• Renault Laguna II - Climate Control 10 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  With the climate control unit on Auto and temperature set to 18 degrees on both sides; on a warm sunny day I had noticed the A/C light on but the inside of the car was not cooling down like it use to. The car went into my local Renault dealership last Summer for re-gassing and servicing of the A/C system. The next day which was a warm day again, I started the car and waited. The control unit was cooling for A/C again so I waited for the usual clunk of the compressor kicking in which it did and the blower fan started to increse speed to cool the inside of the car down.
• Renault Clio II - Intermittenly refusing to start and cutting out 16 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  Its now picking and choosing when its going to fire, if at all and even more worryingly decides to cut out (as if its stalled) whilst driving. I must admit i know nothing about cars apart from never to buy a clio or renault of any sort ever again. As i mentioned, my garage is fab but i get the impression that even they're a bit baffled, especially as when they just came to look at it it worked fine. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
• Renault Espace (1997 - 2002) - 02 2.2 Dci engine rattle under load 20 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  You can sit with it on the drive and rev the engine as hard as you like and apart from the agricultural noises these renault diesels make - no rattle at all. yet set off up the road, or uphill and accelerate and it makes a terrible rattling sound. It seems to be coming from the right hand side of the engine, disapears after you reach a reasonable speed (35 - 40mph) can't be heard when you get it moving in 3r, 4th or 5th gear, or when the engine is not labouring , accelerating or under load.

• 13 Nov 2019 (Forum)
  HJ, Re "Ins and Outs" from MH, Lichfield, I recall recently, Renault offering a no cost switch to smaller wheels on the Kadjar model. Usually on the drivers side door jamb of most cars, there is a sticker showing the range of wheel sizes homologated to each model, so surely it would be worthwhile for OEM's to offer different wheel sizes, either as NCO's, or at an in lieu of price, to cater for the growing numbers of buyers who don't want to lose their fillings at the first twig they drive over?.
• Any - most awkward car to change a bulb on. 30 Apr 2018 (Forum)
  You have to take the headlight off the V70 to get at the bulb. Why do they make it so difficult?  Apparently some Renaults need a major effort.

• Any - Dirty old cars? 1 Apr 2012 (Forum)
  The old Renault sailed through its MOT today. Clean pass, one minor advisory. So how dirty is a 16 year old 2 valver running on Asda smart price? Fast idle: HC: 0 (yes, zero) ppm, Max:200ppm CO: 0.1% max 0.3% natural idle: CO: 0.31%, Max:0.5% So, not very 'dirty' at all.
• Why don't all wipers wipe from the centre? 8 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  Looking at a Renault Modus in the supermarket car park yesterday, I noticed that the wipers operate from the centre of the screen outwards so there isn't an unswept area left on one side or the other, usually the passenger's.

• Farewell diesel? 25 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  I found this on the channel4.com site: "Like Volkswagen, Renault is predicting a swing in consumer preferences back towards petrol engines when the Euro V legislation comes in. Diesel engines will have to become more expensive, with more sophisticated emissions control devices such as advanced catalysts and particulate filters, and customers may not be prepared to pay a for it, particularly in smaller cars."
• Most Comfortable Car 24 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  I drive 66 miles a day over a mix of A & B roads to and from work in a Renault Clio. At the end of each day I feel all of those 66 commuted miles. The Citroen C5 with its soft suspension might be the sort of car to all a drive of that distance in good comfort. What's the view out there are to the most comfortable car out there for that kind of journey so that 66 miles might feel more like 33?
