This happened to my old FF182, took it to renault and they said it was something to do with the brake or accelerator pedal, took them about 5 mins to sort out.

This does seem a very common fault on 182s :?

 

[Dico]

ill have a better look over everything tomorrow see if i can see anything thats come loose etc..you say its a common fault though!? hmmm :roll:

 

[Cue]

think there's two or three people reported this fault in the last month or so: either O2 sensor or something to do with a brake switch from memory.

 

[Dico]

nice one cue.. any idea where this is? wonder if its anything to do with the switch on the brake peddle?

 

[Cue]

do a search under engine AND fault - it's only a month or so back that we had the thread up.

 

[Dico]

nice one. Makes some interesting reading that... ill have a play with that switch and see what happens. :-k

Definately the same problem that I had about 3 weeks ago, £27 fitted for a new switch on the brake pedal Job Done!

 

[Dico]

Sorted :lol: Took the switch out from on the brake peddle...fully pulled the piston out then refitted as i held the brake peddle down. basically allowing it reset itself..... problem fixed! (tup) \/

I had this problem although after turning the engine off and coming back to it a hour later the lights didn't come on.

Took it local dealers and they said it needed a new brake pedal switch. ordered and arrived the same day, fitted and i had the car back. All done under warranty!

I dont trust renault as far as i can spit, hence £27

I'm surprised it wasn't done under warranty! :?
