Hi all a little issue my rear caliper bleed nipple has seized in and brought the threads out with it so i now need a new passenger side caliper. I was wondering will all rear calipers from the same era fit or do they need to be 197 ones? also will megane 225 or rs250 ones fit? Thanks for...

well turns out there was, in the german sevice managers words 'a blown fuse/relay in the front of engine area' so no idea where it was exactly but it is now fixed. thank god bloody french

the code shows 'abnormal computer voltage` as said before and the battery alternator and earthing straps are ok. that is why i dont know where it go next.

well i have fitted the new alternator and had the faults cleared but as soon as i go over 10mph boom there back on again. i have checked the 2 earth straps and they are secure, its really annoying now and turning into a money pit. anyone ideas bearing in mind these faults appeared only after i...

will see what happens when i clear the codes on monday fingers crossed

hope not after all that lol. i checked the earth straps from the battery and they were secure surely there would be other faults if it was a earth strap, guess i will see on monday when i try to clear the faults.

well i have replaced the alternator today and shows 14.24v at the battery at 4000rpm on the fluke so hopefully will be sorted just need to get the faults removed on monday when the garage opens up. dont know what else it could be as the diagnostics was reading 'computer, abnormal voltage'?

it was on the diagnostics machine via the obd plug. i did see it on the machine myself and the fault reader read 'computer voltage abnormal'

i have been to the bosch auto electricians here and they say it is the alternator causing the fault it charges at 14.6 volts but then when the revs increase slightly it goes to 15 volt does this sound right.

they said they could find a fault and wanted more time which means more money, so i have the car back and taking it the the Bosch service center for a second opinion.

hi quick update i have the car back now and it runs fine and seems better than before. however they were not able to find the fault that is bringing all the lights on (ESP, ABS, SERVICE,STOP, and hand brake warning) i believe this to be a separate problem as they only appeared after i left the...

i drove it home and they were still on. i did connect a handheld diagnostics and that came up with a fault under the abs saying- computer voltage abnormal. when i cleared this fault it was ok until turned it off locked it and then restarted it when they all came back on again. i just hope it...

i have been having a think and maybe it was my fault if it is the pump as i have ran it in the red on fuel gauge a couple of times recently. i have a issue with getting a second independent opinion as i am in germany and dont know the local garages if there even is any. is it right that the abs...

thanks for the replay it has done 49k i must also say i am in germany(in the army), forgot before sorry, i had the recovery out and it wouldnt start with his booster pack on and yesterday it ran fine all day started and turned off quite few times. also the first time it wouldnt start i must have...

a little update i refitted the battery and the car started but with lots of warning lights, service, STOP, abs, esp and hand brake lights on also on the message screen it shows esp desactivated and the braking fault. it was driving with all these faults on so i too it home and then this morning...
