Is the auto gear box on the current Renault Espace {2003 on}, Renault or Nissan?.
We are looking for a 3 year old {2005 approx} , 3.5 pertol Renault Grand Espace.
The 3.5 pertol engine is a Nissan {as in the 350z}, but is the box Nissan too?
I've read many tales of Renault auto boxes going 'south' and indeed many a Renault 2.2 and 3.0 diesel's top end self distructing, plus turbo and fuel pump probs too.
At 3 years old it will be out of warrenty. I want a Grand Esapce that we give me the least trouble.
Fuel consumption, not too big an issue, as I'll only do 5 to 8k miles per year.
