Hi from Russia

Post by 406Morane »

Hello everyone!

I'm Paul, from Glasgow, but I live in Russia because of professional reasons. I've recently had the chance to buy a second hand Renault Duster SUV for a relatively low price thanks to a colleague, but it's a model and a brand I'm absolutely not familiar with.
That's why I decided to join your community; so far, I haven't run into any issue, but I'd like to know more about how to take care of my new care, and about the ways I can prevent future problems from happening.

I hope I will rarely need to post on this forum, and that I'll get used to my new car so that I'll be able to help other owners!

Thanks! By the way, I've already read a couple threads, that forum is a gold mine!

Welcome and feel free to contribute to anything on here. This forum is one of the very few that is remarkably tolerant of going off topic!

If, as I originally assumed, this is a Dacia, rebadged for the Russian market, not sure how French it is &, therfore, how much help we can be - but then you say the forum's already proved useful, so that's all good!

It then occurred to me this might actually be a Renault SUV (the model names of which I am not at all familiar) rebadged as - the possibly more familiar - Duster. So, now I'm curious, which is it?
Citroens:-
'81 2CV Club :cry:

others:-
Jeep XJ Cherokees x 3 :?

'99 Cadillac STS :|
& the numerous "abandoned projects" #-o
