Hi, fancy a Grand Espace, circa 2005.
Test drove a 2.2 diesel auto, no go at all and that was just with me and sales rep on board.
Want to tow my caravan, carry 6 bikes {on the roof} plus wife & kids and enough stuff in the boot for upto 5 weeks away.
The 3.0 and indeed 2.2 Ren diesels keep blowing up, the turbos go pop every 30 to 50k - so I read !!
They also do a 3.5 V6 petrol unit, made by Nissan, as used in the mighty Nissan 350Z and many USA Nissan cars.
The renault Grand Espace 3.5 will do almost 30 MPG on a good day {only a bit less than my old Volvo 2.3 RWD petrol} and goes like stink!! Test drove one, went home to think about it, phoned up to say I'd have it, but been sold 20 mins earlier!!
Does anyone have a 3.5 Esapce or indeed owt with a 3.5 Nissan Petrol engine. - If so any probs with the engine?
I'll only do 5k to 7k yr in it, so will only cost about £300 to £400 to run more than a diesel. Used pertol versions sell for less too.
Cheers Paul.
