2003 Renault Trafic SL27 review from UK and Ireland
"Well built, great cab and economical"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
High pressure fuel pump failed at 34500, which was a month after I bought the van - replaced by the Renault main dealer as it came with a three month warranty.
General comments?
Fantastic value for money, 18000 mile service interval certainly helps keeps the running cost low. The last service cost £235 at the Renault main dealer. Still getting 35mpg and most of the driving is around town. Just replaced the cam belt kit; Renault quoted £440, but I had a local independent do the same job for £221!
Cab comfort is exceptional; highly recommend the air con pack - I regularly have to turn it down as it's like driving a fridge!
In the two years of ownership I have replaced one tyre, the battery, wiper blades and the driver's sun visor.
Even my wife drives this van as it's 'like driving a car'. Very easy to park and is great to load / unload due to the very low sill at the side and rear of the van.
