Hi All,
Megane now gone and after been advised by a few mecahnics I have opted for a safer/reliable option of a Vauxhall Astra.
Thanks to all for help and advice over the past few painful years of being a Megane owner.....
Over to the astra owners club for me ....
Thanks
J.

Re: Im New :) Can someone help me please :(
Hi,
Had the check injection message at the beginning of the year and car cut out (petrol not diesel).
Unfortunatley it was my timing belt that had gone and £1000 later was fixed
