Did you guys use a spanner to unscrew the nut? Looking at mine I can't see enough room to use a spanner. Any advice? i seem to have fluid in the middle of the engine below the black pipe. Not sure if its the switch or the pipe leaking. Have to top up small amounts every month. Used 500ml in...

Hi. I see this is a common problem. I noticed my fluid was very low the other day and the engine was making grinding noises. I popped to halfords for some top up fluid and a stop leak solution which was yesterday. I checked the level today and it has gone down a bit. Renault did say I...

Out of interest - how much was the above? Past 2 years I have spent £1800 on mine. Cam & Aux belts, Service, 2x MOTs, Discs and Pads all round and Ktech exhaust. I love my car but I feel your pain, they cost a few quid to keep running. (my mileage is 32k / Oct 2003 reg) Cheers

Ok I will show them the advisory notice. What about the RBT service brake efficiency @ 49% ? any ideas what this is? Not seen this before. Thanks

This is Renault main dealer, surely they are aware of this issue. I have contacted Renault head office as it is becoming annoying having to go through this every year! There is no mot statement. It is an advisory notice that some cars back brakes do not do much. The tester should take this...

Hi guys. I am aware of the above issue when Cups have MOTs. I only normally get problems when I use a local garage hence why I take it to main dealer. The main dealer franchise has moved in my town and has new owners. I took my Cup in last week and they advised me to replace all...
