The recommended interval is 115,000 kilometres about 72,000 miles. On my original 1986 Espace it said that the life of the cambelt was the same as the engine. The first one lasted just over 130,000 miles and only failed because of oil contamination. Subsequently the recommendation was changed to 72,624 miles (a somewhat over-zealous conversion I suspect). The engine went on to cover 336,000 miles and was running superbly when I finally got rid of the car after 16 years.

How do you reset the key fob on a Renault espace after changing the batteries in key fob?

What you need to do is press the internal central locking switch
on the roof panel (in front of the rear view mirror) for about 10
seconds until you hear 2 very distinct clunks in the doors. Then
point the key upwards towards the sensor and press the key button
twice......Your central locking should now be reset. This worked
for me

How do you know if your cam belt needs changing?

You cannot know by looking at it. This is why the belt is
changed at a set mileage as listed in your owners manual. You
change it when your vehicle reaches that mileage. You did not list
make, model, & year so I cannot tell you the mileage at which
it should be changed. Warning: If your engine is an
interference engine and the belt breaks you will have serious
engine damage.

What is yellow leaver between front seats under mat in Renault espace?

The handle is there to release the electric parking brake if it
fails to release and sticks on. Lift the flap in the floor panel
and pull the handle upwards, this should release the parking
brake.
You can then Drive the vehicle but note NO HANDBRAKE to park
leave in gear with foot brake on before turning off the ignition.
Otherwise you will have a runaway!!!
Oh estimated cost to reset it all £500.00 or
spondooolics!!!!!!
