2001 Renault Laguna dimonique review from UK and Ireland

WHERE DO I START.,

ON THE DAY OF PURCHASE AND GIVIN IT ITS 1ST MOTOR WAY TEST WE NOTICED ON ACCELERATING THE CAR PULLED TO THE LEFT HEAVILY, AND WHEN YOU RELEASED YOUR FOOT FROM THE PEDAL IT SHOT BACK TO THE RIGHT, IT WAS LIKE I HAD NO CONTROL AND THE CAR WAS STERRING ITSELF,

IT WAS ALSO BADLY CREAKING WHEN YOU PULLED AWAY.

POWER STEERING GOES HARD IF YOU TURN TO QUICKLY HAS ALMOST CAUSED A FEW ACCIDENTS WHEN PULLING INTO PARKING SPACES, the dimonique hasn't got EML or whatever you call it.

THE AIR CONDITIONING CONTROLS BACKLIGHT HAS STOPPED WORKING SO YOU Can't SEE ANY INFO AT NIGHT (£470 FOR A NEW ONE)

ITS WENT TO THE DEALERS 6 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS, AND EVEN THOUGH THEY CLAIMED TO PUT NEW BUSHES AND A NEW POWER STEERING VALVE IN, BUT THE PROBLEMS STILL PERSIST,SO That's THE WARANTEE GONE NOW.

THE LUMBAR SUPPORT HAS GONE IN THE DRIVER SEAT AND NOW THE WHEEL SENSORS KEEP COMING UP WARNING!! IN COLD WEATHER.

It's a shame as my mk1 laguna was the best car i'd ever had.

But that's why they've given it the name "dimonique" because like the jewellery with the same name,it looks good until you look close and realize its not as good as the diamond.

And for your information a service is

£280 and a cam belt change is £495.
