This a common problem on these...

Always wanted to drive though Russia for some reason :oops: but having looked at this I'd doubt if I'd come back alive :shock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmsQ-obL1Z4 Are these guys for real?

Re: locked in my megane!

Can someone confirm this, being locked in in the event of power fail.

I thought the internal door release's were mechanical straight to the lock, and would function without power? Unless it's deadlocked ?

Re: oil grade

Alex thanks for the link. Is there any way I could mix what I have now with another grade to bring it closer to the grade needed? I'm thinking 0w40 with 15w40 would end up closer to what is required, or does it work that way? I just don't want to waste what I have now. I will of course use the prope...

oil grade

What's the worst that would happen if I put in 15w40 instead of 5w40 the manual recommends? I change oil twice yearly, should I buy the correct oil now to change now, then use the 15w40 next time ( eg in six months when most cold weather is gone).

its a 1.5 dci

Ta!

Re: vibration

Hi Irkirk, did you find cleaning/replacing the sensors you mentioned help reduce vibration when on the overrun? My 215km 1.5 dci seems to be a bit boomy when lifting the gas off at speed when say approaching a red light, roundabout etc, so thinking of having a go to see if I can improve this. :)

Re: Standard radio issues

It turns itself off after 20 mins if you just get in the car and turn it on (without engine on). This is normal. Seems like yours doesn't know if the engines on or not. All cables at the back ok?

Re: Reseting service indicator

Thanks for your post, however this is where I'm slipping up, as there is no button on the speedo in my car... I've looked on youtube for this and they all seem to have them... I've got nothing, not even a hole where the button would be :D Could it maybe be reset like the other variables in the compu...

Also, can someone tell me the difference between phase 1 and 2? Mines an 06 reg estate. Are there any sites with photos that show clearly the difference?

I maybe changing engine mounts and bushes etc soon so just want to make sure I order right parts that's all. Thanks

Reseting service indicator

Hi, my info screen keeps coming up with the service indicator and spanner symbol. I do the servicing myself and need to know how to reset this.
