My First Megane II
Posted: Wed Jul 03, 2013 11:19 am
Hello Everyone!
I’ve just put down a deposit on a 53 plate 1.9DCI Expression Tourer.
96K
Service history
Belt and water pump @79k
Serviced @87k
MOT Jan14
Four new Tyres
Great condition, except Temic unit on the Passenger door has died (meh… should be able to change that)
I’ve gone for a Renault again because for the money they’ve provided great service to me and my extended family. I previously have owned a 51 Megane I 1.9dci Expression, a X reg 1.9dci Alize Scenic (can you see a theme developing here??), an S reg 1.6e Scenic and of course a 1.2 Clio I Versaille. Added to this my missus is currently enjoying more than 8years of ownership out of a X-reg 1.4 base model Scenic I (phase 2) that’s toured France twice as well as the welsh mountains more times than Ivor the engine, My sister in law owns a Megane II 225cup and the mother-in-law runs the sister in law’s old 2004 Clio 1.2 Dynamique.
My last Megane sadly took a bullet for me in January , when it went into the side of a HGV on the motorway after hitting some ice. I walk away… sadly the Megane didn’t since then I’ve been on a push bike until I found something decent.
It’s going to be used as a family bus, Commuter, Race Transporter for my karting and R/C race gear, Photo shoot transport (I write occasionally for a R/C magazine) and last but not least – Camper – Yep I’ll be sleeping in it at this year’s British 24hr kart race.
The Questions
• OK , start with a random one. Does the Tourer have a 12v plug in the back? I can’t remember ?
• Where can I get replacement door grabs for the front passenger side (peeling)
• How strong are the 6-cog gearboxes? - the Scenic dci went all atomic-pepper-grinder on me, locking in the middle of a motorway roundabout and cost me a bucket load to replace even with a recon.
