starting

Yes, but I found that it can struggle if you start the car when the air-con is set to max.
id say maybe 1 out of 8 attempts it wont start first time. My alarm is also nackered. It beeps 3 times sometimes and doesnt alarm. Someone on cliosport i think said it was something to do with some ignition not turning off so alarm doesnt alarm.
I left my windows down the other day and car unlocked for 5ish hours. Went to lock it and it beeped 3 times. So it cant be due to some ignition thing. Im not going dealers thou

Mine has just started not starting properly over the last week. It's only when I go to start her for the first time each day, but it is a problem every day.
Not sure if I will take it back to the dealers just yet, may wait to see if the problem solves itself or gets worse. If it does not get worse then I will just get it checked out when the first service is due...

write to UK MD, shouldn't be too hard to get his name. Say your expecting a quick reply and failure to comply will result in a barrage of letters to magazines, newspapers and renault themselves about shite build quility.
I'd expect a result fairly quickly.

Why do you want us to phone them? Im only taking the trophy in if it wont move in the morning. I know what dealers are like and cant be arsed to get the car backwith a big scratch on it or whatever else they think of doing lol
Mine did it for the first time today, I was really surprised, it turned over then just died, I was parked on my drive which is a 1 in 4 gradient, nose up, I don't know if this would affect it but I don't normally park there. No air con/fan and I twisted the key properly.
I won't be going near a Renault garage unless the engine falls out, I will be getting mine serviced at an authorised specialist. Besides I think having Rentech on your service history is more valuable than a dealer service to anyone in the know, and Trophy's don't tend to go to muppets.

mine has also been doing this over the last 2 weeks - not every morning but i'd say out of 14 days it has done it perhaps 5 or 6 times. I too have no aircon/fan on at the time of turning the key.
I have found that turning the key to the second position (where all the dashboard lights come on), giving it about 30-45 seconds and then turning the key to start the car has helped it start first time though :?

I've had this many times, I took the car back to Renault the other day, they ran a diagnostic check and found nothing wrong.
It always happens when i'm leaving work so I think its when you park on a gradient, at home it's flat and at work its about 10% in some places.
I'll try this and report back
