I am glad your Laguna continues to serve you well. From my lengthy research it appeared that any MK3 Renault is OK, Scenic MK3, Megane MK3, Laguna MK3 good, MK2s a bit of a mixed bag.
My Renault is out of warranty now, I decided to self-insure rather than take out a warranty with an independent company, thanks to the advice people gave on this forum a while back.
My car-mad best mate reccomends I get an oil change done in between the scheduled services at the dealer and that is what I've just had done. Well he did it anyway. He said if I got the oil and filter from the dealer he would do it. It's a bit of a fiddle to get underneath but he has these amazing ramp things I've never seen before. They are flat, you drive the car on to them and then crank them up with a socket.
I don't know whether it's my imagination but the engine seems a bit smoother and quieter with new oil, even though it was well within the scheduled mileage.
