A local Renault garage burned down last week, £1.5 million in repairs.

I don't think the cause of the fire is known yet, early hours of the morning so it might well be vandals.

Well, I did put my original topic tital relating to the 1.9DCi, which likes to get a bit firey now and then, but didn't want to make too much light of it :roll:

Drove past there last couple of days. What a mess, funny though.
One side of the building has collapsed, falling on about 5 cars that would otherwise have escaped the fire.
Happy(ish) C8 owner.

Oh you CitroGeeks will take any opportunity to criticise a Renault!

I have to say, the XMs I've been in are FAR worse electrically than any Renault I've ever owned :twisted:
