Renault laguna problems
Maybe a coinsidence, but I am really beginning to wonder whether or not the garage had decided to bodge the job so that when the warranty finally ran out, they could fix the problem then as a non-warranty job.

I bought a Renault Laguna 1.9 DCI from a garage in Glasgow and during the very first week I had the car, I noticed that a yellow warning light began showing on the dash. Soon things got a lot worse.

| 18-7-2007 | What do you expect if you buy a car made by workshy frog eating idiots.
The French have never won a war so what makes you think they can build a car.
They should stick to what they do best, striking, surrendering and eating cheese. | Eddie |
