Guest Renault20tx Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hi all, I am looking to move on my 2003 2.0L Turbo Petrol Vel Satis, due to needing the funds to bring over a 20 TX from France. The good: Despite having 238,000 on the clock, it runs beautifully. Full beige leather interior still in excellent condition. MOT till 05/16. All door pockets, cup holders and rear under seat storage operating like new. Fully electric and heated front seats still functioning fully. Icy cool and fully functional air conditioning. The bad: Both rear tyre pressure sensors defective (who cares at £90 a time, just check them at the garage like normal folk). Stereo radio works, but has a jammed cd slot.Also, it could do with a new set of coil pencils - it developed a misfire, and I changed 2 of them, which means it only has a very slight shudder under very hard acceleration. Front bumper has had a bump, its slightly bent. Rear bumper has a few dents and marks (which should T-cut out.) Also the rear drivers-side light perspex covers are cracked. IT REALLY IS THE DEFINITION OF AUTOSHITE - OFFERS AROUND £500 PLEASE? IT IS AN IMMENSELY COMFORTABLE AND SWISH CAR. PLUS THE LUCKY BUYER WILL HAVE THE ADDED SATISFACTION OF KNOWING THEY HELPED FACILITATE THE ARRIVAL OF A RARE 20TX TO THESE SHORES cort16, stephen01, J-Rod and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Renault20tx Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 It certainly has the best front seats I have had the pleasure to sit in since my Father sold his Renault 20 in 1996! They are a bit like BA club class fare - only miles better. They get right under your knees and have lumbar support too!
