Help I am in a dilemma....

[Loxy]

We need to get a new daily/family & parts hauler as we had a rather worrying near miss earlier in the week in the Volvo 850 that is the current daily.

My choices so far for the money I want to spend are:

which is the sensible part of my brain working......

Or one of these (with a leaning towards orange)

Can you guys reassure me that my orange tinted glasses are helping me to make the right decision :wink:

 

[slammedresto]

def the crewcabs, megane is pants :wink:

 

[rustydiver]

Go for the crew cab and make the sensible choice. You will regret havin a Renault its French :shock: :twisted:

How will you get all of those bits home that you collect from strange people parked in fields of vw's

Excellent point, in fact if I get the bay crewcab I could fit the narrowed beam that I still havent made with your generous donation :lol:

Seen a subaru engined t25 crew cab for sale as well, bit more oomph & still practical hmmm

Has to be the crewcab - Renault Megane, you having a laugh :wink:

Not the renault fella, have you seen the ballache just to change a headlamp bulb on one of them....renault charge about 200 notes for the pleasure, so what other delights are lurking...plus its got a fat arse and has no redeeming features what so ever....

a nice syncro crewies what you want :wink:

Guy at work mentioned the bulb fiasco on renaults, I have had a sneaky peek at the syncros and they do look nice :wink:

My missus has a modern french car, seems they all suffer from electrical faults(inc hers). Go for the crewie(the bay imo), anything else just aint right :mrgreen:

 

[rob]

far more load space with the crewcab !

 

[baybus70]

I sell new Renaults! Don't buy the Megane! I abandon my company renault at every opurtunity to drive my van! You'll hate the renault, all plasticy and depreciationable! :lol:

I have a 'newish/modern' car and to get part or a fault light diagnosed cost a bomb! I could have replaced an engine, got a load of NOS goodies etc for the bay with the money I spent on an ABS unit. give me something simple anyday - if an old VW breaks - take it apart - fix it and replace - easy.

How about the mid Chevy V8 engined t25 crewie thats been doing the shows this year? Thor whatever his name is is selling his beast, also painted in orange!! :wink:

Stay away from the Megane, ive had several Renault dailys including 2 meganes, a Scenic and a Clio 172 cup, i was a glutton for punishment! .....never ever again.

My biggest bane was the bloody alarm/immobiliser, it work too well! had to walk 4 miles in snow in my shirt sleeves once, as the car would start! i had a 'Basil Faulty' moment but with snow balls :roll: . I think it took me 3 days to thaw out! :lol:

Any T25 (or subaru 2.2 engines for that matter) inspection tips, other than the obvious?
