2003 megane with a few issues

Postby veilsidedan » Tue Aug 18, 2015 3:54 pm

hey, I've just got myself a cheap 1.4 petrol daily, was expecting a few issues and such, getting a full health check done on it next week just to ensure its safe etc,

but for time being I have a few issues and problems I am hoping somebody can help me with?

1. one of the key-cards doesn't seem to be working for the car? and the one that does work the master key thing in the side falls out so its held together with tape. are there any replacements for these or ways of fixing them?

2. the heater blowers are not working, ive searched YouTube and found a video which explains how to check the resistor behind the glove-box, its a non digital system too btw so I will give that a bash tomorrow when its not raining.

3. this is the most annoying, as soon as I start the car it stalls! I have to keep the revs up a little bit to stop it stalling, its a lumpy idle too but once driving it drives perfectly fine, but the idle seems very low and ive found loads of different symptoms online from throttle bodies to accelerator peddles etc but nothing definitive so any ideas there would be great.

4. the clutch biting point seems very very high to me, as in right at the top, the car has 111,000 miles on it so im wondering if maybe its due a clutch? its not slipping or anything and I believe the clutches are self adjust on these?

a long list I know but hoping somebody could take the time to reply for me :)

Thank You

From experience, 2 will be a replacement of the cables. As long as you can use a set of wire strippers, you'll be fine. :)
