My 08 Megane is gone rusty underneath. Do you think Renault will give me some compensation to put it right? Read more

assuming I want to buy new, and that I don't want to hang on to a car for more than five or six years, is there an optimum frequency in the long term at which I should think about changing the car? Read more

as my megane is only two yrears old with rust forming underneath, i think it;'s time to change it now

Good to be back, even though my post from last week vanished! My central locking triggers itself (I know, a common Mondeo quirk, especially when cold) - doors will lock themselves at will when driving along, very annoying, where should I be looking for water ingress / electrical foibles? Read more

Someone might have set it to autolock above 7mph? I did that to the Mondeo I had but turned it off before it went back to the lease company.

The car starts ok but then stalls. If I keep my foot on the gas it will idle and once warm its ok it will idle ok and it remains fine all day unless I leave five or six hours

any Ideas?... Read more

Try pumping the primer until hard before starting, if it then starts OK you have an air leak.

Pass the letter to the insurer - they process it / pay out - that is why the driver / car has to be insured.

Hi. I have read the msg on the Bora.  I have a Golf TDI with a limp mode problem. I have changed the mass airflow meter my car does not over boost it has a in-car boost gauge and holds fine it has a new turbo on a year ago.

There is no leaks on the pipes they are on the correct way the only thing on my mates PC it shows the temp reading at 53 deg when in car reads 90 deg and when you rev the car it goes down a little on the pc so i no the temp sensor is faulty is this enough to cause limp home mode?... Read more

Double check with Motability when they will stop taking your Motability allowance and when you have to give the car back... when you have that date as a definite then go and see the dealer you intend to buy from and tell them you would like your car to be delivered on that date...

Then keep your fingers, toes, etc. crossed that they will do that and not renage on you!...
