Register Submissions / Suggestions

Koleos, righto!

Sorry I missed your post.. been very busy getting my 5 road ready.

Hi I would like to start a Latitude section so i can keep in touch directly with other owners and post tips and reports of this car as they come to hand and will assist potential owners with making an informed choice as i done a lot of homework and research into this vehicle before placing my order for one. it will arrive about June this year as i wanted white with beige interior. its the first one ordered in this spec.
 
Hi is it possible to have a latitude register I know the numbers are small but they are in the hundreds. Thanks.
 
Hi Guys, putting it out there.. let us know what you think.

David,

Since my suggestion and your implementation of the Koleos - hints, tips & problems thread, it has been viewed over 17,000 times. It has also spawned into an 11 page thread.

So obviously a resource that is being used.

It is becoming unwieldy, to get any meaningful info you either have to trawl through the 11+ pages or do a search.

May I suggest that you modify it again with the following subheadings:

Koleos
Koleos register​
Koleos hints tips etc​
Body
a) Interior
b) Exterior
Engine mechanical​
a) Petrol engine
b) Diesel engine
Transmission, Suspension, Brakes & Wheels

What are your thoughts?

Regards,

David
 
Laguna III thread

These rarest of modern Australian Renaults weren't on sale for very long, replacing the perpetually unreliable Laguna II, and ultimately being displaced by the Korean Latitude over here.

Renault spent a fortune developing the Goon III, concentrating on removing the many bugs inherent in the II. The result was a solid car that sadly didn't sell all that well...anywhere.

There have been no major recalls regarding the IIIs. There have been some issues however:

Stereo: The Bose Cabasse stereo sounds good and is good standard equipment. However, it does not support Bluetooth, does not have a female 3.5 socket, and does not have USB connectivity. Regardless of what you may have read, do not buy a wire from EBay that promises to provide such connectivity. It won't fit the Australian pauper Bose models. Further, I have found it impossible to even exchange the Bose head unit for something else. Cost me $130 to find that out too. Yes there are English and German models on eBay (some even with built in GPS), but best of luck. Stick with your CDs and radio.

Driver's Door Lock: It will fail. The door actuator will start working intermittently, and it may need four or five cycles of locking and unlocking the doors before the driver's door gets with the program. Some days you will unlock the driver's door from the back seat! Forums overseas suggest drowning the actuator in WD40 but ultimately you will have to bite the bullet and buy a new door lock. Renault Australia will only charge you $550 to replace their faulty lock. Oh, that's without fitting costs. If you wish to source one from overseas, make sure you buy the correct one. Left hand drive models are different.

Performance: The Renault 2.0 dCi engine is strong with adequate torque, however responds well to fettling. Gains of 20% extra torque are easily accessed, and transform the car.

Engine mounts: Like all powerful modern Renaults, top engine mounts commonly fail. Fortunately they are easily replaced.
 
Hello Vivid,

I can't see a Lag II section, is there a trick in finding this?

Also, could we add a R12 section and can we move the 'For the Renault R12 fans' thread to the R12 section when it's opened.

Cheers
RTT

Hi Ren Tin Tin.
There is no Lag II section.
These are all added based on requests.. Would you like me to add a register and/or Hints & Tips??

Also, could we add a R12 section and can we move the 'For the Renault R12 fans' thread to the R12 section when it's opened.

I'm not sure the '12 Lovers' thread should be put in there, but a post with a link to it, or various threads might be a better way to go. I can only see 1 or 2 posts that'd belong in a register.
 
Hi David, pls consider in Koleos sub forum (in common parts with Nissan)- " some common parts may also be co-labled e.g. 2015 diesel battery - handy to know if in non dealer sales area" Koleos battery.jpg
