But

If it was the alternator wouldn't the light illuminate on the dash while driving bit like when the fan belt is slipping.
Disconnected boot light so its not that, it normally takes 2/3 days to run flat usually, its OK if used every day.

Today

Car started fine, & running great. What we have started doing is locking the car with just one push on the button not 2 pushes, the second push on the button dead locks & immobelises the car i think?

Will check all door & boot switches.

thanks

LPG

Yes, it has a tank that fits where the spare wheel would be, it cost £1500, had it done at Autogas Brimfield near Ludlow, just down the A49 from you. I contacted Renault & so long as the conversion was done by a certified garage then it didn't affect warrenty. The fuel inlet fits neatly behind t...
