Age tells you nothing about a car, neither does it's service history tbh. I frequently see cars that are 6months old which are put to shame by some which are 20years old. I also see cars which have a FDSH that are right hangers too, serviced yes but that doesn't mean the owner has had anything other than filters, plugs and oil etc changed at the correct intervals. An abused turd of a car is just that, regardless of the reg plate on it. I can't pass comment on your cars though not having seen them.
Monaro VXR/Cupra TDi
chloe m1 clio - as a shed general play toy to distruct when were bored
iggy laguna - for the dogs
rou saxo vts - for fun
sammy saxo 1.4 - general town/shopping car
kylie mk2 clio 1.2 - long distances without dogs
Apart from the Saxo VTS and the Laguna all the rest are unecessary. Do you get some sort of pleasure from having a hum-drum fleet.
Please enlighten us.....share the perversion....:S

i would avoid the laguna. 1.9 diesel prone to problems, poor electrics (especially tire pressure sensors) and they eat rear axle bushings.
Ye the 1.9 suffers form the oil never being chnaged often enough but the later phases cars like this have redesigned bit so should ne better not like the early generation laguna 2 stuff which is usless.
RB 182
and do you have a car no, i thought so yes i did.
nor have they had many owners :approve:
RB 182
sh1t'd what was i doing an hour ago :S
RB 182
all im saying is why have 5 cars if only al can drive them all ,you aint passed ur test yet.
They are a nice car to drive, and have plenty of toys for the money!
BUT, be warned (my mum has one, good job im a renault mechanic!), they eat suspension arms, they eat tyres, they eat rear axle bushes and knock like said, the tyre pressure monitors are w**k, the UCH playing up is pretty common, the gearbox is made of chocalate and WILL break at somepoint!, and there also very very prone to turbos!!, when they go it will start running on its own oil, so unless its stalled quickly its goodnight vienna!! that takes some quick thinking when its revving off the clock aswell!!!
Other than that there a nice motor, i would have one myself, but then i can fix it when its broke, only paid £500 for my mums on a 52 plate! needed a turbo and was due a full service anc cambelt, was quoted over £2000 at renault so decided to scrap it! sold it me for some beer tokens!!! Get in!

She had a new turbo before we had her, had new cambelt, not sure what else but she has had quite alot done. Bought her new tyres when we got her some decent ones so might last a while. Expensive tyres for 17s though.
No wrong i drive them everywhere but the motorway every single one of them exept Chloe that isnt road legal atm

5 cars all for Al to drive... and they're all named... lol
i can understand the need for 3 cars (just about). we had the LY 182, Trophy and another 'commuting' vehicle but being totally honest there comes a time when you need to be sensible and have 1 fun car along with 1 sensible car.
i'd keep the VTS, Laguna and one of the other cheap ones and hold it at that... but that's just me being sensible!
hopefully the Laguna might be a good one as everyone i know that's owned one has had nothing but trouble with electrics and mechanicals
