Thanks Gordon, I feel the same about my Megane, but it is getting expensive to maintain and reliability is more of an issue than I have known with cars since the bad old days of the 70's and 80's. You mention a recall, I can't help feeling that this expensive (£170) repair would not have been necess...

Engine Fades after starting and runs unevenly

This is my first post on this forum, and I would appreciate any help anyone can give. A few days ago I had a problem starting the car and since then have experienced problems with the engine cutting out. The problem is less when warm, but if I stop and then re-start the problem always comes back. Th...
