown engine management fuse. Fault not ultimatley traced.
Facia problem at 61000 miles with mileage changing to km from miles and inaccurate gauge indications (ran out of fuel when needle still on white sector)
New tract rod ends at 50000 miles
Untraced problem with power steering which occasionaly caused wheel to go very "heavy"
Plastic door handles started to "flake" at 55Kmiles.
General comments?
Good looking car which was practical and comfortable to drive when no faults present.
Reliability lets it down big time.
