I think I'm right in saying that you've opened the door too quickly, you should wait for the sensor to recognise your hand in the gap in the handle before waiting 1 second and pulling the handle. Can't tell you why it's there though...

That's awful!! Glad you managed to get hold of a second hand one. Being in France on holiday I didn't have the time to try source a used one, I wish I had been in the UK but it wasn't to be! All the best with your newer gearbox and clutch. I'm still very hesitant driving on a daily basis. Need...

£2968 approximately, with RUK paying £1534. A hefty bill nonetheless!!

After a long long time of other problems involving other aspects of my car it's healthy again and now running better than it ever has thank god! Thank you to all who helped or gave advice it's very much appreciated. Renault UK offered to cover half of all my costs incurred after my breakdown in...

Thanks Matt, I'd really appreciate it. I'll PM you now. I have no idea what they did. At the time I was staying in a hotel away from the Garage and relied on the RAC being in daily contact with the Garage as I cant speak french one bit. Interesting to know, maybe you're both right that...

I'd really appreciate that Woody I'll PM you for it, spoke to them today and building up a dossier to send them. Thanks Dan, That sounds awful! Glad you managed to get most of the costs covered! I've always had mine serviced at a Renault Dealership just in case anything did happen so...

Thanks foxy, you're always a world of knowledge. I think it was a bit of the clutch that went through, they replaced the clutch and gearbox and yes a new engine block too. It was extremely difficult to discuss with them what went wrong and what to do about it (I'm not fluent in french) but...

Thanks for all the concern. I only remember on a couple of occasions have a crunch from 2nd to 3rd in the past but in France there were no strange noises at all, I was doing 110kmph (the national speed limit) in 6th gear, came off at the junction let the engine braking take me down to 2k rpm and...

Hi to all, great to see the site back up and running!! Sorry you had so much hassle trying to solve the issue. I would really appreciate anyone who has been in contact with Reanult UK about Gearbox issues to add to this thread the details (dates etc if possible) about what was wrong and what...

Wow never realised how Northern biased this forum is :p even us Midlander's are swamped by your presence!! (Not necessarily a bad thing haha)

Just too god damn good, or a fix? All I can say is the end bit of this video is my response to you winning Paul ;) (NSFW!!!!)..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVSXgU6HLHw&feature=related In all honesty it was a great pic!!!

Voted but can't help much more sorry Paul :(

Welcome along, hopefully the site will come in handy :)

Stunning, that's some dedication to the cause! What does the speed camera sticker say I couldn't zoom without it blurring?!

Thanks Jase, you come up trumps as usual, I knew there were a few members online and trust the forum! Both are 30 mins away from his halls so should be ok, will get him to give them a ring. If anyone knows of any closer I'd still like to know :)

My friend who lives in halls in Sheffield has just phoned to say his clutch has gone in his Fiat Stilo, and needs to find a decent local garage not wanting to get ripped off. The clutch is slipping so it's probably only got a couple of miles left. Can anyone recommend anywhere in Sheffield...

Only just seen this Roy, so sorry to hear it. As much as not driving will be a pain your health is the most important thing in my eyes. Have you had any more thoughts? All the best.
