BUT, i am now experiencing a clicking noise when the n/s/f window lowers - it occurs at different points, so is not consistent, and sounds like something tapping the glass. it does not happen on the way up. I am in ...

Re: Indicator Flashing fast

the bulb holder works loose, hence the rapid flashing saying a bulb has gone. it was a recognised fault.

a new bulb holder now has bigger connectors to stop it working loose.

That`s what two Renault mechanics told me.

Tailgate Struts

The tailgate struts in my 2005 megane sport tourer are failing.

Quote from Renault - £155 each.

Cost from Struts Direct - £13.85 each plus postage.

How can there be such a difference ????

Re: suspension noise

i am taking it back tomorrow. Whilst driving, i get some creaking, which i am led to believe is normal as it all settles in. The disturbing noise is as i go over "speed bumps" - a grinding noise, now followed by a "crack". Wierd, and worrying - the idea of getting the work done w...

Re: more expense

I wasn`t aware of that and the car will be back to me this week.

I`ll drop Renault UK a line. Car is 4 years old, but only 20,000 miles.

Re: tourer boot lock

sometimes happens on mine.

Open rear glass, close it, and the boot opens again.

basically, sometimes the boot glass works loose, making the car think it is open, and it won`t allow the boot open if the glass is open.

Garage has checked it out, suspension top mounts needed replacing - they also found another noise which i had but did not think anything of, ...

Thanks guys - yes, i`ll get the filters checked next week anyway, if it isn`t them i`1l put up with it a while. We are off to France soon, brother in law is a mechanic, so maybe if it gets too bothersome he can help me out.
