Re: handles help

Thanks Sav, I did it, whooop whooop ! It is fairly easy, just a bit of perseverance, and I suppose you need the right kind of light outside to be able to peer inside the door cavity. Next I'm off to the junk yard to get the replacement parts, should have all 4 caps replaced for £10 ! yeeeeeeowwww !!!

Re: handles help

I am a Muppet, but I pulled out the bung, used a torch, but couldn't really identify any lever at the front or back doors....

I wish I was better with cars !

Would it help if I took the door panel off ?

Re: handles help

I phoned the local renault dealership - via the Servicing section and they said... That the handles were not covered under the corrosion paint sections of the warranty - and so it would be £100 a handle to replace entire unit. Does anyone have any ammunition I could use to say, they are wrong, or do...

Re: handles help

Has anybody ever replaced the handle caps?

Do you have to take the door panel off the inside and unscrew them?

I've heard u can just clip them on and off from the outside...

Re: handles help

Also, my chrome handles are peeling (not the actual useful part - but the bit to the side) - does anyone know if these can be replaced and if so, could you provide a company name or link please ?

(sorry about hijacking your forum, but your post reminded me)

Calling Fellow 1.9 DCI Owners (Turbo Sound)

Hi Guys, I just took receipt of a 2003 Megane 1.9 DCI. The turbo makes a sound - that other diesel drivers don't recognise as the sound of the turbo (though it is the turbo). I've read elsewhere that the DCI engine does have a peculiar sounding turbo - very high pitched (almost electronic sort of no...

Re: How I improved my MPG

If it wasn't on this forum it was on Renault forum. The advice was to drive at high revs for a few miles as this can help move build ups of something or other through the system. And I do - do the light right foot driving minimal braking stuff. But here is a question I have - though it might seem st...

How I improved my MPG

I've picked up some advice from the forum, so thought I'd feed back my experiences. I was getting low 40's MPG at the start. I then went down the motorway for a few miles in 4th gear and kept the revs over 3000, I did this twice in a week, and my mpg improved overall by about 5 mpg. (someone on the ...
