• Starter motor firework display 3 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  hello > I have a renault 5, I replaced the starter motor with a used part which i am assured is in good order.

• Various - Small/Medium Estate 4 Jan 2022 (Forum)
  To be used for general local duties, occasional longer journey's & accommodate a couple of medium size dogs The Ford Focus/Vauxhall Astra route seem to be in short supply, so l'm considering other offerings; which are: Peugeot 207 SW - 1.4/1.6  (are these chain cam?)  Renault Clio Tourer - 1.2 Seat Ibiza - 1.4 (just in budget though not many) l considered the Skoda Fabia however, do these petrol models (at this budget) have the suspect chain cam? l know condition at this price point is a big factor.
• The possible uptake of British Cars - Brexit 16 Dec 2020 (Forum)
  With price rises on cars imported from Europe Nissan may decide to ramp up production at Sunderland to take the place of Renault cars from France. And Toyota are well placed with production at Burnaston likely to be ramped up in the event of a no deal. And has anyone heard any news from Swindon that Honda may be retaining some sort of presence.

• Hidden Feature on my Megane 21 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  I found a neat feature on my megane today that I never knew existed, and having looked through the renault books that came with it, they have kept it well hidden! If the car is in motion and you put the constant wipers on (not intermittent) then they will come on and stay on. If you then stop the car (i.e. at traffic lights or whatever) then the wipers stop and go into intermittent mode!
