Roffle Camembert flavoured Safrane - £6 a ticket - updated list page 7

[25v6turbo]

Yep got a nice stash of Safrane bits(Phase 1)but all V6 but some parts are the same,forget dealers now,the parts are near non existant at dealers.

I really think the Safrane is a sleeper and shortly a good example will be collectable and near impossible to find in the U.K.

Its great to see its been giving you good service with no real issues,but if you need any parts give me a shout and I will see if I can help.

[nigel bickle]

Mine has become near impossible to start, but once running is absolutely fine.

 

Switch it off, near impossible to start, cold, warm or stinking hot- makes no difference

 

Coil? Middle son has no clue, or who to ask.....

[25v6turbo]

What year/engine does it have?sounds abit like a TDC or coolant temp sensor problem?

[RobT]

I've done a few road trips and had fun with this, but inevitably the itch for more chod has started up again (and has already been bought).

 

Details:

 

-MoT until 7th September

-73,700 miles

-Serviced 2,000 miles ago by a previous owner who was a Renault Master Technician. Is that akin to wizard status in French car circles or something?

-Spacious and comfortable with working cruise control for ease of waft.

-Reliable, believe it or not for a 24 year old automatic Renault. Or it has been for the 1,600 miles I've done in it. DISCLAIMER - this may not be the case for the new owner...

-Reasonable economical for a big 2 litre pez auto. 34mpg on a run and 29mpg around town.

 

The not so good bits:

 

-Some groaning noises from the front end at slow speed when on lock. There was an advisory for the OS inner tie rod ball joint so it could be that.

-New centre and rear exhaust sections three months ago but the rear one is making noises already, like a baffle is gone or something. Noise is intermittent and is better than the old one which had holes in it.

-Automatic gearbox warning light of doom goes on and off at random. There's no discernible difference in how it drives, so I've just put it down to French electrics and ignore it.

-It has cut out on me a couple of times in the past few weeks when starting. Re-starting with a blip of the throttle seemed to sort it.

-Various giffer dents and scratches.

-Heater is rubbish on very cold days. These early Safranes had heater ducting made of cardboard apparently i.e. bog rolls, and it degrades over time.

-Salvage marker on the V5 so has probably been a Cat C at some point as they're worth nowt, and I have noticed the driver's door is newer than the passenger one (door badge is Vi whereas the correct NS rubbing strip shows as RT).

 

The money shots.

 

 

 

 

Jacque Chirac approved levels of rear leg room

 

 

Vast load space with the seats down.

 

 

I will miss it but can't keep 'em all.

I've seen this one in person, and it is a nice old barge. I expect you need a straight sale with new chod incoming, but will have 2 tickets if it goes that way.

[stripped fred]

That looks great in the photos. GLWTS.

[EssDeeWon]

Very straight looking motor, looks great inside too.

 

Quite high on the WOULD factor.

 

GLWTS/R

[seacow]

Bollox if it was any colour other than silver (don't ask) I'd have been on a train tomorrow!

[bramz7]

Hnnng. If only I was a bit more experienced with my driving (i.e. not at a stage where a 2 litre auto would wreck me), I'd be all over it. Oh that and the absolute zero space I have, even with the blue BX on the way out. 

 

 

Good luck with the sale. I bet it's incredibly comfortable, 90s high spec Renaults are lovely inside.

[RobT]

Sold! To a serial shiter from The North.

[HMC]

My money is on johnk

[JohnK]

There's no point me even denying it these days to be fair.

[DVee8]

Oh that moves it closer to me!

[bramz7]

Nice companion to the 19....

[JohnK]

I just figured that should this Director job I'm going for come off, I will need a classy executive saloon that's not a broken W220 Mercedes S Class.

[KruJoe]

You'll just have to buy another car then John, this one's a hatchback.

[JohnK]

Haha same sentiment applies, it's been a long day 😆

[forddeliveryboy]

My money is on johnk

More likely rb?

[RobT]

Right Ho, time to move this on as I'll be buying something else this week and could do with the funds.

I'd trust it to go anywhere, and did consider taking it to France next week but will probably take the Astra again. I'm not anticipating huge interest but hopefully I can get 300 quids worth of tickets sold.

 

Cheers!

[bramz7]

Yeah number 7 please!

[drum]

Two randoms please

[barefoot]

Fuckity Fuck.

 

Just a very single random please.

[NorfolkNWeigh]

In honour of he Safranes glorious predecessors I'll take numbers 30, 20 and 25 please.

I see this as the perfect French Roadtrip car for this summer, I was looking for a German rear wheel drive, manual estate. This fits the bill splendidly.

[angle]

And a random for me please.

[alcyonecorporation]

12 and 21, y0. 

[phil_lihp]

I've been in this as a passenger and it's...very French.  Cool though, I'll take a random please Rob.

Should do the job no bother.  Depending on your load it should be big enough, although you may have to develop a strategy to zone out the noise of the cheap replacement exhaust...thankfully it's intermittent.

[egg]

2 tickets please Rob.

[Schaefft]

I've been looking for a V6 phase 1 Safrane for quite a while (I think this thread even was my reason to register here). I would call one my own now if the seller wouldn't have been such a gigantic moron (as is often the case for cars of this price range...). Thats why I ended up with the Senator, I still have a craving for this obscure french barge though, wish yours had a bigger engine!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Put me down for a couple of randii
