Re: strange electrical faults please help

it sounds like that fuse in the glovebox, all of the items you mention run off that fuse.

Looking at the tech manual, its the 15amp fuse in the glovebox - middle row, 2nd from top for the radio. This fuse is directly beneath the 10amp fuse for the ABS.

Re: poor headlights

Can you adjust the beam from the adjuster inside the car next to the steering wheel? If so then they're halogen bulbs. If there is no wheel next to the dimmer one, then they're xenon. I assume your Megane is the facelift one with the 'projector' style bulbs..

Re: REPLACING STEERING RACK AXIAL BALL JOINT

hi guys, First off, I got my first MOT advisory this february @ 119,000 miles (the previous three MOTs, all done at a Renault dealer passed with no advisories :-) ) This MOT was done at the same dealer, and the advisory was for ... quote: "Nearside front (inesteering arm has slight play) Drag l...

Re: injector programming

to add what alex says, although im not 100% I do recall reading in the manual that if the injectors are not programmed, revs are limited to xxxxrpm (I cannot remember) - this may not be correct though, as I say I'm not 100%

Re: Clutch slave failing? Cost?

From a Renault dealer at standard pricing, yes that's about right I'm afraid. Four year old car with 40,000miles on it, should a clutch slave cylinder only last that long? I'd ring Renault customer services and explain your situation - maybe they'll contribute to the repair. I think they should anyw...

Re: Steering lock.....argh

Unfortunately the only thing I can suggest is a visit to Renault as the steering lock is part of the security system on the car. From what I've seen on this forum, and from what I've seen in the official renault technical manuals, the steering lock is coded to the ECU and may or may not be reprogram...

Re: Crunchy gearbox

Just to add a few comments, as it may help... Back in the day, my megane 1.9 dCi 6 speed was not so smooth in the mornings, in summer or winter. Got my dealer to changed the gearbox oil (supposedly with fully synthetic), and gearchanges were much smoother in the mornings, but only in summer. 90,000m...

Re: New Renault Latitude - Unmistakeably Japanese...

google Samsung SM5,

You'll find it looks very similar! After all, Samsung motors are part of Renault :cool:

Just like the Koleos, it's designed by Renault, manufactured by Renault Samsung, but developed by Nissan!
