Radio then flat battery

Postby MissM » Wed Oct 28, 2015 11:50 am

Well radio decided to go off on my way home from work last night, lo n behold this morning then a flat battery within the space of 12 hours...
Taken the fuse out after RAC got me going again but the lights are still on around the radio...
Question is if the radio is dead how difficult a job to be replaced ( hopefully this is the problem) and if it's not what's drained the battery any ideas of any other causes please guys n gals ...?..
Tnxs in advance

if its the standard radio its straight forward to change, if your battery was flat it may need the radio code putting back in , if you don't have this the radio has to come out to get to the label stuck on the side
Drive it like you stole it

Is the headlight access hatch cover missing on the front left wheel arch liner?

Well apparently I have a software update issue and only Renault can do this in the meantime I just have to disconnect the battery if the lights stay on until it can be booked in ..
