1998 Renault Espace RTX from UK and Ireland - Comments

"A very costly mistake"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Constant problems with the clutch pedal and gear changing, resulting in a new clutch assembly after 3 months and a complete new gear box after 4 months.

Door closure problems right from new, uncounted new door seals, driver's door out of line, seal sticking. Still ongoing after two years.

Tailgate door wrongly aligned and difficult to close.

Poor tyre wear. Front tyres changed after 3,000 miles. Renault paid.

General comments?

Feel badly let down by Renault, I previously drove exactly the same model for three years prior to changing to this new model. The gear box had changed, and now renault have reverted back to the old box. I have lost count of the number of times I have been back to Renault. I feel the service has been poor.

I also had 2 new door seals on a 3yr vehicle. Seems to be a common problem.

Extremely upset, I need a new gear box in my '98 Automatic Megane... Costing
