I'll say no more lads, ye'r clearly Renault/Dacia/Nissan fans here on this forum. Ye have great taste in motors.

I'm no fan as such but they have really improved.

Like any modern cars these days some will have issues.

1st gen was good 2nd gen rubbish, 3rd gen on great cars.

Obviously the 1.5dci isn't going to set your world on fire but they are a good engine.

If you said they were bad, I'd be fully on your side but they had no choice but to become reliable or else they'd be left behind as other makes etc were much more reliable.

Never owned any of them but anyone who makes such a comment clearly hasn't a clue what they are talking about!

I'm not denying that the motors are good, the 1.5Dci is a great solid little engine no doubt! it's the electrics that riddle the cars/vans with problems elsewhere. That's only in my opinion though!

Fully entitled to that.

Just saying these gremlins aren't anywhere as bad as previous years.... They have improved big time. As I said they had no choice but to.

By all means let yourself and your fellow experts keep that mindset. This that mindset that keeps the second hand prices low.

User1998 · 28-12-2019 10:30PM

Not agreeing or disagreeing with anyone in this threat but we had a Renault Megane 2011 in the family recently and all the electrics in the climate control system failed.. Was about €800 to fix so we just sold it on

What year did the 3rd gen start?

Laguna III started in 2007, Megane III in 2009.

But it's a diamond of doom though?

westeire · 29-12-2019 02:50PM

I wouldn't call the Renault Laguna coupe the ''diamond of doom''! Have one just over 2 years with 247,000 miles on it and no major electrical or mechanical issues with it. The only thing id say is body panels are hard to get second hand as I found out when someone revered into my door! and certain other parts are not the same as the saloon version and no after market alternatives so genuine Renault part, had window reg go and was €350!

Always get a spare window regulator when you're buying a Renault

westeire · 29-12-2019 02:53PM

Well after the millage its done and been the original id say that was good going!
