General Comments
I own a Renault Grand Espace (2002) I bought it from a local renault dealer 3 years ago. After a catalogue of engine problems which included the engine shutting down whilst driving, the dealer replaced the old engine with a brand new one. Two years on I would like to say that I was enjoying trouble free motoring but this is not the case. I had a sensor replaced in th engine last year and last week my engine has went into permanent limp mode, I am dreading taking it to the local renault daeler, but its booked in for next week. Myself and my wife have now decided to get rid of if, we will probably take a loss but it will be worth it to get this car of our hands. Just one other point the support from the dealer has been terrible.
My advice if you have a Renault Espace is look around for a more reliable vehicle before you lose a lot of money.
