Renault Espace

It is called 'snow mode'. If you select the button, the auto gearbox selects 2nd gear to save wheelspin on snow/ice from a standing start. It does the same thing as starting off in 2nd gear in a manual gearbox. Hope this clarifies it.

the fusebox is found on the passenger side floor,under the mat,you need a screwdriver to gain access in my 1996 (uk N plate), it's in the top of the glovebox.. To add to the answer above, there are five different sets of fuses on the Mk 2 Espace. Mine is also on an N plate. There is the main fuse board which is clipped in the top of the glove compartment. This has a circuit board carrying a number of fuses and relays. Exactly what is installed will vary with the model and the equipment installed. There is also another bank of fuses and relays above and to the left of the glove compartment accessable over the top side of the glove box. Very difficult to get to without stripping the glove compatment out. There are three sets of fuses under the bonnet. One set under the engine managment computer on the off-side of the engine bay. This carries the fuse for the horns and the air compresor if air horns are fitted. On the nearside there are two fuses boxes one at the top which carries a number of fused relays and a bank of mini blade fuses and three maxi blade fuses ( A 50 Amp and two 30 Amp) The main cooling fans for the radiator are protected by these fuses. The smaller bank carries two fuses for two of the heater fan settings. The final fuse box is lower down on the side wall of the engine bay below the holder for the Jack and hidden behind the air cleaner. Another job to get to that one as the air cleaner has to be removed to open it.

You can't reset the parking light - It shows you have a fault at that time - Cure the fault and the light will go out - I have a problem with mine - I have an intermittent fault the light only comes on when the parking brake is faulty - most of the time the lights out

17mm socket, will probably need hammering on as plastic stops full connection, onto track rod end nut. Once nut has been removed use a bought V shaped ball joint seperator a couple of good whacks will separate it, you can but a screw type seperator if you don't want to risk damage to the joint rubber. Once separated screw off joint from track rod, measure the distance on thread before removal so refitting will bring the tracking somewhere near. Get tracking checked when finished.Good luck Pete

What worked for my Espace IV was:

With keycard in and engine off:

Push the button on the end of the control stalk until the 'Service now due' shows in the display.

Push and hold the button. After a while the 'Service now due' starts to flash. Keep the button held in. After a while the display changes to 'Service in 18,000 miles' and flashes. At this point let go of the button. Job done.

You dont! If is on and the key will not work you need the key reprograming. Your local dealer will do it

They are british engineering, stands for Fix Or Repair Daily

On steering column directly below steering wheel. Behind a plastic cover.

Turn ignition to 'accessories' (not 'ignition on'), then press the trip computer button for about a second, and release. The display should flash 'km/h / mph'. Press the 'M' of the hours and minutes clock adjustment, at the left of the display, to select the speedo reading you want.

how do you replace the rear springs on a renault espace

when mine stuck, i climbed into the back removed the trim and manually pulled the release levers

I have a 2001 2ltr Expression and it has a timing belt.

It's a pretty effective immobiliser. What happens is the immobiliser unit sends a coded message to the engine management computer, and without it, it's a no-go situation. There's no amount of re-wiring going to bypass the thing, although I have seen a couple of websites which offer to 'unlock' your immobiliser so that it permanenly sends to correct code, without the need to see a keyfob again. Probably best to try a Google.

Relatively straight forward as long as you have the right tools. All details below refer to a 2.2 dci.

1) The oil capacity for a 2.2 dci is approx 6.3 litres so you will need a large enough container for the oil change. Because of the height underneath of the vehicle and my drive has a download slope, I use caravan ramps to level up and create more room underneath. Much easier working from under the vehicle.

2) You will need an oil plug socket and an oil filter wrench (Filter is a cartridge type). Wrench is for the cover (fluted design). Check diamater and number of flutes.

3) Remove the lower engine tray

4) Across the front is a stabilser bar, undo the two bolts, one each side and remove bar.

5) Underneath the oil filter housing are some hoses. Follow them back, they go back behind the engine sump and gearbox and you should find a bracket held with a hex bolt. Undo the bolt, loosen the bracket and it should free up the hoses under the oil filter housing.

6) You now have sufficient room to get the oil filter wrench onto the cover and turn using a ratchet / socket wrench. And you shouldn't get oil over the hoses either.

7) Once the oil is drained from the sump and oil filter housing, replace the oil filter cartridge. The new item should come with a replacement o-ring which goes on the cover. The oil filter cartridge only goes in one way - the clips on the cartridge fit into the cover.

8) Tighten up the oil filter cover and sump plug to the correct torque settings and now ready to refill with oil. Check oil grading, I use Carlube Triple R 5w40 as it has the RN0710 grading. Other brands available of course.

9) Once happy there's no leaks for the sump or filter cover, refit the hose bracket with the hex bolt, the stabiliser bar and lower engine tray.

10) This is what I do. There may be other methods. If unsure, check with a garage or other suitably qualified person.

Feel underneath from the back and you will find a webbing strap, pull on it and the 2 rear clasps will undo, when the seat is lifted up from the back you will see a u shaped bar, lift this up whilst taking the weight of the seat as it will release the 2 front clasps, the seat is then clear, watch your fingers when you put the seat back in place as it can be cramped and the seat is fairly heavy when you are manouvering it into place, I've removed more seats than The Labour Parties had sleaze allegations..

Spring inside button is stuck; try WD 40 and keep depressing it; if it won't snap back you will need to replace the entire turn signal switch assembly.

what year? and how much are you looking for it?

its a switch just under the dasshboard on the passenger side i recently kicked mine by accident wen i crossed my legs

the connections to the dash flexible printed circuit board are problematic and so are the bulb holders.Its back lit by a row of ordinary bulbs not high tech l.e.d or cold cathode. very common and easily fixed by removing speakers and pulling off dash top then removing the torx screws to remove display unit. bulb holders and connectors are underneath display check also for breaks in the flexible circuit board. see renaultforums.co.uk for a thread which shows how to do this,with photos!!

Auto Zone will check your computer codes for FREE. and reset them if you ask them too.

ANY engine (gas/diesel) lasts long as long u take a GOOD CARE of it, I just sold my 1997 camry with 363,000 miles on it and guess what? ORIGINAL engine, sounded like a DREAM. Good fuel, oil, and correct maintenance will tell everything.

Due to the fact that a diesel engine uses compression to ignite the fuel rather than a spark plug they must be built much stronger than a gasoline engine. They therefore normally last much longer but they also cost more to build and buy.

with a gallon of petrol and a lighter lol, or i can give you the scrap man's number that i used.

Try going to blackcircles.com and type your reg number into the yellow search box,this should bring up your car details and a list of possible tyre sizes.My 2008 2.0 Dci takes 225/55 R17-W 101.
