1999 Renault Scenic RTE review from UK and Ireland
"A cavernous comfy family car which doesn't drink petrol!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought the car it had only one Blipper for the central Locking/ Alarm. A replacement unprogrammed blipper from the dealer is: 45 pounds + vat. Reprogramming the immobiliser is 30 pounds + vat. The new Key shaft is 15 pounds + vat (uncut!.) The engine gets a bit noisier when it has completed a longish run, even though its only done 37000 miles, and I've changed the oil! Wondering what other tricks the local dealers have up their sleeves! Haven't suffered from the brake problem, but one does have to treat the gearbox with respect...
General comments?
Lovely car otherwise, still finding nooks and crannies all over it! Much more frugal than a 2 litre Volvo estate (which I miss dearly if only I could have afforded to keep filling that up!)
