Only ever fancied being the owner of 2 renault's. One was the R5 Gordini Turbo 8)

The other is the renault rs 01 (if I ever win the lottery)

I'm guessing none of these Renault owners surveyed haven't had a problem with the fuse boxes below the battery yet which cost a fortune to repair. Sorry but I wouldn't give Renault garage room.

Interesting .. the wife's clit has been a reliable, simple to service, cheap to run little shopping trolley for several years now. Not a car I'd choose to do more than 30 miles in as I cannot get comfortable, but, for her, as a shopping cart it has been very good..... its had a few minor things needing in doing, the ONLY major hiccup is the sunroof which leaks like a sieve ... airforce black tape has solved that nice and cheaply .. :)

My granddaughter has an eight year old clit and i had to drive it from Bedford to Bury St Edmunds for her when she was unwell. Must say i has very impressed, fun to drive, handled well and went like stink, not bad for a 1.1. Still wouldn,t buy a Renault though, i still have the scars after hiring a Megane a faw years ago.  :-[

A fella here at work has an early-00's clit and has been commuting 60 miles a day for the last 5 years or so - in that time he's had to change the coil pack and clean the TDC sensor (plus tyres, obviously) over, let's say optimistically, 70,000 miles.

Dents in every panel, owes him absolutely nothing, cheap, reliable and gets decent mpg.


I've probably jinxed him now, of course!


On the other end of the spectrum I was passed by a brand-new Laguna this morning. What on earth were they thinking at the rear of that? I mean.. look at it!

Wife and eldest daughter have shared a 1.4 clit now for over 10 years and it has been pretty reliable and is very very comfortable.

Minor niggles are the aerial seal  leaks dripping water onto the front seats but that was cured many years ago with silicone.Has had usual service items as you would expect from 10 years ownership and 118k miles.Bought it for 2k in Feb 2006 and for that service it gets my thumbs up as a usefull little run-a-bout and cheap to own .

Would consider buying another

Renaults previously owned:

4 (750cc)
4 (1100cc)
6
4 van

Without the above my skill at welding thin steel to rusty steel would not be as good.

11 TXE
21 TXI

The above two improved my electrical diagnostic skills and the 21TXI taught me how to cope with random total brake failure and how to restart the Televes power brake system whilst at 70mph on the motorway.

Dare I go back a few years and mention MY Renault 4? I'm sure it was 850cc. not 750, but what's 100cc between friends?
It wasn't just a runabout either; it did around 30k miles per year for my job......
