Re: My new motor,
The gearstick in my mk1 Clio I don't remember moving.
It had the up-and-left reverse your pug has.
4 speed so had to rake it on the motorways.
The ZX used the shake the gearstick on idle with the XUD diesel engine.

Re: My new motor,
just had alook at the springs,
passenge front one as snapped at the top,
weird tho, as ionly heard a dull thud, no clang,
they look like Massive springs like the 406.

Re: My new motor,
looks like a tidy motor Lozz and at that price it would have been rude not to buy it
We looked at those laguna's before we bought the 407 and a couple of things put us off, firstly the Tubo issue and the rear susension had a n issue , but cant remember what it was now. Also Renault screwed up there towing information on them so they were plated really low so could only pull a tiny caravan and we were looking for a 5 berth.
nice cars tho my brothers had 3 of them in the past.

Re: My new motor,
Cheers Trem,
Tbh ithought they wasnt worth much, hence why i haggled with the car dealer igot it off,
but saying that all his cars where 1 and 2 years old the 04 lag was just loose change to him,
by the time he wouid of put it through auction and paid fees etc, he wouidnt of made much,
that was what iput to him anyway and he said that was spot on .
