the megane has probs :D

[imported_abyss113]

well some of you know that i am moving house soon (tommorow in fact ) and i bought a stupid megane coupe for a runaround and its been a bit of a bother from day one from blown head gaskets and fried alternators and now in a latest turn of events yup you guessed it another problem

im gettng a clucnking from the engine sounds high up so im gonna go on a hunch and say worn cams or maybe bearings but before i fork out more anyone know how to or wanna check it for me

and where abouts for a camshaft kit for the car also

Mate, I heard all about the problems the other week, you've had no luck with that Johnny Frog motor...go back to a reliable Italian brand

 

[imported_abyss113]

tell me about it i have been trying to find a nice italian lobby but no avail so ive got a new car but wont be here till end of next week so youll have to wait and see it but ill say i never thought id buy one of them haha

 

[scottyJTD]

Not even a hint as to what it is??

 

[imported_abyss113]

its an automatic haha but then all my cars are so not much but its still not a 100% done deal yet so ill not say much else on it although it will last longer than the megane has

 

[imported_Ransoman]

Is it remotely interesting in any way?

Please tell me it is not a volvo (i am noticing a recuring theme here, a lot of people are moving to volvo's).

 

[imported_Mark]

Is it something reliable and practical or are you going down the adventurous and impractical route?

 

[imported_puntomatt]

I better not be Korean or even worse...German

 

[imported_abyss113]
