We purchased it new in September 2003 did 10,000 miles in it we then had it converted to LPG, I did some research and we had the Prins system installed, it does 300 miles on £15 of LPG. equivelent to 70MPG.
Problems:
Had all four coils replaced under warrenty, have had one more go since, had front drivers door window mechanism replaced under warrenty (car was over 3 years old at this point)
the heater blower thingy went, cost me £50 from renault decided to have a go & fit it myself with my trusty Haynes, it was a bit fiddley but did it in 45 mins (renault quoted me 1 to 2 hours @£70 an hour
)
Had cam belt changed at 70,000 miles, 12,000 miles later the water pump went, so while they did the water pump had a new cam belt as well for the sake of £30.
Just passed its second MOT,, biggest problem is bulbs, also the sun roof has seized through lack of use,, it trys to open but doesn't.
I did the front pads & discs,, its only just had a new set of pads on the rear after 107,000 miles
Just put a new battery on,
My wife does a 120 mile round trip 4 days a week, car has been great. thinking of changing it but proly won't get much for it. I do oil & filter changes my self every 18000 miles using fully synth
Question:
How many miles can I expect from the 1.6 engine?
Thankyou
Mark
