Laguna II Facelift - Did they iron out the elec problems ?

[MondeoMan1981]

Evening all.

Planning the next car... Owned a Laguna II a while back which when working was a nice drive but suffered many of the common problems...

Wondered - did they iron them out with the facelift ? The value of those seems exceptionally good, especially the diesels...

Get the latest car possible. Personally, I would avoid the 1.9 Dci 130 as it has a DPF and needs servicing with expensive oil every 9k/12m. However, the 2.0DCi 150 is a superb engine, and chain drive.

If the cars you see have fully operational electrics at 5> years old, you should be OK. Make sure both keys operate fully.

I have a lag2a I don't think I'd buy one out of warranty

my rear lights stopped working so i thought i'd get a wiring loom out a scrappy only to find 5 lags in the scrappy, all with butchered wiring looms.

it's not all bad though. 2003, 80k miles, only things to go wrong in the 2 years i've had it, both front springs broke, tre's lower ball joints, the rear bushes and the clutch/dmf seem to be on their way out...

Thanks all.

The one I had was a 2001/51. I'm looking at those around 05/55 plate. Is there a 120 dci as well as the 130 ? both with nasty dpf/fap ?

Looking at a 55 plate 1.9 dci 120, 6 speed and belt done (76k on clock) - any opinions/experiences please ?

don't know about the II, but my old man has had a III for awhile now (one of the first of them - 07 dynamique s dci 150),and its never had any problems.

check the clutch isn't slipping and rattle from the dmf on startup, make sure all the doors lock with the central locking and that all the rear lights work, check the springs all round havn't snapped and if there is clunking from the rear as this will be the rear bushes.

Hello, where do you know me from then? renaultforums or 106oc or somewhere else?

106oc, although I haven't been that active on there for awhile, 4 years and you kind of get fed up seeing the same questions over and over again. I am on the renault forums too, but I post on there very rarely.
