Ten years ago I had this beauty. I saw it for sale on Gumtree for about £300 with tax and test. The easiest collection caper ever as the bloke selling it lived six doors away on my road! I owned this at the same time as the Kawasaki G*****S that I've moaned about at length on here before. The Renner was one of those cars that would start first time 9 out of 10 times but the other time it'd need a bump start. I bridged it after it pissed me off.

Crank sensor. Very common fault on Renaults of that era. My Clio developed exactly the same symptoms until I had it replaced.
Don't see many Scenics any more. A MILF customer of mine about 10 years ago drove a tidy one. She had a lovely arse, and the car wasn't bad either.

I've only been driving 15 years but back then I was driving an Austin A35 (which I still have).
Ten years ago, Austin 1100.
Five years ago, Renault Clio Mk1.
Should have kept all of them. The Clio was scruffy but a great car. Sadly roffled on the beige and went to everyone's favourite Doctor, who part-exchanged it for a Rover 400 estate. The dealer traded it on and it was last heard of in Stoke on Trent when Staffs Police seized it under S165 and the paperwork went to the Doc (as he hadn't changed the V5). It wasn't claimed and was crushed. Poor thing.

5 years - 2003 Jag XJ6 X350 - the 3 litre one with LPG and 270K, Land Rover Disco 3, AMC Rebels, !956 Chevy 210
10 years - 2000 Mondeo Verona 1.8 bought off Sierraman off the Beige and sold to Bub, The Crying Pumkin - pumpkin coloured Classic Range Rover auto Vogue SE converted to 200TDI bought of Garybaldy on the Beige, later sold for spares after spectacular MOT failure on rust, Land Rover Disco 3, AMC Rebels, !956 Chevy 210.
20 years - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherry (replaced by) - 2003 Subaru Impreza 2.0 GL (non turbo), Chevy 210

You had the Mondeo for a couple of years or so then? I used it as a company car for a fair while until the fuel economy got the better of me. Sold to johnk if I remember. I think it managed mid 20s around the doors and I once had up to the heady heights of 33npg on a run to Skegness.

5 years ago I 'think' I had the CLK320 convertible, though It may well be this SLk as they did overlap a tad.

10 years ago I had (as of this date) an R230 500 SL on a private plate (though it was a 10 plate) and in a few day's time it will be an X reg Renault Scenic txe 'Top soec whatever that is) that I bought from a mate for £500 with a full history and full MOT. It was a bloody good car and got me out of a huge divorce-shaped hole... not that I actually got divorced...

15 years ago was possibly the same Merc as above or it could have been an R129 500 SL which was by far a better car!

20 years ago I had a company Vauxhall Omega on a 03, one of the very last, it was a great car an d I DID choose that car in preference to a Ford or Volvo!

We had a 51 plate Renault scenic so same shape as yours. Ours was fully loaded too and think it was a Monaco privilege or so the badge in glove box said. Had twin leccy roofs,cd changer,leather seats and a few other bits and bobs too. Was a comfy car and alot better than the MK2 that replaced it.

20 years ago? I was a couple of months off 40 and was a total twat, I behaved like a spoiled teenager. My main car was a Fiat Ulysses , the second I’d had. A black 2.0 JTD EL on a Yplate, it was great, probably the best of all the MPVs I’d had. Mrs N had a Volvo 850 saloon 2.0 manual probably a GL as it didn’t have alloys. I bought some T5 rims off some scallys only to discover, on removing the trims, it was 4 stud ! We also had a very early 3.5 V8 2 door Discovery that had every option on it, it wasn’t a G-WAC but it was registered before the launch in 89. I had a bloke that supplied me with half price fuel, so the Disco got used more than the Volvo. We had a caravan that I usually towed with the Fiat, but when we did use the Disco , towing almost doubled the mpg because of driving more carefully.
In July 2003 I got a load of shit from some Spanish Coppers for changing the brake pads ( lozenges frenos, as I learned) in a carpark on a beach in Marbella. In the end the helped me as I was struggling with only a pair of mole grips and a screwdriver, lent me a 13mm out of their Nissan Patrol tool kit. Did 90 miles in an hour 6 up with luggage in 40degrees at one point on the way home, never missed a beat.
