Re: 2004 megane cc

they just want adjusting correctly... unfortunately, bad adjustment on the majority of cars has left the megane with a poor watertight image, which is a shame... They categorically do not leak or have problems with doors sealing if the adjustments are correct... MMmmmm Not quite correct I am affrai...

Re: Megane 1.5 dci FAP 110 EDC - horrible experience!

just to re assure you... mine is always driven around town and you will not get much better mpg in winter than the 29 you quote.... Take it on a 10 mile round trip and your back to the high 50 s... Remember to halve your service intervals... ( just for comparison my 2.2diesel civic can match out of ...

Re: Extremely slight whine when accelerating

mine had 25k miles on and lovely clean oil serviced every 3k miles for the 7 year history...(1.5diesel) But 700 miles into ownership I noticed the turbo was whining and sounding overly loud, so much so both my dashcams picked the noise up... I also noticed when I gave the engine a slight rev/blip th...

Re: Head Gasket/Coolant problem

Hi, Thanks for replies..................Bambam....it is a new filler cap, but it is meant to let water out at a certain pressure? If it is an exhaust gases leak into the coolant system, then if I use Kseal would it work as surely the pressure of the exhaust gas would stop the kseal getting to where...

Re: tyres for cabrio

I think the thing we can all take from this thread, is that tyres are a subjective matter. nope... tyres are either good or sh1t... My lotus was shod with advan rubber at £250 on the rear every 3000 miles driving the peak and they were well ready despite never having spun the wheels just negotiated...

Re: Exhaust DRIPPING Lots of black runny oil !
