• Battery choices - is calcium a worthwile buy ? 6 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  Came back from holiday (car not used, took taxi to airport), drove to Waitrose (about 2 miles), stalled once along the way (got used to driving an automatic), left the wife and kids in the car with the cd player on, and when I came back (no more than 15 minutes), battery was dead, and had to be jump started. I reckon that batteries that have gone flat are best off just being replaced, any thoughts?

  My daughter has recently acquired a diesel automatic to transport her large brood and, whilst it is running very well, she has experienced one or two problems on which she and I would appreciate any available advice. Central locking appears to operate on the two front doors and the tailgate, but not on the nearside sliding door.

• Renault Scenic (2003 - 2009) - Coolant life 21 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  I have just disposed of my 10-year old 2 litre Renault Mégane RXE automatic (and for the francophobes, it has covered over 90,000 miles and, apart from the usual service consumables it has needed one wheel bearing and one ignition coil in that time. Last month it went the length of the Alps to Provence and back on half a litre of oil and still had the original exhaust system and rear brake linings).
• Renault Laguna II (2001 - 2007) - 06 - electrical issues 25 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  I have recently bought a used 2006 Renault Laguna Initiale and I have found a couple of minor (yet niggly) problems. The automatic headlight adjusters don't seem to work, they are set in the lowest height ( leaving little visibility in pitch dark). The rain sensitive wipers don't work, they are stuck on one speed. The fan on the climate control blow like a mouse flatulating (only now an issue when i want the car to heat up quickly).

• Honda Civic Hybrid UK (2006 - ) - rear washer and other oddities 3 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  In fact, apart from the engine cutting out when stationary in traffic, as a passenger, I wasn't aware of being in anything other than an ordinary automatic. Was this just a sign of the battery charge being low or is the change of power source not especially obvious?
• Small Car, must have armrest (really...) 15 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  Without it I get a really bad shoulder 2. Diesel also a must. Haven't got the ability to drive a petrol without revving it to death 3. Automatic is a 'would be nice' 4. Seats must be okay for a 6' person - I find the Micra seats too small to support my shoulders I know this is a long list for what most people would define as a shopping trolley, but I'm hoping someone can throw some decent cars into the equation......

• Renault Clio 1.4 RT starting problem 3 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  I have a Renault Clio 1.4 RT on an 'N' plate. The car has single point injection and is an automatic. I came to start it yesterday and it did not fire up, although the engine did turn. Usually when you turn the ignition on you get a relay click under the bonnet, the fuel pump buzzes and the fast idol speed udjusts itself on the throttle body.
