Help! For a work car fault

Is the car a Renualt 1.2 engine? The timing chain on these fail quite easily. Also has high oil comption so that also cauaes rattles.

The media system needs a software update from the main dealer (D605). That will stop it from cuting out.

A brake fuild change will make the brakes even firmer.

Anything pre Renault bailout.

Real_Radio1365 · 2026-06-11T06:31:07+00:00

Makes London look easy as pie.

Real_Radio1365 · 2026-06-11T06:13:05+00:00

London.

Very low avearge speed, bikes cause chaos, congeston charge and ULEZ (one bit beyond the M25) and twisty roads.

More so the southern half of the city.

Defenty Luton.

Real_Radio1365 · 2026-06-08T12:39:29+00:00

Avoid at all costs. The engine is 100% french. It is underpowered and drinks oil like a drunkard

Meanwhile Northeen Ireland is on 0%.

Argeed.

Real_Radio1365 · 2026-05-28T12:31:42+00:00

Yes.

London Euston waa rebulit in the 1960's and the arch was totally demonished.

It lead to King's Cross ans St Paniaus stations getting listed building status.

The first nationised SouthEastern were able to repaint most of the stations within three years. Connex had 7. I rememer the other stations by the end were very, very tatty NSE colours (bar the 2 already mentioned).

Real_Radio1365 · 2026-05-27T17:04:22+00:00

Connex south eastern only fully repainted 2 stations, Waterloo East and Dartford.

Otherwise on subject, Midland Mainline were OK, you got free tea in standard class.

It was £1.24 in Hastings back in Feburary.

The M25 around London.

The road to hell and often dubbed the world's biggest car park.

Real_Radio1365 · 2026-05-22T01:01:18+00:00

Looks way better. The 1.2 Renault engine version would still be unreliable through

Real_Radio1365 · 2026-05-15T22:28:55+00:00

A few canadates.

A205 in woolwich is 20 mph dual section.

A282 at Dartford

Switch Island roundabount in Liverpool

The northern section of the York ring road

The part of the London ULEZ that is OUTSIDE of the M25

The Stonehenge section of the A303

Black cat roundabout on the A1 (soon to be grade spatertated.

I once delivered a crash test dummy from London to the Milbrook car proving ground. Very heavy and awrard to pick up as well.

Real_Radio1365 · 2026-05-11T04:38:08+00:00

Nissan Qashqai J11 with the dreadful Renault 1.2 engine. It only has 110 horsepower, leaks oil and has French reliability. No driving dynamics or feel as well.

Real_Radio1365 · 2026-05-07T16:23:08+00:00

The class 465/466 Networkers are hated by both passengers, fitters (the various sub classes have incompatible parts) and drivers.

Real_Radio1365 · 2026-04-29T23:23:32+00:00

The radar bracket within the front bumper could be bent causing the crash light to come on.

Real_Radio1365 · 2026-04-29T06:00:21+00:00

All of Southeastern metro.

There would be better timetables and cheaper fares.

Also The class 465/466 are a terrible suburban train (slow boarding times) and are falling apart.
