I'd you're relying on that satnav, good luck. Mine just serves as a big flat space to blu-tak my phone onto.

Gah, just noticed wheeltrims. V6 owners can't possibly be the type to have wheeltrims.

Good:

 

MOT September

Goes like a bleeding rocket (1.6 pez) and discovered it has a rev limiter in 3rd gear.

Drives quite well.

'In family from new, great tread on tyres ready to go.no oil or water leaks'

 

Indifferent:

 

(I had to) tax to get me home

 

Ugly

 

Has bonnet pins ('to save spending £300 having the cable done')

Central locking not working using the key, fob batteries inop.

Boot won't stay up

Driver's seat jammed all the way back (I'm 6ft 3, so it's not going to bother me)

The steering wheel has been taped up (really)

Battery possibly suspect, no problem have a spare one.

Only seen it (in real life) in the dark.

 

The best:

 

Price?

 

£64.

 

Sixty four English pounds. I love low scrap prices.

You've already agreed to swap it for a Laguna 2?

So if you raffle at £1.20 per ticket you'll still turn a profit...

Sixty four quid. I've just spent that on three days worth of diesel. Fuck.

Oh that's good because we all know where you can get a complete car for spares.

Hang on, £64?

 

For £24 less you could have bought the last special edition v6 in existence

I've heard that these Lagunas were assembled around the heater matrix and the headlights as to change them you have to remove almost every other component.  Perhaps the bonnet cable went in there as assembly step number 3?

 

£64 is incredible, however FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS BUY LAGUNAS

Hopefully the battery is ok as it started first whang this morning and got me to work ok. Locking it is fun, you have to close the driver's door from the outside, open the o/s/r one, lean through and push the button between the seats.

This was the first generation of Renault to really suffer from late 90s Renault AIDS. That said, apart from coil packs, it looks like everything that normally goes wrong on these has already happened and it appears to be still working. So no* sudden surprises.

Today on lagunashite.com....!! At £64 these really are at the bottom of the heap aren't they, back in the halcyon days of buying a car for less than the price of a night on the town!

I thought Mk1 Lagunas were okay, they've just succumbed to age and owner apathy. If Cavcraft can sell this on for a profit dugong might implode.

I've always fancied a Mk1 Laguna, nice work!

 

If it proves to be a good car, swap for a not so good ZX Bosch?

They weren't well received for reliability at all. However now they are seeming to be gaining this thing that they are reliable. The same has happened with the Scenic I.

 

Either because the crap ones have died off, leaving the ones that are reliable and solid ... or is it that the newer cars are a whole lot worse?
