The Mégane II Owners' Club

I refer you back to my previous post in this thread.

The handbook quite clearly illustrates a way to replace the bulb which does not involve removing the front bumper! Both the dealer and Renault UK do not have a leg to stand on suggesting otherwise.

It doesn't cause harm as such - it just causes less strain on the starting system if the clutch is depressed because the gearbox doesn't have to be turned over as well. My clutch start has just failed for the second time today. 15,000 miles since repaired by Renault. Would have thought that when rep...

Ask the dealer if he is prepared to state in writing that it is necessary to remove the front bumper to replace a headlight bulb. This is patently untrue as evidenced by the relevant section in the car's manual describing removal through the previously mentioned wheel arches. Garage is very much tak...

Both reverse lights should illuminate. However, with the foglights, there are bulbs on each side but only one is used depending on country.

I gave my rear brakes a good clean - think they may have been slightly binding - and got 36mpg from a couple of tanks. I have now dropped back down to about 30mpg. I know we are heading into winter and my lights are almost always on etc., but I do very little urban driving - mostly A-roads at speed ...

Sorry, I did realise that the message appeared on the dash and not the card - initial post wasn't very clear. The usage range of my cards doesn't seem to have diminished but I'll probably change the batteries anyway. I'm still curious about whether anyone has seen the fabled message, however.

Hi there, I notice the manual claims that the card will indicate when the battery in the keycard is running low. I've had my used Megane for 2 years now and suspect the batteries should be running out. So, can anyone confirm that the warning does appear or is it wiser to replace them in a preventati...

I see. Good Luck

As far as I know, if you make your dealer aware of the problem before the warranty runs out, then they it will be looked at as if under warranty. I think.

How much did you pay for it?

Sorted. Had to remove the glovebox to reveal the UCH. At far side (i.e., opposite to where it would be easier to access ) is the wee clip to plug in the alarm electrics. All seems to be working

Hi there! I am trying to fit an orignal Renault (ie Cobra) alarm to my Megane. Has anyone else tried this? It is a right-hand drive model and there is supposed to be a wire with a clip to plug the alarm wire to by the glove-box. However, I can't seem to find it! All I can see are the wires going int...

I had huge problems with my 1.4 cutting out when trying to start it when warm. Initially, the TDC sensor was replaced and seemed to help but the problem recurred. Eventually, the coolant temperature guage started to play up but still no problem found by garage. Finally, I managed to get it too them ...

Just posted a video of this starting problem on Youtube. It might help people decide if their car's experiencing the same problem or not...

You have to wait 60 secs before the alarm arms itself.
