stormee Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Are you really sure about the failure? Looked this problem up and in German Renault 25 Forum I found that probably a voltage problem (alternator) could affect that the reverse relais would not engage.

Baz Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Sounds like a heart-breaking dilemma....Whatever you have to do, I hope someone else will save it if you're unable to....It's far too nice to merely scrap surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
406V6 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Obviously it's your car and your money but if you ask me, using the logic that "the car is worth £500 so it's not worth spending £500 on it is the wrong sort of thinking. You have to look at where that spend will get you. If it's a fully working decent car that you trust it ought to be worth it. If you buy some other car it could be a heap of s*** that needs a huge amount of money spent on it to get it into a state suitable for daily driving. My car needs a new cam belt every 5 years and even at a local specialist the replacement costs £800. The car is barely worth that but once the belt is replaced I have a decent reliable car that drives better than some piece of new german tin costing £30k with stupid wheels, rock hard ride and leather that is more like vinyl. The price you've quoted for the replacement box with fitting seems pretty reasonable. It sounds a shame to scrap the car for that problem. Good luck in scraping together the funds, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
