• Renault Espace - Failed repair to alternator 14 Apr 2012 (Forum)
  I texted uk garage but received no reply. I rang breakdown insurers who arranged for car to be mended at nearest local Renault garage in Paris. They said both the alternator and battery needed to be replaced. This took 5 days and meant we had to use hire car and book 1 night extra on our holiday. When we returned to UK we visited the garage (in Yorkshire) who told us they wouldn't give a refund as we should have had car towed back to them!
• How to sell a 1919 Renault type EU 11 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  We have found it fairly easy to market the Royces, but we are looking for advice on how to best sell a 1919 Renault type EU. It needs a respray, but runs and drives lovely. It would make an excellent recommissioning project for someone. What I am asking, is how rare are these vehicles, what are they worth, and what would be the best place to advertise such a vehicle?
• Renault Scenic (2003 - 2009) - 04,Failed window regulator - opinions sought. 18 Apr 2011 (Forum)
  The sudden release of tension on the cables has flung them off the pulleys, and both have been damaged (frayed) by the still turning motor jamming them between the pulley and mechanism. The motor is still perfectly OK The sliding rail and frame are still perfectly OK. Renault want £200 for a complete new regulator. How that is justified I don't know! There are secondhand "genuine" ones on Ebay for 70 quid or so. There are pattern new ones on Ebay for 50 quid or so. There are rebuild kits available with new cables and spools, and replacement glass holders - total cost about 30 quid with postage.

  Booked it into a garage  but really strugggled to start it that day -after maybe 8 or more efforts the battery ran down, so needed to bel jump-started. The Renault Dealership in Luxembourg (we moved here 3 months back) diagnosed it as needing 4 new INJECTORS (full set) and bits that go with them for 1900 Euros ! The car cost us £3300 just 3 years back so unless I can get a better quote over the border or a better diagnosis then may even have to give up on the car.
• Renault Clio I Diesel - Non Starter 23 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  The battery is charging at 14.3volts when the car is running, once the car has been started, even for only minutes it will then start and run all day with no problems, it just seems that it never wants to start if it is left more than 8-10 hours, diesel is getting to the pump ok, and the heater plugs work as they were tested out of the car resting on the engine. Renault have had this car in there garage 4 times and we have paid over £500 for work that made no differance, the car starts ok when the whether is warm ie during the summer months....it just does not like the cold.

• Renault Espace (1997 - 2002) - 00 - electronic dash issues 19 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  TBH I'd settle for getting the dash reprogrammed to read in miles again. But I don't particularly want to go to a Renault dealer and be told I need to shell out a four-figure sum on a new dash and radio. Any ideas what's up / where to start? Needless to say I've tried disconnecting the battery for a few hours, to no avail.

• Renault Clio II (2001 - 2007) - 02 1.2 My spare tyre well fills with water 22 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  Yesterday we had to bail 25 pints of water out of the spare tyre well out of our car and there's dampness underneath the rear seats (in the middle). I rang my local renault garage and they suggested that it might be coming in from a door seal or from around the rear light fittings but I've been tipping water over the car for the past 2 hours and I can't see anything coming in.
