    Unsolicited revving

    After setting off from cold and coming to a halt at junction,instead of steady tick over it revs to about 1500 without any throttle input.Did it a couple of times only -it's never done it before and it was very cold and behaved itself once warmed up. Anything to worry about?- normally I wait...

    Exhaust overrun bang

    Ok - fair enough I'll just be sure not to do it in front of our near neighbour who's a traffic cop!

    Exhaust overrun bang

    I've just driven my 197 very swiftly for the first time since I had a remap.(I honestly don't know if it did it before as I bought it fairly recently.) Booting it up to 6k in second and braking suddenly still in gear at about 2k causes an enormous bang not just a slight pop. You're all going...

    Outside temperature sensor

    Got garage to replace.Unfortunately the cheap £9.99 off eBay shows 8C lower! Probably have to buy Renault part unless anyone knows a way to re calibrate this . Does A/C rely on this reading ?

    Outside temperature sensor

    Is it possible to change the sensor by just removing the black front cover of the wing mirror or do I have to take off the glass first? I have no reading at all on the screen -could there be another problem other than a faulty sensor?

    Wiper blade replacement

    Wiper ARMS -that's easy! Anyway had to smash both the plastic clips on the blades and a good force of screwdriver on the metal arm to get them off . The new Bosch blades just fitted perfectly ,very easily and do (as usual) a superb job.

    Ambient air temperature guage

    Not worked since I bought it -may have been disturbed when having mirrors resprayed before I collected -can't say if they were working when I tested it. Is it an easy job to replace or is the sensor an integral part of the mirror ? Could it also be a faulty display as various functions are a...

    Ambient air temperature guage

    Yes the wing mirrors were resprayed before I bought the car. Does the reading affect the engine running? What sensor should be under the front bumper then? Finally is the display automatic or could it have been disabled?

    Ambient air temperature guage

    I don't have any temperature display on central display and my garage said that there was a sensor missing under front bumper,so I assumed that related to the temperature. I didn't see what he was describing so am in the dark. If the temperature display doesn't effect the running of the car...

    Ambient air temperature guage

    My mechanic says that the Air temperature gauge under the front bumper is missing. That in itself doesn't concern me ,but is the running of the engine dependant on the reading of this sensor,or is it just for internal display? Other than Renault ,where can I purchase one?

    Wiper blade replacement

    I know this is very very basic and I don't usually have a problem with any car but I can't get the blades to move at all. I assume that the two lugs are depressed (a bit like me today!) and that should release the metal blade?

    Update on tailgate rust. Renault responded very quickly and arranged their agent body shop to view. The body shop said that the tailgate had been repaired previously and I could see that many of the internal fixings had been poorly refitted and that the inside of the tailgate was as shiney as...
