Its exactly a year old today bless it, and has covered 39963 miles with me this year.

 

So what delightful craft is my daily do I hear you cry?

 

Well here it is my oh so wonderful Renault Kangoo DCI 70

 

I have to say despite having covered 40k this year its been remarkably reliable... only needing a new slipring on the steering column for the airbag sensor and the pasanger duplicate on the drivers side window switch is a bit iffy. Not bad for a frenchy!

 

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet ride Chris :D

 

Happy Birthday Kangaroo :p

My VW Caddy pwns your french rubbish LOL!

lol i can imagine it does... Frenchy has an advantage of being fairly light though, certainly a reasonable turn of speed compared to the oter shite iv had in the past.

 

Another 6 months though and it'll be time for somthing new, no idea what yet.

Happy birthday Monsieur Renault;)

 

I'm pleased you posted this actually - I have recently been replacing my (company's) engineers' vans with Kangoos so I'm pleased to hear they don't fall apart after 1000 miles:D

 

But for really covering the miles, I recently sold the surveyor's Volvo S40 2.0TDi. It was barely 2 years old (we bought it new) and had done about 140k miles!!! Best of all, it was only on its 2nd set of tyres and brake pads:bow:

Mine is a venture actually, a special edition run out model with aircon (cheapest van with aircon at the time which is one of the main reasons for purchase!)

Also the pharmacies have a collection of kangoos and clio vans so boss was keen on renaults... want an astra van next time I think, or a car... but tax implications need working out.

 

This has had two front tyres so far for maintainence (at 38k) and 3 services at the renault dealer.

Front pads and discs are about goosed if im honest (stops like a duck on a frozen lake) so they need doing soon.

 

As for running mine does about 43mpg which is all "high speed" motorway work, quite often foot to the board "whatever it will do" for hours at a time.

By contrast if you can make your guys do 55-60mph everywhere they do like 60mpg lol, followed my dad when towing for 3 hours (never been as bord!) and it was somthing like 61.4mpg, rediculas!

Since i love my turbo alot on the van i dont no way get that many mpg, if i drive really steady i can get a good 50+ , but then you do want to get to the place before its dark dont you!
