one very close friend bought yesterday..and today I was in..nice car but not a mig..and I like the talking lady.. saying somewhat similiar emissions failure.. (have LPG OMVL)

and the triptronic gearbox was practical.. :y

model 2003 privilege package..price 8000£ aprox..and that was cheap!

Renault autos and semi autos are very bad news....basicaly really shite and unreliable

his only solution is to pray then ;D :-/

 >:(  I forced him to buy manual as his previous mazda was auto and the auto was on the way to go..
sell one trouble buy another :(

my brother has a laguna - one of his xenons has gone - he took it to Renault and they told him they have to dismantle the front of the car to take the headlamp out and with parts it's about £450 to fix.   Then there is his passenger window that keeps falling down, the lady with the nice voice has been turned off 'cos she kept telling him his car was rubbish and all his tyres are apparently flat!!!

at least WE can get to the headlamp without removing the bumper, the front panel, the radiator and who knows what else - I changed a sidelight bulb for him and was lucky not to lose a finger or two!
