Renault 21 Savannah

Have you checked the gearbox oil level?? the person who did the clutch may not have topped the box up again after removing the drive shafts to get the box out.. may have used the shove a piece of broom handle wrapped in paper towels in the diff method of stopping all the oil from pouring over the floor,

And forgotten to re-fill the box when it was re-fitted a few hours later on, and they'd forgotten about the oil loss.

Thank you for the advice. I will get a friend to check it for me. The gearbox does sounds rather dry and crunchy, more so when the engine is cold when we first get in it in the morning. Now it is doing it in forth gear too. Will let you know how I get on. Thanks joy

Too late now though :O(

Do you think this has caused damage to the gearbox?

The message from "Joy" contains these words:

Out of interest - why the "h" on the end? I was looking to buy one of these a while ago and missed several on eBay before I noticed many users mispell it with an "h" on the end.

Guy King ( snipped-for-privacy@zetnet.co.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

Search on eBay for "citreon"

If it is short of oil then yes- most definately. Time to be grabbing the clutch-change outfits short and curlies..

Tim..

I like my Xantia but I do wonder why they kept the manufacturer's name to almost the same as a French Lemon. (and the number of people who spell it 'Zantia'??) DaveK.

davek ( snipped-for-privacy@brentmere53.fsnet.co.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

Andre Citroen's grandfather was a wholesaler of citrus fruit. Jews used to use patronyms, but were forced to take a surname - he took "Limoenman", which later changed to "Citroen".

It's only in the last decade or two that the American term "Lemon" has crossed the Atlantic - why spend the millions to rebrand an entire manufacturer with an 80 year history just because of a slight etymological coincidence in one market?

Besides - there's plenty of other far more avoidable cockups on the car naming front. Not least - The MR2 is the MR in France for the exact same reason that DTR Citroens were TRD in all non-anglophone markets.

Not to forget the subject of this thread - the Renault 21 Nevada for all non-anglophone markets. However, the US State of Nevada had trademarked the name in all anglophone countries... Ooops.

The message from Adrian contains these words:

And Meastro.

The message from "davek" contains these words:

Like the Renault Traffic - which is actually a Trafic, though more often than hot it's spelt wrong.

There's a couple of Alpha Romeos on there at the mo too.

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Guy King saying something like:

Why, it's a Geeeorgia name.

----------- I'd think the second one was what Renault were aiming at and what most people think of when they're spelling it.
