Hi mate,
Been reading some posts about cambelt changes, and saw your mentioned RenTech in portsmouth?
Did you get yours done there? Trying to find a good garage in the area and wanted to know what they were like?
Cheers

When i bought my car the front tyres were pretty new, it had done 19,000 miles. Its now on 32,000 and theres still a good 4mm on them.
Should get 15k out of them easily. Think they are Avons on the front.
Coming home the other night i hit a badger than ran across the road. It ran infront of me so i braked and went behind it but it decided to turn back into my path.
There was a big bang, i checked the car and the bumper is fine but i looked underneath and the undertray is cracked and the bit...
the trip computer says 34.5mpg on mine at the moment
I normally fill up when it's just above the red and normally do about 380miles between fill ups
My way to work is mainly country rounds, so lots of 50/60mph which is good for mpg
i get the knock from behind the pedals when its really cold and i lift off the throttle. when the engines warmed up for a few mins you cant hear anything
while the car was serviced i asked them to investigate and they said theres some weakness in the gear box stabliser bar i think. about £80...
My airbag light came on last thursday, it started by flicking on and off every few mins but now its just constantly on
I've heard it could be the connections under the seat?
The cars booked in for service and mot next tuesday so could just wait till then but thought if i could fix it...
I'll drag them out to the car when i drop it off then lol
Its the right sound for a leaf but i dont think it would be as surely it would of moved or broken up by now.
My heater/interior fan makes an annoying ticking noise, its more noticeable on speed 1 or 2 as its quieter
Anyone had a similar problem and fixed it?
Was thinking of asking the dealer to look at it when it has a service in a few months
Any help is welcome
First thing in the morning when the engine is cold and i lift off the throttle i heard clunk/knock coming from the behind the pedals? More noticeable in 1st/2nd/3rd gears i guess as theres more engine breaking?
Anyone else had a similar problem? you find out what it was?
Any help is welcome
from what renault just told me there is a little hole near the boot lock which you need to stick a pen or screwdriver in to manually release the boot from the inside. (he said he'd send me a diagram or photo)
He said it should start with the boot open, but doesnt it make a beeping noise? hope...
Got home tonight and tried to lock the car but it wouldnt lock.
The problem is that it thinks the boot is still open (shows on the dashboard) so when you lock it it unlocks straight away. However the boot wont open, i hear it trying to open when i press the boot button when it stays shut...
its the cream c-pillar panel in the corner just above the boot light. when i press hard against that it stops
Just got to find a way of stopping it without me holding it. Wierd how its started and the other side is ok
