Finally fixed my knackered Renault
Staple balls - 30/7/13 at 06:55 PM

It's been a long, hard job, but I've finally fixed all the problems, handling is sorted, revs normally, windows all work,

it's like a whole new car...





Mysteriously, it also has an Audi badge now.

Well done, sounds like you have sorted it well and truly!

Welldone

We had a Renault once and we won't be having another.....

Now if you get any probs they'll cost twice what the Renault did

That's probably the best way to sort out a Renault

I didn't see the text under the picture and kept looking at it and thinking, that's not a Renault. Now I see the ways of not reading all of the post. Wish my Renault problems would go away, although ours does have a tow bar so it will serve its purpose in getting my kit to the IVA

To be honest, the spares prices are no worse than most cars now, but I suppose that's more to do with the platform being used for everything.

It's pretty sad though, we swapped a 53 plate Renault with 90k on the clock, for a p (97) Audi with 185k on it, and it has basically no major issues, there's a few trim rattles and the drivers door has dropped half an inch.

Plus side, it doesn't rev to 6k randomly while driving.
