I put the sensors from the original engine into the new one........

come on people surely someone knows what type of iso i need i can put up pics of the wires from both my car and my cd dvd player.

If you have ISO connectors you should be able to plug in a new head unit. You might need an adapter cable if you have steering wheel controls you want to keep.

Post up a couple of photos of the front and back of your...

after a lot of digging around (took the steering wheel shroud off) found the electric power steering pump underneath, cleaned up a few connectors jiggled a few wires into the connections and yipee its now working.
seems like a loose conectiion

It's easy to do, remove the shaft, then remove the CV and the tripod bearings, slide the boot on, refit the tripod, slide it into the CV then fit the boot.

hi, I have exactly the same problem with my V6.. the nearside disc is seemingly warped. (there is a small vid in the 406 blog)

I used to think heat caused this, but seems unlikely..

it's a pain, and makes braking very annoying.. my discs are £100 plus :( I want to prove that it is the disc and not the hub the disc runs on.. will know more at...

Can't answer for sure, but I can't see why not

As far as I'm aware yours only has one coil and a set of HT leads?

With the ignition on, Press the end of the wiper stalk until miles to service appears on the dash screen.

Now, press and hold the mileage reset button on the instrument binnacle for more than 5 seconds, it will start to flash. Let go

This will reset your miles to service to the factorysetting and get rid of the flashing spanner !

A solution!!

I had to take it to the auto electricians - all he said was that there was a 'wiring problem in the motor ' - cost me £69 in total... happy enough with that as i was anticipating a new wiper motor!!

:lol:

The emmisions test will be based on the engine fitted, not the car itself.

Late reply I know, but it's a ball and socket affair, it may have come out. You just twist the motor to remove it, so it's a case of taking a look.

Bit of both, my Coupe lever moved back and forth a bit.

OBD connector on a scenic II can be found inbetween the two front seats on the floor, if you have a electric centre console slide it back ,on the floor you will find a rubber mat which you can lift up gaining access to OBD plug

No, the standard head unit doesn'r have pre amp out .

Airbag light is not part of the MOT test

You only have 15 seconds to replace the battery, after that the key loses it's memory and cannot be reprogrammed, you will find info here www.coupe-club.org.uk

You don't need to leave the car unlocked, use the button on the dash to lock all the doors, then the key to lock the driver's door.

Well I checked to see if the loom was there, and it's not, oh well, my Tomtom will suffice.

The engine reset button in the engine bay, is an innertia switch, which cuts out electrical power to the engine in the event of an accident.

C5s, and possibly others are known to have this feature .
Trips the onboard computers up too, throws up all sorts of spurious faults.

many thanks will give them a try
happy new year ! .

Hi. There is a good possibility that your brake lights need adjusting. No, don't laugh. As a fuel economy feature the engine management system cuts fuel to the engine when you brake, not enough to stall the engine but enough to bring it down to tick over. it gets the signal to do this whenever...

I would hardly consider those symptoms to be normal.

My guess is that they have refilled or topped up the gearbox with incorrect oil. Some of the boxes are very particular about the oil used in them and the wrong weight will reduce their useful life dramatically.

Can't remember the grade of oil off the top of my head but I think it is 75/80 but...

Sorry. I meant that the car battery has been replaced, not the keycard battery. The car actualy works fine and these things are just a minor irritant.

Broken wires in the loom where the door hinges.

While a DIY fix would be to repair the individual broken wires by splicing in new pieces it wouldn't be acceptable for a professional repair, they will be charging for stripping out the loom and replacing it with a new one.
Could take a while but the price does seem to be on the high side.

It may...

anyone :?

I remember seeing something on the TV a while back regarding Renault headlamps, I think the guy that did it had the relevant roadwheel off and there was an access point in the wheelarch :lol:
Would be worth a look there before taking the bumper off I would say.

That was a new Megane but the same access point may well apply.

It's just because you let it get so low, if the car would have had a trip computer it would have read --.-- too.

Next time just remove the battery neg terminal and it will reset it. But make sure you have the radio code and know how to enter it.

sorry its the 1.6 petrol.2005 grand scenic.

Hi, thanks for that. I am hoping when the scrayard opens tomorrow that i get somebody who doesnt know that they are VERY expensive and that they are still drunk from christmas and sell me one very cheaply! (cant see it though) :cry: However this just goes to show what people will do whatever time of year it is. Does anybody know what this box may...

You might have to wait a lot longer than an hour - I picked up a Blaupunkt CD player on ebay a few weeks ago which the previous owner couldn't get to work. I had to leave it on for four hours before it would prompt for the code.

The length of time you have to wait can depend on how many times the previous numpty tried to enter an incorrect code....

Hi, look at my relpy to renault megane scenic/Dashboard lights out. This should explain it.
Yes, your instrument panel is on the way out. It will progresively get worse then in the near future it will stop working all together.
Unfortunately there is a high failure rate on these displays but Renault wont admit to it. I feel if everyone who had...

It would seem that your piston rings are okay if that's the case. I would be checking your spark plugs, HT leads and coilpack if I were you.

Is the engine management light on?

Spotted a Lag today with the small black area and the auto mirror, seems there is a cover missing.

Hi,

Great, thanks for that. I guess it's fuse is in the standard fuse box too?

thanks
Louis

Louis,
Honest answer is I don't know.You may just have a loose connection.
Again based on what I know from my car.
I installed a s/h kit by plugging into the oem loom (yellow 10w connector) next to gear lever and everthing worked for me.The cradle...

This page explains things better than I could:

thanks
