Laguna coupe, I've never seen one in Ireland but that, is a good looking car. Know nothing about it's engine, probably some new French one with an iffy chain tensioner :)

Well Jim, for you, I would recommend the 407 Coupe V6 HDi. But you will want spheres, so go for both a C5 and a C6...

Laguna coupe is a really good looking car, any here are 2.0 DCis which is disappointing.

Exactly Jaap. I wonder what the v6's are like though....being a Renault I expect they all have issues.

Simply stunning in white - 22k mi - what a find! Air in the tyres must be something close to original!

The poor XM has another bit of commuting ahead of it next week; so she has been treated to a good clean and polish today.

She has also been treated to a new fuel filter and housing. She has been a little bit hard to start, and the plastic drain screw at the bottom of the factory filter housing broke, so I bought an aftermarket filter canister with primer top from my local motor factors this morning for just over £20 including VAT.

Looking very smart Mr Smart. I really like the view of the back in white, all the different features seem to pop out and contrast really well.

I had that issue with the fuel filter, ....nice find. Proper purflux ones are quite dear.

Quite simply a LOVE AFFAIR ! No point in denying it...

Wasn't someone looking for something to put on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square?
