the infra red ones p-s are coded like the meganes as well btw.

so if the battery dies you need to the code from renault to start the car

1.5k for a Y plate dci lag hatchback? Thats still pretty cheap!

Why not an RN? I can't really spot the difference between that and the RT apart from not all RNs have sunroofs.

i've still got my laguna 1 ph2

W reg (2000) 1.6 16v RT, 37,000 miles on the clock, comfy and reliable, returns about 35 mpg, not the quickest car going but will sit quite happily at a ton on the motorways

its quite odd, the car is incredibly good yet i hardly drive it, because of having the 19 sitting there begging to be ragged about lol

bleh @ chris h lol

and tbh, if i had never owned/driven it i would have said exactly the same as Chris, don't bother with the 1.6
But i really cant find anything wrong with mine what so ever, drop the clutch and it will quite happily wheel spin away for a good 50 yds heh (prolly due to the crap tyres i got on it at the mo thou)

Note to Neo:

Not a good selling point!

lol but i am not trying to sell it at the mo and its not how i usually drive it.
TBH the car is great, its inconspicious, its reliable, its comfy, it has a HUGE load space (i can fit a r19 door in there easily)

I really ought to drive it more often and save some mileage on the 19

There's 2 DTI's on ebay with dead turbo's that might be worth looking at

Where did you come up with that figure??? You reckon that's what it'd cost to get it delivered?

Forum Moderator Joined: 02 Mar 2004 Posts: 19978

well swindon is right beside london and your the arse end of scotland. in fact it would probably be more than 400.

swindon aint right next to london bout 70+miles away lol

why dont you fly down 1 way 2 bristol then train to swindon then drive back

would cost to much if you booked train and plane in advance

Forum Moderator Joined: 02 Mar 2004 Posts: 19978

ok tosser, when you look at a map of england where peopel like you live you will see london, then to the left of it is swindon, so its right fucking next to it isn't it?

Retroholic Joined: 23 Dec 2005 Posts: 3315

Thats on the East coast up from Leeds, going to Swindon from where lindsey is just over double the distance i did so yes, i reckon it would top Â£400 to go pick it up

Hi Guys. Well Mr H, I listened to everything you advised and completely ignored most of it in the end *hides*.

I went to look at a Laguna today, it's P reg (got same infra-red as 19 had so don't think it needs the code from Renault if it goes wrong), bodywork is mint, full service history, mileage a bit higher than I would have liked (156k), good colour (blue) and the strut mounts have been done already. It drives spot on too, no clutch, gearbox or engine problems. I'll be it's 3rd owner.

It's a 1.8 RN (spotted some more differences between RN and RT but I can live without a sunroof and electric mirrors. Black bumpers don't look too bad on a navy car anyway).

1.8 is powerful enough for me bearing in mind my nearest motorway is the other side of Perth Rolling Eyes

Thanks for all your help and advice, it is much appreciated. PM me a quote to do the cambelt and service when you have time please.
