@GtirHil I ended up replacing the clutch last week at 214,880 miles.
Sash’s New Learner Car thread
It’s solved my ‘Clutch 2 Torque Error’ code even though on initial inspection the friction plates don’t look excessively worn but something wasn’t happy inside the pack.
Those that have driven both all say the Clio is their preferred choice 😎
In all honesty I think Moe is easier to drive than the 5. I like the CarPlay and Google maps in the 5 and the speakers are marginally better and the dash board is great for demoing bay parking 🤣 but all the ADAS 💩 can get...
Many monies. I was lucky to get a 3% off voucher code 🙌🏼
I haven't totalled the other bills yet, not sure I want to! Lol at this point RPD have had a fair whack of my money too 🙈🤣
Guess I should update this thread 😎
Shortly after the post before this one I parked the 5 up and went back to the trusty Clio (Moe) for daily duties. Despite basically doubling my expenses the charging situation was killing me mentally.
The 5 basically didn’t turn a wheel for 9 months until...
When I replaced all 4 of mine I did genuine fronts and SKF (I think) rears.
Probably due for replacement again soon as they were done at 132k and now being over 240k they’re probably gonna start getting noisy again!
My AC was cool for about 15 mins (including 5 mins of idling) but then went warm when I turned off the dual carriageway. Low pressure side pipe got hot where it was cool (not freezing though) when I checked during the idling time.
Sat engine off for 30 mins air cool on start up and maintained...
Yep, exactly that. It was very strange. Both working absolutely fine in original vehicles!
We use standalone satnavs as it’s the same as the ones used on test and also can program and record specific routes.
For general personal use I just use my phone and Google.
My friend Claire and I swapped cars (Claire has a 23 reg Puma hybrid) to do mock tests today and each took our own sat nav (mines a TomTom start 52 and hers is also a TomTom but a slightly later model I think?).
I plugged mine into the USB socket in Claire’s car (the same one she uses with her...
The early cars (which mine is) tend to suffer but the later ones I think are slightly less affected but still a potential issue. It’s a capacitor problem that usually plagues them iirc.
Current mileage is 239,497 let that help you decide.
Engine oil - change it every 5-10k. I do 5k now the mileage is high but did 10k intervals up to 100k.
Gearbox is sound. TCM has been replaced. Gearbox oil change every 60k.
Clutches are still original although suspect on their last...
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.
