Palazzo 477 Report post Posted April 8, 2011 Scrap heap was my first thought. Will try FF maybe. It's not my car, just trying to help with the ridiculous (and ongoing) bills. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted April 8, 2011 It will cost more to fix than the car is worth, the Laguna is a POS. Anything Auto and that old from France is crap TBH, was a dark time. I got some parts off this guy for my car, he is a rip off but service was great, same day delivery. http://www.rennojag.co.nz/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guy you mentioned has one apparently, wants $3k fitted for a 2nd hand trans, no doubt with a 30/30 guarantee. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted April 8, 2011 It was the manufacture of the gearboxes, would have been some trade agreement deal that the French Government enforced, they were shocking and went into most French cars from the late nineties to early naughties. For a laugh, call into the Renault workshop in Greenlane next time you are walking past, guaranty they will be booked up with Auto Trans swaps, I swear 90% of their business is auto swaps, and because Renault had their cars designed by aliens no one can fix them. I'm glad my gear box is designed by the Japanese thanks to Renault owning part of Nissan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted April 8, 2011 That’s reasonable cost to fix. But yea, it could crap out in 5 mins. He may have to cut hiss losses and buy a Toyota. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palazzo 477 Report post Posted April 8, 2011 Minutes... or hours ?? 30/30 guarantee. 30 seconds, or 30 metres off the yard, whichever is first. A car dealer mates favourite. Usually prefaced with "Our exclusive..." Funnily enough, Aisin-Warner (the gearbox manufacturer in question) is now 52% owned by Toyota, seems they don't give trouble in Toyotas, but do in Frenchies. It's been to Renault Greenlane, "at least $6k..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
