• Renault Clio - Creaking noise when steering to park or drive out 12 Feb 2024 (Forum)
  I have a new Renault Clio automatic. My driveway has a bit of slope as the street is sloping down. I have observed that when I take a hard left and then hard right in reverse gear while manoeuvring to park in the bay I hear a creaking or clunking kind of sound as if a metal to metal contact under pressure.

  Hi, I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on a idling issue that I am currrently having with a 2003 1.6 16v Renault Scenic (Petrol).

• Renault Clio - Safe car for daughter to drive - up to £1500 3 Apr 2015 (Forum)
  She is making good progress but needs to do a little practice between lessons. Lady at work was selling her 2006 Renault Clio Dynamique 1.2 16v and Clio was purchased.  Sorted insurance (Fluxinsure) and all well. Daughter is learning in a 2013 Clio diesel and just cannot get used to the jerkiness of driving a petrol Clio.

• Renault Megane - Suitable Replacement for Mk1 Megane 26 Apr 2011 (Forum)
  Having had my 1997 Renault Megane 2.0 RXE from new, it's time for a change. The old lady is bowing out gracefully with a bit of rust on the rear wheel arches and increasingly niggling little problems. Not worth spending much on it now as it's still going to be a 14 year old car and all's downhill now with it.
• Renault grand scenic AUTO - Need to find someone who has a demonstrator 1 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  My lease car comes up for replacement in a couple of months.  I'm looking at replacements now,  but the Renault dealer has told me he has NO chance of getting hold of an automatic for a test drive. I only have an auto licence,  and as I'm short & disabled,  I really need to test drive a vehicle, to make sure I can reach/see everything comfortably before I commit to a 3 yr lease I'm interested in the 1.5 dci auto,  but any auto will do, as driving position/internal layout are more important than engine to me at this point.

• Renault Clio II (1998 - 2001) - Service History Not Given 11 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  I got the advert off the internet and it stated there was a full service history. I have a few problems with the car as the Dashboard has burnt out and needs to be sent back too Renault for repairs. I went back to the garage and asked about the service history. They said it was given to me at the time and I know it wasnt. Think they are trying to pull a fast one. Is there anyway I could find out the service history?

• Renault Espace (1997 - 2002) - 98 3.0 Do I need to replace water pump 19 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  Hi All I need some help please with my 1998 V6 Renault Espace. It recently overheated and was towed back to a garage. The AA man said it's the expansion chamber, which I have replaced and it no longer overheats. It now makes a noise but yesterday a friend poured some water on the belt next to the pump and the noise disappeared for a minute or two.
• Renault Espace (2002 - ) - 2004 2.2DCi Inlet manifold oil leak 29 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  The latest problem that our Renault dealer is reporting with our Espace (50k miles) is that there is an oil leak from the inlet manifold. It's nothing to do with the turbo because they have just replaced that, but I don't understand why there would be any oil feeds at the inlet manifold?
