That would have us related to ford in a round about way!

OMG, that's all we need, bits of Renault on our Vx's

I imagine it wouldn't make a lot of difference to Vauxhall, except in the commercial vehicle sector.... at the moment Renault, Nissan and Vauxhall all share the Vivaro and Movano.

Renault use Volvo engines and gearboxes. Daf use renault cabs, GM own Saab who own Scania, Scania share ideas with MAN, MAN develop stuff with Merc...

God this is getting complicated. Vauxhall Globetrotter anyone?

When I was working at Nissan on the micra c+c line most of the parts used were engraved with Renault and were from the Clio

Whats wrong with that ? the current diesels have a Fiat lump .

I work on fleet cars every day and the BIGGEST problems we get are from French cars, especially Renault. It was more a tongue in cheek comment, not meant to offend anyone. Laugh it off.

I hope not, last Vx I'm buying, bad enuff with the Fiat thing, but Renault!!!, thats **** without style, at least Fiat attempt something out of the ordinary, VW/AUDrey beckons.
