• Renault Megane II (2002 - 2008) - 05 1.9 Intermittent Electrical Fault 3 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  Same thing happended again Wednesday having parked and then trying to re-start a few moments later. I've take the car into a renault accredited service centre to undertake a diagnostic but my bet is it will not tell them anything. Having trawled this forum and the internet it seems that renaults are famed for electrical problems.

• Renault Megane II (2002 - 2008) - Headlamp Bulbs 28 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  I am told other manufacturers, including Rover, require this under-the-wheelarch contortionist, small handed but long fingered, working blind technique. Come to think of it I do seem to remember one of the Renault technicians didn't half remind me of ET.
• 1987 Renault 5 ... cutting-out 17 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  My Renault is no longer starting. For the past two weeks it has been cutting out whilst I've been driving. To start with it would re-start staright away. Then it would take a couple of minutes before it re-started.

• 2018 - Dacia duster parts 12 Feb 2024 (Forum)
  They usually blamed the dealer (a franchise of Renault). The franchise dealer were at least forthcoming to me but not brilliant at keeping me in the loop. It didn't really seem that the franchise and customer care at Renault spoke to eachother and relied on me doing all the donkey work.

• Renault Drive test drives - great idea 21 Jul 2016 (Forum)
  OK, before anti Renault people pooh pooh the ideas, I will admit that I like Renaults both from the past and now. But I also like other makes too. However, one thing I don't like in general is part of the car choosing and buying process where you simply want to test drive a car but find that you invariably have to do so with a salesman accompanying you.

• Renault Clio 1.2 Dynamique petrol 16v - Clio emissions light permanently on, car sluggish 27 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  It is my misfortune to have a 2004 Clio Dynamique 1.2 16v which has been suffering from (a) constant emissions warning light on dashboard and (b) feeling sluggish.  I've taken it to several garages, including a main Renault dealer, but nobody seems able to (a) tell me what the problem is or (b) give me a quote for fixing it that will cost less than the car is worth.   I took it to one garage who plugged in their diagnostic machine, tried changing the ignition coil, but when that didn't work recommended I take the car to Renault instead (they didn't charge me for their labours, which was very decent of them).
