Well lads tuck a chance on a Renault Grand Scenic 2004 1.6 16v I got this as a stop gap and herself is looking for a 7 seater as we have two small lads and one big lad,and also want to get my Subaru off the road for a good clean up.
Picked it up for 350 euro the add said clutch gone and won't start!but the tyres were all new so I couldn't go wrong [emoji1]
Have it a week yesterday and it's now running like a dream,good bit of work done and it's still standing me under 1k just go's to show there are some bargains out there.
I know being a Renault it won't be long before I'm eating my words but so far so good[emoji106]
This is what's done so far:
Full service
Plugs
Filters
Oil
New Renault crank sensor
New clutch kit with release bearing
New gear oil
New 60AH battery
Rear gearbox mounting
Upper engine mounting
Two front discs 300mm
Front brake pads
That's it when I picked it up.
Clutch was well past it!
This is why it wouldn't start crank sensor was melted by the clutch Id say..
So stripping it out now for a full clean up.
Even found cool little Renault pump with all the tool kit in the boot.
Only thing I didn't look at yet is I have an electric hand brake fault,hope it's not a major problem but I'll pull it all out and have a look.
If there is any Renault experts here Id appreciate any advice[emoji106]just don't tell me to burn it I'm in too deep now[emoji1]
