Thanks to its bright new image for classy and practical vehicles, Renault has sold many cars in the UK in the past few years. It seems Renaults are everywhere and two of their most popular models are the sporty Mégane and the family orientated Scénic. Heavily discounted prices from new mean that Renaults are often a bargain on the second-hand forecourt too.
As is so often the case, the cost of servicing and repairs takes the shine off the Renault badge. Visit a Renault dealer for replacement brake discs and pads and the bill could be as much as £200. Yet the actual parts purchased from a reputable motor accessory retailer will probably cost less than £60.
So if you do the job yourself, there's a saving of £140 to be made. Well, not quite. You will need to spend £17.99 purchasing a Haynes manual. These legendary manuals are, according to Auto Express, ".the paper equivalent of talking to a mate who's happy to help. a great way for owners to save cash by tackling jobs themselves."
It's no surprise that more than 150 million Haynes manuals have been sold around the world.
Haynes manuals contain sections on maintenance - simple weekly checks to keep you on the road; servicing - complete, fully illustrated step-by-step guides; fault finding - information helping you to pinpoint specific problems easily; brakes - safety checks and repairs for the home mechanic, plus Haynes Tips - valuable short cuts to make many tasks easier.
Written from hands-on experience gained from the strip-down and rebuild of various versions of the Renault Scénic and Mégane in the Haynes project workshop, these new manuals can help you understand, care for and repair your Renault. Haynes staff do it themselves to help you do-it-yourself and, whatever your mechanical ability, the practical step-by-step explanations, linked to more than 900 photos, will help you get the job done right. Regular servicing and maintenance of your Renault can maintain its resale value, save you money, and make it safer to drive.
The new Haynes Renault Scénic manual covers Scénic and Grand Scénic models from September 2003 to 2006 (53 to 06 registration), including limited editions, with 1.4-litre or 1.6-litre petrol engines or 1.5-litre or 1.9-litre DCI turbo diesel engines.
The new Haynes Renault Mégane manual covers hatchback, saloon and estate (tourer) models, including special/limited editions, from October 2002 to 2005 (52 to 55 registration) with similar engines to the Scénic.
