	Went to look at it today. Engine sounded like a bag of spanners and was juddering really badly. Some vacuum hose was missing which was probably causing that, loads of oil around the exhaust manifold/turbo which had been spraying quite far for quite a while and badly washed to cover it up. Nice enough apart from that, high specced, interior was shocking as expected, they really are cheap rubbish. Need to keep an eye out for a decent one.

I know the interior will be made from kit kat wrappers and blutac, as long as the car lasts 10k or so without falling apart. :lol: Ah, sorry chief, that's a bit new for me. I've got a '97 petrol model and it drives very nicely. Only real problem as I can tell is rear axle torsion bars get noisey. Turn up the wireless:thumbs: If mine's anything to go on John, should be a pleasant drive. Expect the worst though, as I do. It is a Renault afer all. :D

	avoid the 2.2 engine its horribly underpowered, very noisy and is prone to faults with a list as long as your arm. the 1.9dci is a much better engine and its newer, the 2.2diesel lump was in the 1st generation of laguna's back in 1996 when they were released.

	Anybody know anything about these? Possibly going to look at a laguna 2.2 dci estate at the weekend, high mileage one, 100k. The extent of my renault knowledge is clio's and I know nothing at all about their diesel engines. (except this one is a 150bhp and remaps to 180 :o ) It's to replace a quite frankly rubbish astra estate, bits of trim falling off isn't really an issue for this but needs to be mechanically sound. Any specifics worth checking on these?
