The pedal def feels like its different so can be pushing air maybe? Yep that looks like the cause. Check any hose ferrules and joints for leaks, and that the bleed nipple is snugged up before you condemn the slave. 00833827 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And was going to try bleeding the clutch and then topping up fluid first to see if it comes back. It should do at least temporarily. But at least we know the issue and area now and since its not the clutch it has probably saved the car. Thanks all. Will keep you updated. mercedade and dozeydustman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtriple Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Washed the car today as, miracles of miracles, it WAS NOT FUCKING RAINING! The bright orange thing in the sky was floating about but doing sweet f.a. in the 'warming the world up' stakes. It was a tad fekkin freezing and only a total fuckwit would go out and wash his car... oh. But, the ghost thieves have been about again: I had a brand new and unopened litre bottle of wash and wax which I intended to use, but, still unopened it was completely empty! More worrying was the simple fact that there is no trace anywhere of any leakage having occured... where could it have gone? Has Chester developed yet another worrying habit? Went to Halfords, bought another bottle of Triplewax 'wash and shine' I hope this one lasts longer. also bought a clay bar and some 'lube' (oo-eer Missus!) but I don't know if I'm going to bother. Maybe I'll wait until Busman comes round next and get him to do it - he owes me a favour. No idea what he owes me a favour for.... I can try Also cut off my long, flowing locks back to a grade 4 and Hoovered! That makes about 3 times in the last month I have hoovered, don't want to start that lark as new habit! busmansholiday, RayMK and puddlethumper 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what's this? 4 Reno Influenzas in 5 minutes? That's who bought them all. I don't think they were ever imported to the UK,but are fairly common here,they are quite attractive, especially in the higher trim levels.They are reasonably popular as taxis.

artdjones Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 It wouldn't be surprising if a few got to the UK,as they are made in rhd,and wouldn't be much of a risk for an Irish resident to bring with them if they moved over.They were built in Turkey.There is a saloon Mégane lV as well,but it is called a Mégane Grand Coupé rather than being given a separate model name.l wouldn't mind one myself in a few years.

Tayne Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 According to HML there are 61 electric Fluences in the UK and 1 diesel. If you had that single UK registered diesel Fleunce you could show up and win any of those rare car shows and look down your nose at anyone in Italian exotica. yes oui si 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 The one I know of is always parked in the same place, probably reflecting the above. Also seems to belong to someone without a driveway....(how do they charge it I wonder). They've had it a few years, it's in Faversham that has no public chargers (still - town of 30,000 odd souls) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 50 minutes ago, Tayne said: No rapid charging, crap range and a small boot. Also you have to rent the batteries from Renault. I had a look at the Fluence which was on eBay recently - seller said he was on the cheapest lease deal, which is £77 a month for 6K miles a year. I bashed some numbers into my calculator and that makes it roughly equivalent to a diesel car averaging 36mpg - and that's before you've taken into account the cost of the electric to charge the thing. With all the other limitations it has I can see absolutely no reason why anybody would want to own one. BorniteIdentity and egg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
