Jenny used to have one of these in a Diesel, it was a lovely car, plenty of poke (140bhp if I recall) had no problems at all with it.... oh I tell a lie, if you think we have problems changing bulbs you wanna try it on one of these, nightmare to do.

i had the 6 speed box laguna diesel, gearbox collapsed within a fortnight notoriously made of choclate, electrical gremlins a plenty but besides that a nice car.
Although if offered one again it would be a straight no!

had to change the dipped beam bulb on two occasions on the wifes car,only just possible.

The handbook states 'bulb renewal should be entrusted to your local dealer'

My gf has one and it's been pretty good, hardly anything has gone wrong in 25000 miles. Changed the dipped bulb a couple of weeks ago, once i realised you have to jack it up and take the tyre off it's easy. Reckon 15-20 mins next time.
