• VW Passat Coolant Change 28 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  . -15°C protection rather than -25°C from new. Is a coolant change easy? I'm going to find a Haynes manual. Last time I did this, Renault 18, bleeding the air out was tedious. -- I wasna fu but just had plenty.

• Fuel Additives & MOT Emissions 24 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  If fuel additives (redex etc) claim to reduce emissions, will they help on your MOT test at all?? Seems too good to be true to me. It's a 1992 1108cc phase 1 Renault Clio- failed on CO. Furthermore, it's about the only non-cat clio- the test centre will know this won't they? Any help appreciated for a new-boy
• Unusual Isuzu SUV 21 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  It's quite a stylised, sporty loooking model, about the size of a Freelander and hasan integral hardcover for the spare wheel built into the rear door, in the same style as the Renault Scenic RX4. Any ideas on what model this is? I'm intrigued.

• Is a Skoda 'really' a Volkswagen 2 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  Hi I'm looking to relpace my Clio (4yr old).. had my fill of Renault.. esp petrol versions.. lost count of the coil packs I have had replaced. I really like the VW Passat but it is too expensive. even S/Hand, for me. looking at the Octavia 1.9TDi 5Dr.. I know VW make it... but is the build similar?
• warranty direct reliability release 30 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  great result, all they need to rectify is the expensive parts list and first place will be a cert next year. Renault looking appauling again, other of note is audi who look terrible. And how do Seat make VW chassis better than VW? Rover-Mg result was decent - room for improvement. Fiat seemed to do well.
• Laguna Clutch adjustment? 25 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  Hello I\'m new here. I have a problem with my renault laguna-I want to adjust the clutch semiauto adjust mechanism but on my car it does not look like in the haynes-it has no markings to show locked or unlocked and i can\'t seem to twist it. the unit is just black with no external markings like lock/unlock.
• C Max Tdci vs Scenic dci 25 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  As I have mentioned previously, I have a "51" reg Scenic dci which I am very disappointed with the engine. I know Renault Family sing the praise of its successor in the Laguna with the 120bhp and 6 speed box. Reading on Ford's website about the C max with their diesel engine and it looks good. Anyone have experience of both of these?
• Espace Replacement Engine 10 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  My neighbour has overheated his Renault Espace 2.1TD and has been advised by his garage that it requires a new engine. How likely are you to trash this engine by overheating it? He's looked around to try and obtain a replacement/exchange engine but they seem to be in extremely short supply.
• Semi automatic handbrakes 31 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  Just been driving a Renault VelSatis, the hand brake puts its self on when you turn off the engine and releales when you start to move off, if you want to put it on for a hill start etc. you pull a switch to the right of the steering column, then pull off and it self releases, I can't help asking my self, "WHY"?
• Scenic equivalent in Canada 31 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Hi, We are emigrating to Canada soon and as such will need a new car in Canada. We really like our present car (a Renault Scenic 1.6) and were wondering if anyone had any experience of cars in Canada. Ideally we would like an equivalent car. I guess the engine will be bigger but apart from that we really don't need a car bigger than the Scenic.
• Saab 9000CDE Auto 22 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  I am the new owner of an N reg, 80000 mile specimen and would like to know if anybody has any experience of this model. Compared to my old K reg Renault 25 auto, it is a \'rocket\' and I am very pleased with it. However, it seems to be a very reluctant starter. The handbook says that the accelerator should not be touched during starting but mine will not start unless the accelerator is used.
• cars up north. 23 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  i think everyone should know how cheap cars are up north, in the paper you can buy a 1989 renault 5, with FSH, 54000 miles, tax and test, all for £200. what about the 1986 bmw 525i, that went at the local auction, FSH, 85000 miles, tax and test, it went for only £80. a 55000 mile pug 205, from 1987, with FSH, went for £70.
• Low Sulphur Petrol - Poor economy 5 Jun 2001 (Forum)
  Is this normal or should I be looking elsewhere? Exactly the same occured with my previous Diesel car when City Diesel became available. Renault Laguna 2.0 16v Estate for what it's worth.
• Windscreen radio aerial 17 Mar 2001 (Forum)
  It's virtually impossible to solder onto the glass and I am despairing at getting decent radio reception. My Renault dealer wasn't interested and seemed to think I was the only person with this problem. Any suggestions?
• Renault Zoe 2 Aug 2025 (Forum)
  The one genuine success so far has come from gradually replacing our fleet of pool cars with used Renault Zoe’s. These have to date been absolutely hassle free. Aside from one fan motor and the usual suspension components expected at the age and mileage, the Zoe’s are proving to be very robust and popular among the drivers.
