  • Renault Clio 1 Petrol (1991 - 1998) - 1995 1.2 Replacing rear bumper 7 Jan 2009 (Forum)
    Can anybody tell me how easy (or how difficult) it would be to replace the rear bumper on my partners Mark I Renault Clio? Some kind soul crashed into the back of her and cracked it then drove off, no structural damage fortunately just the bumper itself. I've been offered a second hand bumper for next to nothing so I was wondering if it is a possible DIY effort or is it too much trouble even attempting this myself.
  • Renault Megane (1996 - 1998) - 1998 1.6 Cam Belt 13 Dec 2008 (Forum)
    I bought a 2nd hand Renault Megane 2 months ago and it had a service history that included a replacement cam belt in Oct 2007. The car has been making a squealing noise when I start it up in the morning and yesterday felt as though I was losing power which I thought was the cam belt.

  • Renault Clio 1 Diesel (1991 - 1998) - yr1997 - Radio Code 4 Nov 2007 (Forum)
    I see recoding companies advertising in the 'Useful Website' section of Honest John. Are these the best thing to do? What about replacing it with a Renault cd player off e-bay - has the radio to be fit/ compatible with my '97 model? I would like to retain the use of the stalk buttons and display.

    Hi, I have a Renault Megane (2004) 1.5 dci and I have had 4 lightbulbs go in the last month - 2 headlight bulbs, one sidelight bulb and one brake light. I have also had 5 different indicator bulbs since I bought the car in 2005.
  • Renault Fuego 4 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    I've have just had a ride in an immaculate 2.0 GTX (french registered) one and it brought back some fond memories. Extremely comfortable in a way only an old Renault can be and quite fast, if a bit noisy and unsophisticated. I liked the black metallic paint and half moon alloys. Not bad for 1980. Sadly I haven't seen one in th UK for years, cars generally of this era were not well protected against rust and the Fuego was as prone as any.
  • Roof bars for Renault Megane 21 Jan 2007 (Forum)
    I can only find bars that are suitable for cars without the panoramic sunroof. I could get some from the Renault garage but they are more expensive and these will only be used once. I can't see why the panoramic roof should make any difference - the fixing points are nowhere near the glass and the fixings look identical to a model with a completely steel roof.

  • Renault Scenic Trip Computer Question. 21 Oct 2005 (Forum)
    I have recently bought a new Renault Scenic Expression 1.9DCi. The car is a Left-Hand drive for the French market. My question is as about the trip computer language. Does anybody know if it is possible to change it from French to English?
  • Renault 1.5 dCi engine 11 Jun 2005 (Forum)
    Has anyone else got this engine, maybe in a Renault or Nissan Micra? When I bought mine I was averaging 49mpg, it was quite an event getting it to 50mpg. Now after almost 12000 miles and an oil change, it is averaging 56mpg. I have done the brim to brim checks and it equates accurately with the digital display.
  • Renault Megane engine query 4 Feb 2005 (Forum)
    We have a new shape Megane dci 1.5 100 bhp. This is our fourth Renault and first diesel and so far we are very pleased with it. At the weekend I was busy washing it and noticed on the door pillar a sticker detailing what options are fitted, for example the Comfort Pack.
  • Independent in Worcester for Renault RX4 17 Dec 2004 (Forum)
    Now her negotiating skills are not too hot with dealers and as she bought the car from a famous supermarket, Renault UK aren't too interested in helping. Any advice or independants local to Worcester I can suggest to her?
  • Which MPV? 30 Jun 2004 (Forum)
    Three kids have forced MPV time, as we need seven seats. I've narrowed it down to either a new Citroen C8 HDi Exclusive Diesel Auto or a nearly new Renault Grand Espace 2.2 Privilege Auto with a budget of around £22. We intend to keep the car for a long time. The C8 seems to lack the interior quality of the Renault, and I've no experience of long term reliability of either.
  • Renault Clio II (1998 - 2001) - Electrical system warning light 2 May 2002 (Forum)
    Okay the warning light for an electrical fault came on in my new shape Renault Clio. 1.2 16v. Anyone know a likely suspect for the cause. I cannot for the life of me find anything electrical that is not working. It has been very damp recently and i was wondering if that could cause it to give a false reading.
  • Renault Megane Central Locking 14 Jan 2002 (Forum)
    Hi, No local Renault dealers have been able to help with this really simple question - hope some of you guys can - on the latest shape Megane (or I guess Scenic) where on earth is the Remote Locking Sensor? The one garage that did have a stab at suggesting its location said up by the interior light on the roof console - where it was in the older models but its Not there!
