Change the bulbs.
Had this on my Megane. Couldn’t get to the bottom of it, so changed the brake light bulb and Voila! Fixed.
The bulb itself looked absolutely fine which is why I didn’t change it from the off.
Mine either goes off if the battery voltage dips a bit low or there’s a spider inside 🙈
More often than not it’s the battery. It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s dud.
You can change the alternator without draining the AC fyi. I’ve done it.
You’re right.
Mine started to fail in summer but only when the ambient temperature reached over 28° which being England didn’t happen very consistently being that it worked absolutely fine in the cooler temps meant it can’t have been the clutch that almost everyone told me it was!
Yes, it’s been a learner car for 8 years now. Still on original everything engine and gearbox wise apart from the TCM. This was replaced 4 years ago at 140,000 miles. It took a fair while to diagnose properly as no one else had really experienced this issue yet!
Those that fire the parts cannon...
4 hours to fit a TCM… are they including all their tea and lunch breaks in that time..?
I’m sure mine only took about 2.5 and that was with 2 separate programmings as the first one didn’t work.
Not that it helps you but my car is still on its original clutches at 237,600 miles. Unless it’s...
@Brigsy
My brother has a query, can you or anyone else help?
“Do any of your crew know if the glow plugs on the 80DCI mk2 Clio should be 0.5ohm or 0.9ohm, or if it matters?
I think I had an intermittent shorting glow plug that was drawing alot of current but there is a mix of both installed!”
I don’t want to burst your bubble but everyone I know who’s bought a Chinese unit has not had a good experience with them despite apparently being the correct part 🤔
@Adey. Is your man to talk to. He’s fitted a chinesium TCM iirc!
If I watch anything via the dedicated app I.e IPlayer, itvx, channel 5 etc they work fine. It’s if I use the ‘Guide’ to watch anything I get HUTH over the top of whatever program Im watching.
I do have HUTH as a ‘favourite’ along with a couple of other channels but HUTH seems to be the...
I’m getting 200 miles absolute max from a full charge in summer.
My home charging situation has changed and I no longer have access to a charger overnight. So I’m now faced with going to my local Tesco ~1 mile each way and plugging in for the maximum 3 hours their carpark allows and charging...
I loved the test drive of the A290 for a one off fun spin and based off that I’d probably get one but then being exactly the same situation as I am now 😕.
I really want to love it, but I can’t. I love the way it looks just can’t fall in love with how it is without an engine or gears. The charging and the issues that brings along with being limited on mileage, etc I think has really taken the shine off of it for me.
I love that everyone else loves...
I got the R5 because the Clio needs a bit of TLC.
So at the moment I’m not using the Clio for lessons, but I aim to get back to using it soon.
One of the things I wanted to do was get the RSTuning map removed, so I dropped it off at Engine Dynamics for Andy to work his magic.
Must say it...
