1998 Renault Megane RT Sport review from UK and Ireland
"1st and last Renault I own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
TDC sensor on the blink just after I bought it. Turns out it is faulty wiring. Plastic clips used until it went in for a service with Renault dealer. Cost GBP 110, including labour. This is the third sensor replaced on the car since it was first purchased by the original owner.
Auto gearbox now refuses to change from third to fourth gears in normal mode. Warning light on display. However, will change gears, for now, in 'sports' mode.
General comments?
Most recent service cost GBP 800. They replaced brake discs (why weren't they machined??) and it took them 45 minutes to replace the brake fluid!!
Apart from the problems the car handles alright and is comfortable to drive.
