I have a Renault Megane. It has cause more problems than it is worth. Over the past couple of weeks it has stalled constantly, so today I had it booked into the garage. However when I tried to get it to the garage this morning it wouldn't even start. I phoned the garage and they said that the call out charge to get it to the garage would be a lot of money so I was better off calling the AA. I am with the AA through LLoyds but this would count as a home start and I wasn't covered for that. So I had to upgrade my AA (about £80) after that the AA were able to come round to get it started. The AA guy said that he often gets call outs from people who own French cars. Anyway he got it started and I got it to the garage.
THe garage just called. they have to get a part for the car so I won't get it back tonight. Apparently there were five things wrong with it, all to do with the electronics. Two of which were to do with the cruise control- which is bizarre seeing as we don't have cruise control!
Anyway hopefully it will be all fixed tomorrow---- until the next time it breaks down.

I'm told those 'in the trade' refer to the car as the Renault Migrane.

Too true. My suspicions should have been raised when it came with a medicine cabinet instead of a glove box

I know a few people who have problems with their Renaults. Dad had one when we were younger and that one always broke down, usually going up hill, it hated hills
