With reference to both the answers below. My daughter has had a 99 megane coupe for 4 years without a problem, and my daughter in law has had a 2006 Clio for 2 years with again, no problems. If you know someone who has had these problems you will obviously be aware of them and most normal punters will act accordingly. My Experience of Renault up to now had not been negative so I bought one. It was not until I had problems and found this website that I discovered the raft of problems that seem to be out there. Its probable that if you knew of these problems and do not work in the motor trade you either knew of someone who had endured them or had a Renault of your own. I asked a question hoping for advice on how to cure the problem from some of the many helpful people who have contributed previously. Instead two people who obviously fall into one of the above three categories criticise me for not knowing what they know, and buying a car based on good experiences which has now got problems, without them knowing any of the details. If you do not know how to spell 'moron' simply copy the name at the end of either of those two answers as it obviously means the same thing
