Ok.. xenon headlight on drivers side doesnt work. got new bulb still not working. took car 2 renault to try and find the fault. 1st they say it needed a new computer for the lights to work then they say it is not that. checked all the wiring everything fine in the engine bay. had to leave the car in all weekend so they can strip the dash and check the wiring there. as of today they are now saying it needs a ucs. is that better

Yes much! :grin

Is your car still under warranty, or are they going to bleed you dry for a new UCH?

You can speak English after all :lol:

Do you mean a UCH? I hope it's under warranty, it won't be cheap

Bleedin ell! :eek

As you are only just out of warranty I would contact RCS and enquire about a contribution to this. Dealers have a pot of money allocated to them that allows them to contribute to out of warranty repairs, depending on what it is that gone wrong and how long out of warranty you are.

Have a read of this; -
