• Renault Master Key 31 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  Had two of these replaced under warranty, but now I am on my own and I think it is a diabolical liberty that a Renault dealer wants £100.00. + the dreaded to provide a new key. The failed key still works the immobiliser. Do I have any other choices?? Happy new year to all........regards..............MD
• Renault Clio 1.2 RL windscreen blower 17 Nov 2006 (Forum)

• Renault clio head gasket failiure? 5 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  It looks like the head gasket or something related to this has failed, as I have water mixing with the oil and the coolant level keeps dropping. As this is such a young car with low milage does anyone know if I have a case against renault, because i don't know whether its a knackered gasket or a porous or cracked head? Has anyone else experienced this problem? All help appreciated

• Renault's A-Class 6 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  It would seem that Renault have now come a cropper when allowing their cars to be subjected to the infamous elk test. Apparently, some german boffins from the ADAC were testing their new budget car, the Logan, and simulated an emergency lane change at 40 mph which resulted in the car flipping and landing on its roof.
• Renault Sport Spider 9 May 2003 (Forum)
  Idly chatting in the pub last night, somebody mentioned the Renault Spider, the one with no windscreen. Nobody could remember the last time they'd seen one or a mention of them in the usual car magazines. I checked on Autotrader this morning and there are a total of 6 for sale nationwide, one of them only 8 miles from here.
• Renault Automatic Gearbox 11 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  Each time, pulling in at the side of the road and turning off the engine briefly has solved the problem. The car has done 59k miles. I know Renault auto gearboxes have a habit of going wrong so is this a sign that the gear box will soon need a bit of work done on it Any help or advice would be greatly apprecaited Cheers
• Renault Vel Satis 28 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  Does anybody else think this looks like an updated version of the Renault 25 - that was supposed to be "the latest" in car design when it was launched, ie a bit different from its mainstream competitiors, and it ultimately proved to be rather unpopular. I think its the Wraparound glass at the back which recalls the R 25.
• Renault Clio - Running light full of condensation 31 Jan 2021 (Forum)
  I was informed that the passenger side running light was full of condensation and for me to keep a eye on it incase water gets in causing an electrical fault and if it gets worse, Then they would contact renault to supply and fix a new sealed running light, When checking the light, I could see how bad it was for condensation, So i asked why can't it be done now, The lady on the desk told me, Renault wont replace it because its not in a bad enough condition,  This to me sounds crazy, There is a fault with the sealed unit, Why wait for it to get worse and even with condensation, Could it not cause an electrical fault.

• Renault Clio - Fitting a Renault Spare Wheel Release Clamp Winch 20 Apr 2017 (Forum)
  I have since found out that they operate by using a wheel release clamp and top winch carrier holder. I have read that these can cost £250, But phoning around second hand renault part dealers, These are selling for around the £40 mark, But most are from the old pre 2009 models, so unsure if these will be the same the Mk 4. Looking inside the boot of my Clio, There is a couple of blank plates that are gluded into place where the clamp would fit and not sure on how easy these would be to remove.
