Hi Digger, Sounds like you have just been really unlucky. I had a Renault Megane sport Alize for 5 years. Other than not changing the timeing belt when I should have (and destroying the engine) it was mechanically sound. I agree with the other post's about using a scrap yard. I picked up a replacment engine that had done 40,000 less than mine for £150 cost me £220 all in fitted myself. Also on the renault forums same username

D1GG3R, with the sort of mileage you do perhaps you should consider something like a Citroen C3 Diesel, small but reasonably cheap to buy, will do over 60mpg on the motorway and only £30 a year road tax. It's not the best car in the world but it is definitely not the worst and many of them manage well over 250K miles and they have quite a few extras as standard.

I had a citroen before this mate. Brilliant cars in my eyes...

I probaby do about 17000 a year mate..

Its booked in for a diagnostics on friday. If they come back with anything stupid, im getting shut of it!

vw tdi is the way to go mate
