Im looking to replace my Williams with one of these soon and wondered if there were any known faults I should look out for when buying one of these?

Also what sort of money should I be paying?

Oh and If anyones interested in my Williams let me know?

leak under seats, 4k rattle, leaks under rear seats, leaks in rear bootwell, oil leak at top of engine, engine mounts, gearbox / gearbox fluid, brake discs for excessive wear, none standard bits...

I would suggest a £100 AA check to be honest.

Yoz, you say leak on top of engine... ive got this right now.. booking it in this afternoon... what is the cause etc??.. I had a similar prob 6 months ago but from the top back of the engine - was due to a blowmn rocker cover gasket..

cheers

drivers side, under the rocker cover/plenum chamber, they all do it to some extent, the best thing to do is to use a better sealant around the gasket.

If renault say it isnt a warranty job, they are lying, it is just a big task for them, it is a whole top of engine off job.
