Reviewing a 1999 Renault Mégane Classic 1.6e RN Liberté! 

I had a 1997 Megane RXE 1.6 in white, one of my favourite cars

Excellent work, Mr Bill! Very thorough and strong presentation. Look forward to more reviews soon!

Great content and great flow in your Review. It wasn't biased at all. Your Dad and Yourself should be congratulated for caring for this Lovely Megane Classic from new. One asset that late 90s cars had that earlier ones did not was very good resistance to rust. Even 1993 Cavalier hatchbacks started to rust in the rear arches at 4 or 5 years old. Top marks to your Dad for the colour choice and RN spec because the skinnier tyres with the higher profile gave the best ride in the range. I Wish I still had the Citroën Xsara VT Turbo D that I bought in 1999. Sadly, like the Peugeot 406, the air intake was behind the front bumper and spelt the end of many of these cars in flood water. Mine after 10 years and 130,000 miles, luckily it was still worth £2000 against a new Kia Picanto under the 2009 Scrappage Scheme. It really didn't have a spot of rust anywhere. Absolutely love this Megane Classic. I am keeping an eye for a late Mk1 Megane Scenic thanks to your videos.

Excellent video sir. Very detailed and I think you certainly covered everything. I know what you mean about the taillamps. I’ve followed quite a few Meganes with a total disco going on at the back lol

Fantastic review. As you know I'm always happy to see some Mégane content, especially novel in English as many of the videos on the MK1 are from other countries. I know RN spec hatchback models didn't get colour coded bumpers so not sure if yours has them because it's a classic or because it's a Liberte special edition. I wonder if the rear lamp issues mentioned are down to the wiring getting worn where the tailgate opens. That's a common issue for lots of cars. Coil packs in phase 2 when they went to coil on plug were often problematic and had one for each cylinder, when one failed another would usually be close behind. The seats are fantastically comfortable in old Renault's. Even the sports front and bucketed tears in my coupe are way more comfortable than they look, of course space in the back and front headroom is far less generous than in your classic. having AC is a real bonus. Initially on early phase 1 cars it was optional only on higher spec cars. Phase 2 cars for it as standard on many models along with lots of other standard kit over the phase 1. Tinted rear lights was a common style for Renault in the 90s from the MK1 Clio to Laguna and Mégane X64 was the general code name though I believe the X was later swapped out for other letters depending on body style.

no central locking, no rear head rests, no rev counter, no elec windows (f+r), no obd port. Just A/C and a cornish flag YAY!................Love it!!

I disagree with your comment about the original radio. Maybe the RN had a crappie radio than the RT but my parents had a Renault Mègane Classic RT in blue brand new in 1997 and there was not a thing wrong with the radio in that. We also had a rev counter, remote central locking, twin airbags, front electric windows, rear headrests and electric mirrors as standard. No air con or abs do. Nice steering wheel in this one do. In the parents the horn was two buttons on the steering wheel. Never made sense that and drove my Mum nuts.

Nice video!

great work Master J, still needs to be set alight!

My father had a dark blue 98 megane, 1.4 e . Had it for 20 years never broke down . It would still be driven today if a drubk guy hadnt ruined it.

Interesting video mate 👍
