Speaking generally, adjustment of the headlamps does both main and dip at the same time. It's not possible to do one without the other. It's either a problem with the bulbs not being seated correctly in the housing or the bulbs themselves have been badly made.

I have LED H7s in our 308 and didn't do any realigning. What make are your LED bulbs?...

These 4 battery terminal fuse links supply power to the cars main fuse boxes/bcm etc.. not surprised the vehicle was throwing up errors ( I suspect the blown link supplied the abs unit or a brake related element).

I did notice the bulbs in the headlamps did not work (although cluster lit up when I turned headlight switch , when I had the...

FIXED- UPDATE ******

checked all fuse boxes for blown fuse and all relays for loose connection/corrosion, etc
Considering the car was parked for two days, working fine before i parked it up, I could nnt see a water ingress issue being the concern.
Turns out it was a corroded FUSE LINK (one of 4) that are fixed to the +positive battery terminal in...

Can't confirm that, sorry. Daughter doesn't live with me and is away working at present.

Thanks will look as soon as daylight returns

Was anyone anyone able to run clip with 12 pin old Renault connection and engine running?

Hello, no cables fitted. Electronic motors on each rear called.

That did confuse me!

I disconnected the battery and this set the warning bleeps to come in at 130kmh. The car was originally from the German market, I think, so this maybe a stock safety feature. Has anyone any experience of this?

Thank you your co-operation !
Well, another key that wasn’t coded in the car. Coded after Tantalum replacement.
The ESR was 3.2. Now it's 1.6. No more flashing light.
The second key, which works with the button down, was not corrected by the tantalum replacement, i.e. the button must still be pressed down.
The fault in this key is on the copper...

Evening folks.

This is my first call for (newbie) help please.

My good lady wife drives a Y reg Renault Clio (2 door Alize). The electric window mech in the passenger door is shot. Our garage had a look yesterday and it really needs a new one.

Just signed up as a donor if a part number is available. I'll sort the VIN if needed.

I'm going to...

As you may see from my avatar I like the Renault Caravelle/Floride.

My interest is more from a window shopping point of view rather than being any practical help on things mechanical or bodywork on the Caravelle.

I know there is this Renault restorer in Lincolnshire UK who does an excellent job on renault restorations including producing a very...

Maybe the error just need's to be erased?

Could possibly be a blockage in the pick up pipe/filter in the tank. If you have access to a compressor try blowing air back down the feed pipe to the tank, if it is obstructed that should temporarily relieve it.

Had a similar problem with a 406 but only one headlight failed. I fitted a relay and energised it from the good light.

Peter

Hello Peter,

Did the same - well a sort of variation of it - I had a Relay I purchased - because they were cheap - in Kuala Lumpur of all places - quite a few years ago.

Fitted it all this morning - working like a...

Hi, and welcome to the forum.
Hopefully, someone here will be able to help.

PS Could you change your Location (in Profile, Edit) to a bit less specific? Birmingham UK would do fine.

What a cracking result normal service resumed :)

Hello,. Thanks a lot. I will do this tomorrow.
Thanks again

the old wreck is running again,

fuel pump had failed every thing else trying to avoid dropping the tank was a waste of time & effort

the main fuse box is krypton factor to take apart & put together

ECP don't stock a pump,

The reg plate was checked before ordering & £90 Bosch pump promptly came in the post, inlet & out where in the wrong places...

I purchased an identical type of radio from Ebay, (from a citan)

It arrived with the metal work all bashed about but I was surprised that is all worked so I tidied it up & fitted it in the dash.

However I now have a 16 plate kangoo with an R-Link DAB / Sat Nav radio & are going to do a test fit into the earlier van to see whats involved

Laminated steel head gaskets seem to be a lot more durable than the old copper ones.

Peter

Noi rush for me, but ill pop the door off and have a look, thanks.

Lol sorry I copied and pasted, as I posted on BBA reman. I am over the moon it works, even though the ECU was slightly different physically and number wise. I have the Roadbox on my blue one, it really makes the car very useful ie camping, and I think these Meganes are well under rated, I plan on keeping this one as a 2nd car forever and enjoying...

Hi, and :welc: to the Forum.

Clutch pedal removed, filter swapped, reinstalled pedal, drained gearbox, filled up with fresh oil until it gushed out the fill port..... Waiting for the gush to turn into a slow drip and replaced the fill port. New washer on the sump drain plug too. Car seems to run fine. Gears work fine. Downshifting is a lot smoother too! Blower is more...

Thanks again Neil, I had also found mention of DF196 and it appears to be a common indication of any incorrect electrical voltage detected in various sensor circuits. Thus it is likely to have been triggered as a subset of the DF080 fault which relates to the camshaft dephaser pulley. As far as I can work out the dephaser is a three legged rotary...

Cheers for that, I will look at the video and see.
I have already checked out the metal box out and mine has been repaired in the past by a previous keeper. I believe it was done at Renault.
Thanks again

No, the engine fuseboxes are a complete unit - they contain electronic cards (pre-programmed) and are not intended to be switched out - they are incorporated into the unit circuitry as a whole and a generally 'non-serviceable'.
