• Fuel level gauges 19 Dec 2000 (Forum)
  Hi, I read a few weeks ago about the not-so accuate fuel level readings from the dash-board readout. I read HonestJohn's reply to this, and he stated that is is something to do with the design of the fuel tank (!?!). I recently brought a new Renault Clio (X-reg) and everytime I come to refuel

• Small MPV 7 Mar 2001 (Forum)
  I need to replace my old Volvo and I have been looking at the mini MPV's by Renault, Nissan Citroen etc. I seem to have narrowed it down to the Tino and the Scenic, but they both have their pro's and con's, the Tino has the Nissan reliablity and has more space inside and looks ok from the outside

• Windscreen radio aerial 17 Mar 2001 (Forum)
  My Laguna (18 months old) has its radio aerial built into the rear windscreen. The problem is that the connecting wire (which is soldered onto the windscreen) keeps falling off. It's virtually impossible to solder onto the glass and I am despairing at getting decent radio reception. My Renault

• Vectra A/C 12 Apr 2001 (Forum)
  with a short rant re the motor manufacturers who seem intent on forcing A/C on all of us. A friend of mine with a Renault Safrane had to shell out over a grand to keep his vehicle on the road when his A/C compressor seized. Again like me he does not want or need it but there is no poverty model of his car
• gizmos and gadgets 17 Apr 2001 (Forum)
  I had a rare night tonight in front of the telly with a few beers and I have a recollection of an advert for a Renault which would tell you if your tyres were soft. On the Mercedes Actros HGV units you can call up a display which will tell you exactly how much oil you need to add or remove

They contacted

  I've owned a Renault Megane for 12 months and, from day 1, I've noticed what can only be described as an intermittent 'clunking' noise from the front of the car whenever I travel over uneven roads. The car has been through an MOT and a full service yet nothing has been found to be amiss. Renault
