Why do you say that? Every car has faults if thats what you're referring to. I think what the problem is people just think "Renault = shite".. Same as Skoda etc but you'd be surprised.

Lovely lookin cars they are I looked at them last year
One thing is to look after the key try not to drop it or bang it round we have a fleet of the meganes and they suffer with the keys loosing its memory and the car not starting

Yeah they are.. Quite a bit of road presence about them too I think.
Oh I didn't know that.. I'll keep that in mind mate, thanks

Am a secret French man love the stuff lol.. Am at knockhill on that Sunday so depends what time a get back! Dont need it no mores mate, ave got it at my work haha.. Cheers anyways
Looks very, very nice Mick! That interior is gorgeous too. Think you were spot on getting a petrol if you're doing such low mileage. Surely 15 miles a day in the FR TDI is only... 1 fill up a month? 
Always thought these look good. I've heard stories of poor reliability where Renault are concerned but here's hoping with a loving and careful owner like yourself then they'll be no problems with this one

My mate has just bought an R26.R in bright blue, with the red wheels/cage etc etc. He previously had an identical R26 to yours and loved it, hence the .R
Brilliant choice, doubters see below

Very Nice, I just can't bring myself to buy a french car again.
Saying that, I'm now driving a Jaguar XJ and the last British car I owned was the most unreliable.
Still got the MK5 Beeza FR TDI and the bike but bike weather's nearly over though

You had a french car before then? No worries mate, hopefully you'll be there and I'll let you see the Meg in the flesh Looks very, very nice Mick! That interior is gorgeous too.

Thanks Chris
Yeah I agree the interior is lovely, no rattles and the seats are really comfy and hug you pretty well! Yeah I was filling up roughly once every 3 weeks.. Not really worth keeping the diesel for that. I done quite a bit of reading before I decided to buy it, and the majority of the common faults with these are little things like window regulators etc (Which Renault help fund the repair as they know its a common problem). Touch wood nothing major happens, but from what I've seen so far it's built to a very high standard - More so than my Ibiza I would say!

I always thought French car's were crap, but this has surprised me, as I said above, from what I've seen so far it seems much better built than my Ibiza
Installed some 6k's tonight - Look so much better, more crisp

Was chatting with a mate the other day, forgotten what the car in question was but to change a bulb on it required taking the relevant front wheel off, the arch liner and then get your hands in a 3"x3" gap to change the bulb!
Have to say, my bottom lip hit the floor!

Yeah lol.. That's what I'd say
That's exactly what you have to do, minus the arch liner part, there's a small panel in the wheel arch that you remove. But who's great idea was it to make you take the wheel off, and fit your hand into a small 3"x3" gap to change a bulb
Can't even get in through the bay, there's less room in there than there was in my PD130
