RENAULT 21 (1986-1995)雷诺21(1986-1995)
Way back before Nicole appeared on our TV screens, Renault were making family-sized cars that had an endearing amount of French character inside them, but not quite state-of-the-art technology powering them.尼科尔早在电视屏幕上出现,雷诺正在家庭型轿车,有逗趣的法国性格金额内,但不太美国最先进的科技力. The 21 range carried over the engines of its predecessor, the 20, and added other drivetrains from elsewhere in the Renault empire.21射程结转引擎94220、加上其他驱动和地方在雷诺帝国. It was on the market nine years and was replaced by the now very successful Laguna.这是9年来,在市场是非常成功的,现在改为由丽. People tend to dismiss the 21 as yesterday's technology with driving dynamics to match, but they're mostly wrong.人们往往辞退21昨日动力匹配技术,但他们大多是错误的. In their day, these cars gave the market-leader Sierra a run for its money on the road and boasted huge amounts of interior room into the bargain.在一天这些车给市场一个塞拉领钱出来的道路,并吹嘘其巨额室内空间的呢. The seven-seater option on the Savanna estate also gave the 21 salesmen something no Sierra (or Cavalier) could match and these models are sought-after even today by buyers who prefer them to MPVs.七人座的选择,也给草原地产有21个推销员没有塞拉(或骑士)、可配合这些模型寻求买主后的今天,即使是那些喜欢他们mpvs.
HISTORY历史
The 21 landed here in June 1986 as a four-door saloon with 1.7 and 2.0-litre engines.1986年6月21降落在这里作为四门球馆与1.7和2.0公升引擎. The Savanna followed in October, along with the diesels.随后在十月的草原,随着柴油. By 1988, there was also a fast but thirsty turbo version.1988年,也有速度快,而且口渴涡轮版. These cars lasted until Autumn 1989 and their updated replacements were far more convincing machines.直到1989年秋天,这些车的更新更换机器远远更具说服力. The second-generation cars were noticeably more refined, better built and the styling, though somewhat less distinctive, was generally neater.第二代车明显更精致、更好的建成和造型,虽然有点不鲜明,普遍简洁.
When Renault gives a model its first facelift, they tend to rename the outgoing original version 'Phase I', and so it was with the 21.当雷诺给模范首改版,往往改名离任原文'期'故以21. The models launched in September 1989 were the 'Phase II' cars and the 'Phase III' was the last version, released in May 1992.1989年9月推出的型号分别'二期'车'三期'最后版本1992年5月获释. Phases II and III are the models to go for, unless price is all.第二期及第三期的模型去,除非价格.
The Phase II cars also brought with them a new five-door body (not offered in petrol turbo form) to finally replace the old Renault 20.二期车还带来了一个新的五门机构(不提供汽油涡轮形式)终于取代旧雷诺20. It was a success and there are quite a few of these cars around in a variety of trim levels.它的成功,并有不少这车大约在多种层次修剪. There was even a four-wheel drive TXi Quadra hatchback in the range but it only lasted from October 1990 to May ?91.更有人四轮驱动聚quadrahatchback但仅持续了射程从1990年10月至五月?91.
The Phase III was not as dramatic an update as the earlier one but trim levels changed, equipment increased for most models and the appearance of all models benefited from detail improvements.第三阶段并不如戏剧性最新一但正如早先浪级变化,增加设备大部分型号所有型号的外观得益于细节改进.
The Laguna was released less than two years later in April 1994 and the 21 was quietly retired though the Savanna lived on in Phase IV form with minor changes until it too was replaced in 1995 by a car known simply as the Laguna Estate.丽被释放后不到两年的1994年4月和21月悄然退役虽然住在草原第四期形式过于轻微变化,直到1995年被汽车所取代已知简单丽屋.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
A family car that has somewhat unusual looks and lots of room.家庭轿车,以及大量的空间显得有点不寻常. Many of the top-spec cars are now cheap second-hand so the 21 is also a bit of a bargain.许多高层光谱现车便宜二手等21个也是有点好处.
