warning

Hi, has anyone got any pointers on what I may need to look out for since the car is now in its mid years, I've owned my 440 since Sept 2006, 44k miles, always looked after by a renault dealer, all standard apart from the footwell mats, next big thing will be the cam & aux belts to do next...

when i'm driving my trophy i get battery light and stop light flashing the faster i go it flickers quicker? any ideas ppls :( :shock:

HI all, The other day I started my car and the engine warning light came on, I have got an ecu reader so plugged it in and came up with the code: P0500 After a quick look on the internet i found this to be the vehicle speed sensor. Now the speedo is working fine, i have got a digital speedo...

After having started this topic: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7506 about the Trophys ESP + SERV lights coming on together (not serv + airbag like most get), i am wondering if that guy in 2006 was right that when these lights come on the T needs a new steering rack? Hope not... What sort of symptoms...

Yes tread shuffle not truffle shuffle! :lol: Well my question is, is there such a thing? If so what does it mean! I ask because had the Trophy booked in yesterday as im noticing small knocking noise when moving the steering wheel ever so slightly from side to side! You can also feel it...

Hi I will change my steering wheel with a new one (Toora competitione "pole"). I would like also to ask if there is a guide with pictures about how to remove the steering wheel with the Airbag, how to fix the resistence (how many ohms?) to switch off the warning light on the dash board. if...

Just ordered a Clip tool for the renaults, should enable me to disable the airbags completely without messing about with resistors :) It's the proper job and not one of those £30 jobs everyone's selling, according to the seller it's the full monty and works the same as the genuine renault set...

changed discs and pads all round last week and today i was parked on a slope and my abs, sercice and traction control light came on? went off when i drove off!!! any ideas? ta

Has anyone experienced this type of issue? Started the T this morning and rather than waiting for the electronic choke to stop I just drove off. 20 yards later it felt like the engine was a little starved of fuel. Put my foot down and not much happened. The engine wasn't so starved of fuel...

Was just on my way to work the other day and the SERV and Traction control light came on?? also something esle was lite up but was more focused on the SERV lite. I wasn't driving fast, once I pulled up into work turned the car off - I turned it back on again and the light was out?! :? any...

my engine warning light has poped on my dash again and last time cost me £30 to remove it. ive seen on k tech website they have a code reader there you can buy for the clio, and you can remove the light yourself. its done this now twice in 9 months so anybody know about this code reader and are...

One of the small steel brackets holding the ECU in place has cracked. Is there a fix? Its a Group N ECU which I got from GDI a few years ago, should I just have a word with them? Thanks for any help.

Use this to post up vandalised trophys - IF I can find them then the silver ones, striped ones and the one with the tow bar will be in here.

Well, seeing as the Trophy is very much a keeper I thought I'd start a pictures thread. That way I can keep them all together without starting different threads everytime I wanted to add new pics! :lol: Here are a few recent photos to get the ball rolling, click to enlarge...

I used to have a red Fiat Coupe 20VT a few years back. Really fun little thing, didn't handle well but looked good and went pretty quick. BUT: it turned completely pink over two years as the pigment in the paint oxidised (or whatever it does). It was an R-reg and this was in 2002. So I'm...

Here are some photos from Rebel's first outing of 2009 - a run around the Brecon area, South Wales (mixed cars/marques). Despite the poor conditions of late we were blessed with pretty good weather given the time of year. For the majority of the run it was quite pleasant (if a little wet in...

Hello. This morning i turned on my 182 and drove away. Then i noticed a light on the dash in the middle under the petrol light. It was a rectangle with wiggly likes in it from left to right and same orange as the petrol light. The engine had very limited power (limited to under 3000 revs). I...

Hi, I was driving to work this morning and the service light on my Trophy has just come on. It isn’t actually due for a service for another 2000 miles (35,000) so I’m a bit unsure why it has come on!? Is this something I need to get looked at? Or is the service light something that just...

Sometimes when i go to lock the car, it keeps bleeping........ yes i know normally it mean you havent shut the door properly but i have!! & its not the batteries!?? Another thing, sometimes when driving and i take my foot off the gas pedal it keeps going to hit limiter, and have to turn the car...

Mine lit up about a month ago and i finally got it sorted yesterday. This light (orange, engine shaped located bottom right of the dash display) can mean any number of things but on the Clio is generally a sign that the O2 sensor has gone phut. (do a search on any forum and you will find dozens...

Are synthetics better? The basic benefits are as follows: Extended oil drain periods Better wear protection and therefore extended engine life Most synthetics give better MPG They flow better when cold and are more thermally stable when hot Esters are surface-active meaning a thin layer...

Wheels are as new, lovingly polished even on the inside. Tyres are 60% worn Kumho V70A soft - the only make available in the correct size. Warning, they are brilliant in the wet, but not in standing water (only have 4mm tread when new)- also being soft they pick up every little bit of grit and...

Just left my car with a renault service centre - oil and stop lights have been coming on intermittently. Oil isn't low, and I have never let it get low. They have said that they need the car maybe for up to a day to properly diagnose, and said it could potentially be a big problem and I...
