Gearbox completely jammed at 105,000.
Air flow tubing at 85,000.
Alternator at roughly 75,000.
Driver's seat split along edge.
Display bulbs blown to speed-o-meter.
My second Renault, the first whilst at University was a E Reg' 5. I liked this car and still do except that the gearbox has completely failed.
Car is a soft ride so has a lot of body roll, but means that it appears to float.
Performance was quite good - although has now dropped off dramatically.
Seats are softer than I would like.
It 2004 And its just up on the 76K miles mark.
My dealer seam way too high priced, as a major service price of 260 didn't include the cam kit? which was a 273 bang as well. There is a little noise form the OS drive / running gear. but it all seams OK. ABS gives a warning over bumps.
I wish I had read reviews before I made my buy.
I get the poor heating, but my water cooling is full of dirt, why? this must assist the cooling / heating problems.
Mileage is poor and well as the engine power.
Overall a nice car, but its out-weighted by the cost of ownership.
I purchased a P reg. 2L RXE just over a year ago, at first no problems at all, loved the car, smoothe, all electical toys were great, then the problems started. Initally the driver side front window would not work, a motor cost £100, then the Air-con packed up, blowers, switches, matrix, gas etc came to £1200. then the head went, after a rebuild and bill for £900, I thought that would be end of the problems. A month passed and knocking started from under the peadals, after examination is the o/s driveshaft, another bill for £200.
Problems aside it's a lovely car when it works!
