So to cut a long story short, I got made redundant recently, got the golf to finish, and don't really want to MOT this if I can help it, but if its not gone before it runs out I will put it through.
Its been an excellent runabout/workhorse for me and the family, surprisingly massive in the back with the seats down, very very comfy, and drives well considering the mileage. Heres the good stuff;

Working air con
Electric sunroof, front windows, mirrors, remote locking that works on both keys
Twin electric towbar
Full Service History up to 175k
3x3 point belts in the back
4x airbags
Runs on WVO
OEM Cd player with remote controls behind steering wheel
Professionally fitted bluetooth hands free kit (I thinks its made by nokia but it worked with my sony ericcson phone) that somehow works through the Renault CD player

And the bad bits;

Its jewish racing gold ;D
Few age related scuffs, nothing serious, its not rusty
Missing one front foglight, someone has put a blank in one
Headlights have crazed over, need flatting back and polishing
Horn doesn't work (will be sorted if MOT'd)
Some play in what I suspect wishbone bushes (may have new ones for MOT if they fail)

Otherwise its been an excellent boring family car, it does 50mpg all day long, its not exactly fast with 100bhp but it accelerates up hills in 5th I can also include over 60 litres (about a full tanks worth) of unfiltered WVO if the buyer wants it.







OK so I'm a bit rubbish and thought I had more pics of it on my photobucket, if theres actually any interest in it I'l take some fresh ones of it and the lovely interior

Anyone wanna save this before the MOT runs out? Its getting dangerously close to me claiming the tax back and scrapping it, but its far too good for that

[sebring]

I'm interested but cant get up for a couple of weeks - i take the there is no rust etc on the sills!

don't suppose you comming down to london anytime soon are you??

[adi]

no plans to go down there no lol. I don't think theres any rust on it, I know theres a tiny ding on one sill and slight bubbling under the laguna badge and on the roof, but you'd probably only know it was there if I showed you. I really don't want to scrap it but I simply haven't got the money to MOT it right now and I need to finish my golf

[adi]

looks like this is off to the scrapyard then. shame

[bigman1207]

did this fail the mot or just think it may fail on a few points?

[adi]

Well I'd like to think I know a thing or 2, I've used this car daily for about 2 months, and all I've had to do is fit a starter motor (I don't recommend anyone have to do this!), which was from a volvo 460 TD (same engine) and put a headlight bulb in it. All I can see it failing on is the horn (It did make a small noise when I got it, so I'm sure its the horn itself), I have a few spare ones from golfs that could be made to fit, and possible bottom arm bushes as its a little bit wobbly, but don't think they look visibly perished.

But no I haven't taken it in for a test.

edit; I should point out I did buy it with a duff starter motor, and it may get an advisory on the backbox being rusty as the outer skin is a bit nasty, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't blow. Its certainly not noisy anyway.

can you pls pm me your postcode - also, (i know its only £300) but when was the cambelt last done pls??

[adi]

PM coming your way, service book says cambelt done at 149k on the 27/02/08

[adi]

last bump before it gets squished, £250 with the tax come take it!

[vaughant]

Tell you what that's a real bargain for someone and renaults generally fly the mot needing very little work,the horns most likely just a bad earth or connection as their usually kept at road level so all the rain and salt doesn't do the connections much good.
That would make a cracking family motor/daily/parts hauler for someone.
I'd mot it and shove it on gumtree for £500,be gone in a day.

[pabblo]

Wish I had the cash for it be a real waste to weigh it in for scrap. My grandad had one new as a company car. There a decent motor. Hope someone can give it a good home.

[adi]

me too, I just don't have time/inclination to take the £50 gamble on it. It doesn't owe me much as it is and its done what I wanted, load space with the back seats down is impressive and space in the back is also impressive, like a comfy sofa with the armrest down! Also quite rare to see an electric sunroof AND air con on a euro box like this.
