This week I was informed only one rear brake light was working (driver's side). I bought a bulb and replaced the passenger side bulb.. It still did not work. I then swapped the bulbs. Again the passenger side bulb would not work hence eliminating any possibility of the bulb itself being faulty. I changed the fuse although I later realised it was...

Hello all,
I have a 2000 clio 1.4 alize which is misfiring badly. I had to change two of the coil packs last year for a similar misfire. I have pulled each coil pack lead off in turn to see if its the same problem, but the car stalls with each one i take off, to me this says its not a coil pack issue.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Crankshaft...

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a Laguna but the seller says
Service history up to 47,155 miles, thereafter, I've been informed, like most cars these days, the service history is recorded electronically rather than stamps in the book.

Is this ture?

If not what should I expect to pay for a full service including I guess cam belt?

Thanks
Louis

whats the best plugs for my 1.6 vvt scenic its on a 06 plate

Just bought an 03 Lag II Dynamique 1.9 DCi Tourer

Hi all

Im having a problem with my 02 renault scenic.

I went to start it this morning, and all of a sudden it has become really hard to turn the key. I've stuck some WD40 in it, but it has made no difference. Is this going to be expensive?!!

Thanks

Hi all. We went away for a couple of weeks and the handbrake got left on in the clio. The brakes were reluctant to come off when it was first driven (nothing unusual there) and since then this ha happened a couple of times. The other day the wife was driving and said the car felt like it wasn't driving properly so I took it for a drive and it felt...

Knowing I've got a Citroen, someone with a 54 plate Grand Scenic has asked me if I've any ideas: -

Hello all. I have been drawn to a rather tempting ad for an 04 plate Dynamique 1.9DCi. 69K on the clock- I'm mildly questioning the price (trade) as it seems very reasonable (below Parkers) and not sure whether that itself is telling me something.

Anyway- wanted to ask you experts out there what are the laguna specific things I should be looking...

Where is the Cruise Control ECU located in a Laguna mark 1?

The Haynes manual says under the front passenger seat, but in the V6 24v donor vehicle, there is nothing there at all - not even a cover. Further, when I contacted my local Renault spares place, their system indicates that, for this '97 V6 24v, it's near the fuses & relays (e.g. above...

Hello,

Last week my service light came on as well as my airbag light on the display. I've also been getting a strange clicking noise from the steering wheel whenever I turn it that's led me to believe that this is a broken Rotary Switch.

This can only be done at the garage can't it? I have tried searching for replacement parts but unable to find...
