  • Where are all the classics cars? 9 Dec 2015 (Forum)
    On my way into work, I normally see quite a few classic cars. But in the past two weeks, I've seen barely any. The last one I saw was a very early Renault Espace a few days ago. Anyone else seen any interesting cars on their way to and from work?

  • Automotive Pairs 23 Nov 2009 (Forum)
    While walking around my local area I have noticed a few two-car families where the two cars are virtually identical. One has two black Honda CRVs. Another has two Renault Scenics of similar vintage. Have they found the perfect car for their needs or do they just lack imagination?
  • The F1 & motorsport thread - Vol 18 16 Mar 2008 (Forum)
    So I see Alonso is leaving Mclaren with no financial penalty on either party. Wasn't a surprise he'd be leaving though was it. Looks like a move to Red Bull or Renault most likely. So about to see a shake up of a few teams then - cannot be good for some drivers.
  • When braking front side lights come on ? 24 May 2007 (Forum)
    Just purchased a 1994 Renault clio for my daughter as a first car. The problem she has is that when she brakes the brake lights light up as they should but the front sidelights also light up ? Any ideas what could be causing this ?
  • Clio III/Megane II 4 Apr 2007 (Forum)
    (I know it's not ideal, but if the Megane is thought to be decent, I'll make the hour journey to the second-closest Renault dealer...)
  • Which wheels fit different cars? 20 Nov 2006 (Forum)
    Could anyone point me to any guide which shows which wheels will fit which car? i.e. Peugeot wheels fit citroens (obviously) and ford. Renault fit BMW and (I think) VW. Any help would be appreciated! {Subject header made less vague - DD}
  • Megane Air re-circulation noise? 16 Aug 2006 (Forum)
    Has anyone had a noise from the air re-circulation flap on a renault megane. The noise is from the dash area above the glove box and only stops when you disconnect the wiring at the scuttle panel. Any ideas of what causes the noise and how much to repair? Cheers
  • French cars..good or not? 2 Apr 2006 (Forum)
    I love the design of some French cars but am reluctant to part with hard earned as I hear so many bad stories about quality. Mate has a Scenic, 46,000mls... engine knackered with shot pistons. Auto gearboxes on Renaults..did HJ highlight this? last about three years. Any info welcome.

  • Free 2nd hand parts finder service 29 Sep 2004 (Forum)
    It appears to offer the same service as part finder etc without charging anything to the punter. http://www.247salvage.com I have just tried it for my Renault Trafic to see if it would locate a replacement gearbox. We'll see H
  • Laguna II Ball Joints 23 Jul 2004 (Forum)
    Ours (a 2001 Y plate with 38000 on the clock) has just failed its first MOT for this reason - this seems very premature? Need some ammunition with which to confront Renault UK. Thanks.
  • Clio 1.4rt engine problem 7 Mar 2003 (Forum)
    Hi, I have a renault clio 1.4rt 1994 model & when it is running as the revs get to around 2000rpm the engine seems to die. But if the accelerator is pressed the engine responds. The only things I think the problem could be is either the throttle stepper motor or the throttle position sensor.
  • Mondeo Handbrake 19 Mar 2002 (Forum)
    My neighbour took me out to the drive to see my Mondeo pushing gently into the side of the wife's Renault. Handbrake was fully on. Only had the car a week. It's a Fordsure 2001Y 1.8. Garage claimed fully serviced before I got it. Anyone had a similar problem? Tony
  • Can a service period be that long? 12 Dec 2001 (Forum)
    I bought my Renault Megane Alize in January 2001, with 19,000 on the clock. A sticker on the inside of the windscreen says, next service at 36,000 miles or January 2003. I have just reached 30,000 another six months to reach 36,000.
  • Renault Clio II (1998 - 2001) - 99 1.4 Problem ticking over 29 Oct 2016 (Forum)
    He replaced the old valve but the car would randomly rev up and wouldn't pass emitions test. I therefore had to declare it SORN as I couldn't tax it! He removed the ECU and sent it to Renault who reported no fault, informing him it would be the wiring. I’ve now been without a car for 3 1/2 months and he doesn't know what to do now. I can’t even use it for part-ex or scrap page scheme and I’m at my wits end!!
  • Renault scenic rx4 - Faulty car- want to return it 4 Aug 2014 (Forum)
    I bought a Renault Rx4 at the weekend after answering a classified ad on ebay which stated that the car was stunning, excellent driver etc . When I got home I was looking over the car the next morning and had a good look underneath the car which we could not do in the garage,only to discover that the propshaft to the rear wheels was missing.
  • Renaultsport Clio 200 - Renault paint issues 10 Oct 2012 (Forum)
    The outcome was that, the paint finish was poor and both front wings would need spraying along with the rear o/s quarter to get the car back to a good standard. So roll on September 2012 when the car would go back to the same Renault approved bodyshop that carried out the first repair. When I went to pick the car up I was totally gob smacked. Not only was the paint finish a million times worse but they also managed to curb a wheel.
