• Megane II Estate 24 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  One for Renault fans I've just seen on the Renault.com site that there is a Megane estate (sport tourer). For some reason I can't get onto the uk side of the Renault site to look at prices, trim levels etc, all I can see is pictures on the .com site.

• renault laguna - dephaser problems,,read the book! 9 Jun 2017 (Forum)
  i bought a 2004 renault laguna diamonique it was 2 months old so basically it was a new car and i have still got it ,, it has done 46000 miles and of course had tyres and services,, at 30 000 miles it had a set of track rod ends , done by a mechanic,, i replaced the track rod ends again a couple of months ago ,, now the engine was terribly noisy after some investigation the dephaser pulley was at fault,, i rang around various garages and no one wanted to touch it ,,,,i decided to do it my self ,, after buying the special tools required to do the job i had it done in around 4 hrs ,, the pulley wheel itself was £145 and various tools required like the setting pin and camshaft holding tool was around £50 ,,, if you are going to attempt this job yourself make sure you read the haynes manual although its fairly straight forward , i didnt see the item where the crankshaft bolt must not exceed 49.1 mm as the origonal bolt was nearly 55mm in length the laguna was sweet as a nut for around a week ,, you can guess wat is coming,, it stopped and wudnt start i got it towed home and discovererd the bolt on the crankshaft had come loose there is no woodruff key holding the crankshaft sprocket in place now this bolt came loose because it was too long ,,, and the crank slipped bending all 16 valves which cost me alot of money to repair the laguna lives again but this is just a small warning to anyone wanting to attempt such a repair themselves,,,whether renault has designed the v,v t engine to slip the crank on purpose forcing you to take it to a renault dealer to repair costing £86 per hour (which i didnt) who knows ,, but to me it seems ridiculous that a simple bolt can cause massive engine damage ,,,,,i do love my laguna and like i said early it was near new when i purchased it and now it is running smooth again i intend to keep it for a lot longer

• renault clio 1149 1.2 turbo dynamique tom - excessive steering wheel and column vibration 13 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  This is a bit similar to a person being admitted to hospital with chest pain and having their heart checked out and told it is normal and then being told to go away but still with their chest pains ie the diagnosis of their problem not having been reached and the poor Patient still having the worry of their pains..... So we were not happy and renault UK got us to take it to renault Bridgend for a second opinion. On test drive the guys agreed immediately that things were 'not right'.  They quickly found that  the cause of the steering wheel and column vibration to be coming from a steering bracket welding issue.

• Renault Captur PHEV - Test Drive 20 Oct 2022 (Forum)
  Following my go in a Leon the other day, I have now tried two more PHEVs.  The first 9f these was a Renault Captur.   Initial impression is that the PHEV set up is MUCH better.  The switch between the two motors is pretty much seamless and I didn't have the same kickdown issue as in the Leon.

• Renault Clio Sport - How long should a gearbox last 31 May 2013 (Forum)
  The gearbox struggles to go into 4th gear and the garage inform me that I need a new gearbox as the synchro is broken. I expected the gearbox to last longer than this and have told that to Renault UK. They have told me that as a goodwill gesture they will pay £486 inc VAT to have the gearbox removed and inspected but as it is defective they will be unable to refit it. If as I expect there is a defect with the gearbox then as another goodwill gesture they will pay 50% of the £2806 cost of replacing the gearbox with a reconditioned one.
• Vauxhall Zafira/ Citroen Picasso/ Renault G Scenic - Need advice on a reliable second hand 7 seater 4 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  After doing some research, I thought maybe a Vauxhall Zafira would be suitable? I'm going to view one this afternoon, the garage also has a Renault Grand Scenic, with similar spec for same price? Which would most people recommend of the two? Any other advice is hugely appreciated! Thanks :)
• Renault Espace 2.2 dci 2001 - Espace 2.2 dci lack of power uphil 24 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  An excellent local independent diesel specialist could not find code but did otherwise confirm injector pressures etc were all OK. I have not taken car to local Renault dealer as I have no confidence they will find actual fault. Done 153,000 mls. Any ideas as to how I find fault? I did run very low on fuel once and hence changed filter in case debris sucked into lines but no difference.
• Renault Clio III - starting problems and strong petrol exhaust smell 15 Dec 2011 (Forum)
  Also the car doesnt run in neutral as smoothly as it did , the revs increasing and decreasing and with more vibrations than normal. . The car was serviced at renault 2 months ago (400 quid!!!!) but every time i take it there, it seems to experience more problems, You would not believe the number of problems we have had with this car in just 4 years! I dont know what the reno service is like in the UK but here in Mexico it is pretty awful!

• Renault Scenic 1.9 - electronic fault warning light 8 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  I have a 2002 Renault Scenic 1.9 DCI with 70k The electronic fault warning light (also heater plug on light) intermitently comes on with no apparent problem. It always seems to come on when driving up an incline then goes off after the top is reached or it comes on when you throttle then goes off when you release the throttle.
