Could anyone enlighten me as to whether any parts from a 2003 espace are compatible with the earlier jeok?

I have an espace the race and want to hoard parts for it because they are very rare here in new Zealand and a 2003 model has turned up at the breakers and the parts are cheap because of practically no demand for them here.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Cheers. :)

Hello, unfortunately only very few parts - if any - are compatible between the JK and JE models. The JK was built by Renault, whereas the JE was built by Matra. I think they only shared the 2.0 16V and 2.2 dci engines, although the heavier JK model was generally fitted with the 2.0 turbo and later the DCI became a 2.0. Gearboxes are different, AFAIK. The roof bars seem to be identical, though.

No unfortunately, the seats are not compatible :(

The popup trays and arm rests can be found on eBay, and I think I've even seen seat covers there. My trays are still working, though, but I replaced the gas springs on both some years ago.
