Haha, when I saw the topic I thought it was started by @Solitude!!
I drive a Renault - but it’s actually a Dacia that is manufactured by Mahindra and then sold here under the Renault badge. It’s also essentially a sedan version of the Sandero - the Renault Logan.
Literally a Sandero Sedan You Sandero guys have a bakkie as well. The NP200 Lucky buggers
Nice!! Working on a Renault really is a pain. The easiest and most comfortable way to change a headlight bulb on my Clio, is to remove the bumper and take the headlight out
I absolutely love the Duster. Would buy one in a heartbeat.
Are your parents members of the Duster Owners group on Facebook? I stalk that group on a daily basis
Yep! It helps with getting parts. I can change my brake pads for under R450 and it’s really easy once you know how.
I drove a colleagues Renault Megane once. Man that car was dangerous you could break the speed limit so easily.
Other than that I think they’re very uncomfortable to drive. Had a rental kwid in Durban man that thing struggled.
Flip that is cheap. My front discs and pads cost me around R1100 in total at my local Naskar Spares. Rear Pads around R500 and the rear discs is not so nice. R900 a side
The Kwid is a POS My dad also had a Kwid rental the other day. Damn. That is a death trap. I will easily go around a corner at 4 times the speed in my Clio than I would in the Kwid
That’s just for pads, but discs are fairly cheap too - it’s literally a solid round piece of metal.
You have drums at the back right?
Yep, haven’t had to change those out yet. Not looking forward to it though.
Changing drum discs does seem horrible
Or pads rather
I think that’s the one, but I could be wrong.
I love the retro design
Cool, which Megane was it?
It’s quite a hard drive with it being a sports car. Compared to my previous cars, you really feel the road beneath you. It’s a fun car though! You can accelerate so quickly and it can take corners so well. Would love to drive one on a track one day.
HAve you guys experienced a 275 Trophy?
Unfortunately not. I’m sad to say that I’ve never driven or been in an RS. I’ve got the GT.
