1997 Renault Megane RTE Sport review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
PAS hydraulic pipe leaking (£291).
Oil leak from cylinder head gasket (£173).
Brake discs scored (£210).
Backbox corroded (£120, only 2 years old).
Faulty indicator switch (£92).
Faulty rear wiper switch (£92).
Loose connection on starter motor (have to get the bonnet up and reseat the connector now and then).
Exhaust rattles since it was new.
General comments?
I've had this car since new, it's done 27,000 miles and I've taken care of it.
This car has proved to be a complete pile of junk and I will NEVER buy a Renault again. The Dealer has been completely incompetent and they should be ashamed of themselves.
