Zelandeth Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Oh god...*runs away screaming* I don't think at the garage we ever came across another marque which had as randomly failure prone electronics as Renaults of this vintage. I seem to recall wheel bearings made of a substance not unlike cheese being a common issue too. ...Which is a shame as they're not a bad steer and a comfy place to be when they're working. Just not sure I'd ever consider one - and that's coming from someone with an overcomplicated Citroen... Okay I lie...I would consider one, especially if it was free...would still rather have a 25 though, especially a phase 1 in Monaco spec...

dozeydustman Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Number plate is missing an 'I'. ? Great save of a family heirloom. Can't remember last time I saw a Laguna on the road. stereotype and Vince70 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereotype Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I know of one of these cutting about with a broken wishbone. Has been since April. Have fun with those french electrics, I know of a Clio who's dash was drilled into to paint over a warning light that just wouldn't go off Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 I've had a Laguna II before, so I know what I'm getting myself in for. Well that Lag was very reliable (angle on here is now the custodian) - partly because the V6 in it was the best engine out of them all. Here are a few pictures of this fine motor. To think others in my family saw this as a banger and only fit for scrap!This is why we got my Grandad to stop driving. Parking by touch rather than sight. I'll probably not get these bits painted or fixed up as they're part of the charm and history of the car for me.

loserone Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Definitely doesn't look fit for scrap. Edward and Charlie would have been very upset.

bigstraight6 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I’m such a Luddite, I was genuinely enthralled watching the start up vid of this Renault that can talk. Looks like a very nice car..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because it's sole purpose in life is to moan at you either because you've done something wrong (e.g. door not closed) or something has broken. Not the best thing to give reassurance to a customer in your products! GrumpiusMaximus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Tidybeard Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 so lets put this into context here- we have a chap who is scared to death about reliability of an mgb with the mechanical complexity of a carthorse now geting excited about a loonyguna 2 ?

SiC Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 1.8 unfortunately. Coupled to a 4 speed auto. At least it's a petrol. Apparently it's especially slow when the box falls into limp home and only uses 3rd gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only done a hundred miles or so since the last MOT. In that time it's been in the garage. Plan is to bung it straight in and see what happens.

purplebargeken Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Probably wants a once over to the brake discs with a wire wheel on a drill and some compressed air to blow the cobwebs away. Cataclean and fresh pez is a good idea. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 Unfortunately I won't get a chance to do any of that. Apart from maybe bung a cataclean bottle in. Going to be lobbed straight in and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
