what about when your oil turns to sludge and the engine seizes up.dealers dont do warranty work now unless you have an up to date service record(service book or on there computer records)

have you took out the old filter and have you got rid of the silencer box as well.

will reduce acceleration slightly and might make the ride a bit harder.if you fit them i would lower it because ive seen them at work with 17s on and when there not lowered some wheel designs make them look like a monster truck.if i was you id keep to 16s and drop it on its arse.

the alarm is cobra or sigma.depending how old it is it will be a renault immobiliser.

the only renault coolant you can now buy is type d.the type c was discontinued because it used to corrode the inside of your engine.stick to the gen renault coolant some of the cheaper brands can corrode the inside of your engine as well(eats away at your core plugs etc)

if theres no leaks maybe there is an internal problem with the pump.

cable about £30.there not to bad to change just got to get the car jacked up(the cable clips onto the back of the subframe)

have you pulled of one of the manifold breather pipes by accident?

have you pulled out the fuses and made sure there ok.have you trapped any wires fitting the stereo?

i would have thought there would be some form of renault contribution apllicable due to its low mileage.

1st years warranty everything is covered.2nd/3rd year everything apart from interior rattles,rain water leaks,exhausts and wear and tear items like clutch linings,brake pads etc.If a clutch or something goes prematurley there is a good chance renault would pay anyway or at least give you a...

a starter moter is a dead easy job to change on a 1.2 16v.shouldnt take them more than 30mins so if you kick up a stink they might do it there and then.if its just the terminal then a 10minute job.if your immobiliser light goes out then thats ok.good luck!

is your idle speed ok in general?do your brakes feel ok?is there any unusual hissing sounds from the drivers footwell area? check-speedo cable sensor(instrument panel end),idle stepper moter operation,has the stepper moter got the additional signal amplifier on it-a small black unit plugged in...

the pump/moter just sits in a bracket so you would just have to bolt it on the inner wing somewhere(it bolts to the gearbox in a 1.9d but there will be no threaded holes in your 5 box to bolt it on this way).it is simple to wire up,basically needs a relay,earth,ing feed and a wire from the oil...

on most of the new renaults you cant fit a boost valve due to the standard valve is part of your tank sender unit.the injection rail only has a feed and not a return so no where to tap in the boost valve.on some of the models you could fit an earlier vehicles fuel rail,pipes and sender unit to...

what does your immobiliser light do?if there is a click when you turn the ing key to the start position then it sounds like the uch is switching so probably a faulty starter moter or starter solenoid terminal(poor connection).under warranty though isnt it?

About 750 miles.after that your warranty may be affected.

you could use the rack and pas pump of a old 1.9deisal.although its a hydraulic system the pump is driven by an electric moter and not by a belt off the engine.

where you from?

are you sure you know which trim i mean.the one covering the inner sill near the passenger seat.the valve is below where your passenger seat belt reel bolts on.

the recalls for michelin tyres and you replace them with continentals.sounds like she run over something on the road.

the particles of cat could potentially block the exhaust silencers up and cause a significant decrease in power.in some cases it can cause the engine to cut out due to the restiction in the exhaust causes it to choke itself up.

has it got a dash light reostat(brightness adjuster switch)

i didnt say it left it 4 turns loose just didnt nip it up fully and the vibrations of the car have made it come loose and start to wind out.the robot must have had a good session on the battery acid the night before(that stuff would give you a hangover!).

its only a small plastic part so should cost hardly anything.you can open them up if you want to see if you can free the ball bearing off.

sounds like the one way ball valve in the washer jet pipe is stuck.its behind the interior trim on the n/s b pillar/inner sill trim.its a little white pipe joiner with a ball bearing in it.the ball bearing sometimes gets stuck.

youve got 3 years warranty so even if it had damaged anything it would have been picked up in the 3 years im sure.sounds like you were a bit unlucky there.the production line robot obviously didnt tighten up the union enough and its worked loose.least the dealers been helpful enough though.

if its the clutch and its only lasted that long then it should be warranty.probably the centre plate has broken all the linings have come un-attached either way its not wear and tear after 3 months.go and kick up a stink!

they could be brighter just down to the fact they are new.the bulbs are cheap enough so change them all.

either your oil pressure switch or maybe the knock sensor.get it checked out.
