First post

Given the number of 'After-sales campaign' notices concerning Takarta Airbags I have been made aware of when looking up parts from PSA for members, I thought I would post a link to the following documentary that may be informative concerning the issue with these igniters.

According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

Disruption to Parts Service

Laguna 3 non-start...

Hi All,

Laguna 3, 2.0 petrol, saloon

A friend of mine has just come out here on a visit to France and he's started having trouble with his Laguna not starting. He can get in, press the button and the engine cranks but doesn't fire. It got a bit embarrassing getting off the train at Calais, but after about a minute, it started fine. That's how...

Hi All,

A friend of mine down in the Charente has a Laguna estate and the back end is lower than normal. The car is 300 miles away (I'm in Brittany) but I believe that it's a torsion bar setup; if it is, is adjustment a DIY job or should I tell her to take it in to her friendly neighbourhood garage bloke?

Thanks for any advice,

Phil 8-)

Dear Toh,
I am not really sure to be honest, but you may try;- whilst holding the trip reset button in constantly and turning your ignition key on and then off, and on again and off again, and turn it on again and finally off once more.

Renault 5 TR - what to look out for?

by ragger » 24 Apr 2013, 16:12

First post

I am seriously considering the purchase of 1237cc Renault 5 of 1989 vintage. Between the early seventies and the late nineties, I owned several of both generations and I am keen to have another simple car to go with the XM which is far from simple. Since my last R5 was actually bought new in 95, it is a very long time since I had much to do with...

Last post

Dear Ragger,
Hi-there,
I may be wrong, but if I remember correctly, these engines are all over head valve push-rods and tappets. With a small timing chain from the crankshaft to the camshaft with tensioner to keep the chain tight. Waterpumps were usually fitted right next the radiator, with some fan blades on normally.
The same set up as the...

sump plug on 1.4 meganne

by bill hughes » 23 Apr 2013, 14:07

First post

Hi a bit of a shot in the dark but the sump plug on my meganne is proving impossible for me to get out, has anyone had this problem and did they overcome it somehow, any advice would be appreciated many thanks

Last post

Dear Bill,
Normally a half inch drive ratchet with the appropiate adapter, would suffice to undo a sump plug Bill :wink:
If it is a little stubborn to shift, I find that if you give your ratchet handle a belt with a fairly large rubber mallet, should get it shifted Bill.
If it still doesnt move, you can use a half inch drive wheel brace ( a...

1997 Renault 19TD; as soon as the ignition is switched on, the lights-on buzzer sounds. I don't have any manuals or handbook with the car, so no idea where to look first.
Does anyone have any ideas - apart from remove the buzzer!

Laguna any good?

by paulcornwall » 08 Apr 2013, 12:22

First post

Read many articles on the net on the unreliability of the Laguna diesels, is it possible to get a unbiased opinion on sub £1500 cars? If so can you give one?

Last post

My father had a petrol lacuna for about 8 years.
To be honest he had very few problems until recently, but then again it would be 12 years old now so thats not surprising.
It was an ok car but I found it uninteresting. If going from a to b is your only concern then ok, but it was too much of a boring drive for me and the interior, although...

2007 Clio keyfob battery change.

by qprdude » 08 Apr 2013, 17:28

First post

Whilst not being in the Arnie Swarzenegger class, I'm no wimp, but I cannot get the key fob sections to slide as described in the handbook. I need to change the battery and the book say Slide the cover on the remote unit
Yeah, sure, I've had pliers, drivers and mole grips in play, and I cant shift the two halves. Is there a trick to it? Cheers.

Last post

Changed the battery . It took all of 30 seconds, as the parts guy said don't hang about as the synchro could be lost. Anyhoo, no difference. The key fob flashes red, just like the old battery, and the remote doesn't work. Strangely, the internal central locking button on the dash works fine, and even more strangely, with the fuse removed too!
Does...

It was around 30 quid for 20 litre. Plenty good for my petrols with no turbos. Problem with these fussy DI Renaults is, they need the best of oil.