Bear in mind that the company was developing the Laguna during the last years of 21 production and you'll understand why build and trim quality, as well as reliability, improved markedly towards the end of the 21's career.记丽公司开发21年过去,你就会明白为什么生产建设和修剪质量以及可靠性明显提高21年底的生涯. If your budget can be stretched, go for the latest car that catches your eye.如果你的预算可以伸展,追求最新车抓到你注意. Chances are, it'll be by far the best.机会是,它会被民众至今最佳.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Early Renault 21 models are cheap as chips but a good one should provide decent family transport.1921年年初雷诺型号的廉价筹码,但由于要提供一个良好的交通体面家族. Even looking at the very last of the line models on the 93K plate you?ll still only pay from £600.最后连看的93k线路板的型号吗?当地还只有600英镑,从工资. The estates carried on till 1995 and the final ones will be around the £1,000 mark, or £1,100 for a diesel.屋内进行到1995年前后将是最终的1000英镑大关,或柴油为1100英镑. Pay a premium of only £75 or so for Savanna trim.缴交保费只有75英镑左右,为稀树草原修剪.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Cooling problems seem to be the main cause for concern.冷却的主要问题似乎是值得关注. Many of the older cars had a problematic cooling fan in which the motor burnt out.许多旧有问题的汽车冷却风扇电机烧毁其中. Overheating usually results.过热往往效果. There was a modification in 1989 and it may be worth checking if you're after an older model.有人在1989年修改可能值得检查后如果你的老模式.
Engines are all well known and give no major problems.众所周知,引擎都没有重大问题. Change the timing belt on 2.0-litre cars every 30,000 miles to prevent an expensive repair as the result of a broken belt.改变时间带2.0公升每000英里汽车修理作为一项昂贵防止因破碎带.
Interiors are way behind Renaults of today.内部有较大的差距renaults今天. They were well put-together, but the fit and quality of the switches and buttons is inferior to that of the Laguna.他们穿在一起,但合适的开关和按钮质量低劣到丽. Check that everything has a switch and that it works.核对,凡事都有一个开关,它的工程. Check all those electric gadgets too, as replacing things like power window motors is a fiddly business.检查所有电动太小玩意,如更换发动机功率是fiddly营业窗口. If you're after a TXE trim level car, make sure all those fancy electronic displays on the dashboard are alive and well.如果你在模块浪级车让所有喜欢电子显示的仪表和充满朝气. If not, a replacement dash won't be cheap.如果没有,将不会取代冲刺便宜.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(Based on a 1990 1.7 GTS saloon exclusive of VAT) A clutch comes in just under £95 and a full exhaust system is about £165, while brake pads are less than £25.(基于1990年7月1日增值税专用电信球馆)离合器进来略低于英镑95和排气系统全部165英镑左右,而刹车皮小于英镑25. A new alternator will be around the £110 mark, and a starter motor is about £95.新发电机将围绕英镑110马克、英镑起动电机大约95. Headlights are £80 each and a radiator about £115.头灯是八十元、英镑115英镑左右的散热器.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
The 21 was a competent handler as both a saloon and an estate.21无论是作为一名合格面团球馆及地产. Body roll, once an endearing trait of all French cars, is in evidence but not to excess.团体名册,一旦所有的法国车逗趣特质,是证据,而不是过多. The 1.7-litre cars are slow.1.7公升汽车缓慢. Conversely, the turbo is a bit too rapid for the chassis' level of roadholding, especially if the roads are wet (it has a lot of power and no traction control).反之,则未免快速涡轮的底盘『roadholding水平,尤其是如果路况天雨(他们有很多权力没有牵引控制). As an Eighties front-wheel drive family car, the 21 was a good bet.作为八十年前轮驱动车家族,21岁,是一个好的赌注. Its rival, the Peugeot 405, had the measure of it in many ways but both stood head and shoulders above a lot of the older Japanese models of the day, though not in build quality.它的对手,标致405、曾措施,但它在许多方面都高人一等,站在很多老型号的100天虽无建质量.
OVERALL 总体
As a budget family car, the 21 has a lot to offer.作为家庭轿车预算,21个具有相当大吸引力. If you find one in good condition with service history, look after it and chances are, you'll get quite a few more years of reliable service out of it.如果你找到一个良好的服务,与历史、照顾和机会,读书不少多年可靠服务了.
