For Sale For Sale- Laguna II 2.2 dCi Initiale - £450 - Cheltenham

[Guest Hooli]

My phone app is called 'Renault Radio Code Generator' by jmt products. I'm sure google will find instructions for which code.

[SiC]

I think the satnav on these is a bit more than what a radio code generator can generate.

[Guest Hooli]

Pffft, who needs sat-nav? the AA truck will have it's own.

I'm going to fit the OEM Cabasse head unit this weekend and see what happens

Anyone got any Autoshite tips for cleaning leather seats? Ones in this aren't too bad but just a bit grubby as you'd expect from beige.

[beko1987]

Cif but lightly. Or kitchen spray, but them apply some leather feed

[Kiltox]

Looks like sat nav in this is a no go - the amplifier unit is missing and what I thought was the original head unit isn't

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Yo Kiltox, I fetched my Gooner bush tool from the garage t'other day, if you need it gis a shout!

Muchos gracias senor testes - they're not as bad as I expected though so I might hold off for a couple of months!

[Kiltox]

Someone talk to me about drains on these - noticed earlier when I opened the tailgate a shit load of water run out of it so I assume something is blocked somewhere

[vaughant]

Olive oil and good quality kitchen paper like Regina for leather, amazing how much crap comes out with it 😷😷😷😷

The oil feeds it nicely then.

 

Or pound shop leather wipes, pretty good stuff.

[DeeJay]

Lux soap flakes, (pure soap, no detergents) and a soft toothbrush.

That'd wierd that someones removed it. Afaik there are 5 main bits to the system. Display, controls in centre, CD player, DVD player in cubbyhole and amp unit thing in the glovebox behind the trim.

[Kiltox]

So I still have the display, controls and DVD unit. Missing amp and CD player.

 

Guessing I'm short a bit of wiring loom too.

[Kiltox]

Think I'll remove the controls and fit a cup holder. Can't spend a lot on this one because it's not the engine I'd want to put any effort into

[sierraman]

If I'm honest I'd put my time into making sure the EGR is free and the supply to the turbo is good as this is what kills them.

[Kiltox]

Isn't that what kills the 1.9?

[sierraman]

Yeah the EGR seizes and causes mayhem with everything!

 

Saying all that I'm going to fuck about changing the dash bulbs later

[Dirk Diggler]

Didn't know where else to put this; there's a 2006 3.0 v6 estate on UK plates for sale for a few hundred quid on adverts.ie at the moment; useless over here (1500 a year tax, and probably 1500-2000 to rereg it as Irish) thought it may tickle somebody's fancy

 

Edited to add €450 http://www.adverts.ie/car/renault/laguna/2006-renault-laguna/10854918

[Kiltox]

Drove this again tonight after it sitting outside in the cold for days and it had a quite hilarious* failure to... be a car

 

Drivers door wouldn't close until I fucked around with the latch with de-icer and opening/closing it a few times!

Missed this - that's a bargain!!

[Kiltox]

Oh and NEWSFLASH - all four electric windows work!!!

[Kiltox]

Urgh. The Laguna is strong in this one

 

Neither the tailgate or the split opening window thing work. They did, then stopped in the frost and came back, now don't at all. Blocked roof drains are very suspect all round because I think I have water ingress into the cabin judging by how steamed up it gets

 

HID headlights aim themselves too low and are meant to be auto adjusting AFAIK

 

Takes forever to get to operating temperature - I know it's a big old lump of diesel arse but I'm guessing the thermostat has seen better days

 

Not getting the sat nav etc to work has taken the wind out of my sails a bit on this one - I just want it to work enough rather than be perfect*

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I drove my Gooner out into the wilds of Northumberland today, bloody lovely

 

[The Moog]

Did you leave your details and ETA with a friend in case of emergencies

[25v6turbo]

The tailgate/glass not opening is the glass button screwed,they rust up when full of water,remove it and clean,dry it out then it should be OK until you get a spare,the tailgate thinks the glass is open so it wont allow you to open the actual tailgate as you can,t open both separately when they work correctly,it one or the other!

Remove the wiper arms and the scuttle and pull the stupid rubber flaps of the side of the scuttle panel and clean through,the peel back the rear of the front inner shit shields,remove the rubber bungs at the end of the sunroof drain tubes and snip the actual tubes back a tad to get them nice and clear,also scoop all the mud and crap from the lower inner wings and clean front wing lower drains,

The rear drains are tucked up behing the rare archs but rarely block.

Headlamps will be a seized or broken height adjusters,which are on the lower front arms and rear axle,often the stupid plastic arm just breaks from the ball joints.

Sat nav I have the complete setup from a 51 V6 Initiale I just broke but its not the same as later facelift cars,which I have an 05 plate V6 Initiale sports tourer,but I broke one for spares and over 20 years with Renault taught me a few things....

Actually I must have a first a Laguna 2 that has EVERYTHING working,yes everything as it should,wont be long though I guess...

The tailgate water is interesting,if you look the tailgate has it own drain tubes that come from under the glass(when you get the window open)in the middle and actually exit either side of the numberplate lights,you will see the circles,it also has one on the tailgate side aswell,the lower rear tailgate trim holds water until you open it and it pours out,your engine is a G9T engine,don,t over fill it with oil as it will go bang just like a 1.9 F9Q lump

[Kiltox]

Guess I'm climbing in the back of the fucking thing tomorrow then - I assume I'll be able to unlatch the tailgate using a screwdriver

[25v6turbo]

Just gently pop the window glass switch out and dry it out,should work.

[Kiltox]

Ah right, it can be removed without the tailgate open then.

 

Number plate light on that side isn't working either so I'll sort that out too
