Hi guys, having an issue with the dipped headlight and drl on the drivers side both out. Bulbs look fine. Full beam works.

I'm assuming the fuses are ok because the same fuse seems to control the rear tail light, number plate lights, audio system, cig lighter and other systems and they are all working.

Cant seem to find any information about a...

I have an issue with starting when left over night it doesn’t make a difference if it’s warm outside.
it cranks for ages then eventually fires with a puff of white smoke followed by a rough idle for about 20 seconds. If then left for about 4 hours you only have to show it the key and away it goes with no problems. Has...

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a 2005 Scenic II K4M 761 automatic. Long story short, my AC compressor suddenly failed while driving, making loud metallic noises. I pulled over immediately as I didn't want to risk the serpentine belt snapping and taking out the timing belt, so I got the car towed to a garage.

There we inspected both belts,...

Hi! My radio got stuck in my Megane. I did a google search and saw that you need the serial number of the radio to unlock it... I took the radio off and that serial number is erased from the label. I did another search on how to find out the code without the serial number and this page came up : but it's pay. Do I have another alternative or will...

Hi there

I'm definitely not car-minded, and I am baffled. My kangoo keeps cutting out when l slow down coming to junctions but restarts straight away. Pushing on the fuel pump wiring and using a cable tie to secure the connector helped for a while. The glow plug light comes on to warn me it is going to cut out. If l keep on the revs it is fine...

Hi everyone, I'm looking to upgrade the rear brakes on my '90 renault 5 from drums to discs. Has anyone here done it in the past and have any suggestions for the best way to do it? Thanks

I have a 2016 Mégane 1V . Recently the heater does not seem to blow hot or cold air. I have changed the cabin filter although It was not very dirty, but no difference. If I switch from auto to using the sliding fan control I can hear the blower speeding up but still not much air. Could there be a blockage somewhere? Thank you.

Hi. I just got a new to me, 16 plate kadjar.. really nice.... the only bit I'm struggling with is the fuel cover, there is a pull lever in the car with a fuel logo on it. Pull it and the door pops open, but if I push it from the right side of the door, it opens anyway... should this not be locked until the lever is pulled up open the fuel cover...

Hi

I'm in the process of repairing the engine on quite a nice 2005 Megane hatch 1.4 16v. The further in I get, the worse things are. The self-adjusting tappets are mostly seized, with the rocker arms loose and meandering around inside the valve cover, consequently the lobes are scored, and a valve is wedged open with a rocker. Underneath, the...

Hello all,
I'm new here, thank you for accepting me to this honorable forum.
The button panel that is located under the media screen was hit and pushed in. How can I get behind it in order to push it back to its place?
And how do you think it would be best to fix it there? I guess something broke there and it won't stay in place without fixing.

Hello,

I’ve bought a Mégane 3 Gt line estate 2015 1.6dci VF1**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]…and I struggle to buy parts for it for example shock absorbers. I don’t know if I have standard suspension or sport.

The handbook for my Renault Alpine GTA turbo states Elf TRX 80W API GL5 for the gearbox. Can't seem to get this now so what would be a good substitute? Must it be GL5 or would GL4 be ok? On looking this up I read that GL5 is not suitable for gearboxes!

Even just to defog my windows. Every mechanic I asked thus far (about 3) said they could not...

The main beam on the headlights do not stay on after the stalk is pulled back and clicked to stay on, but come on when the stalk is held back.

The wipers do not work in stalk position 1 but work as you would expect if you hold the wiper stalk between off and setting 1. As soon as the stalk 'clicks' into setting 1 the wipers freeze.

It's actually a Vivaro but let's not get wrapped up in that!

I replaced the starter motor in my daughter's 2.0CDt over the weekend using the remove front end method rather than from underneath as I didn't have a ramp.
