Living with it

@ 7ysr old, had problems with rough engine, turned out the choke needed a clean and lube!

It's not a BMW, but its not a Kia or Daewoo either. Plus it's not a bad shaped car when you look at an escort from the same era.. the reason I bought it from new.
Comfort
Only the longest journeys get to be a pain.

Security and Service
Security
Self activating immobiliser, key plip, window etching.
Service
Never get offered a courtesy car, you need to ask. Renault prices reasonable, but better service and cheaper from local workshops.
