Hello all.


Just been and bought a x reg scenic 1.6 rxe.

93k miles FSH

one owner

£2200 plus the wifes battered 12 yr old micra with 110k on the clock.:d

I could not see much wrong with the car and the garage is doing a cam belt, full mot and six months tax.

However i have read some stories on here of head gasket failure that have got me worried. I did check the oil filler cap for any signs of emulsified oil but could not see any and i also had the top off the coolant expanion bottle to smell for any oil etc but i think it was ok. Took the car for a test drive and the coolant level had gone from min to just under max, no signs of any being spat out from what i could see.

Hopefully i have made a good purchase.


Picking it up at the weekend.

Thank you all for the welcome

The Renault will be mainly used for the wife and kids to ferry themselves around in

Thus keeping them out of my beloved Skoda Octavia:d

Headgasket failure is not generally a problem on your engine,so I wouldn't be overly concerned.

Welcome to the forum.
