Renault Espace

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.

how do you replace the rear springs on a renault espace

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.

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.

If you mean the tailgate stuck shut, I had the same problem with my 1999.

I was quoted £300 to fix it because I was told it was 'a major electical fault'.

I took it home, cut open the cover inside the boot, reached down inside the middle and pulled the 2 metal rods to release the boot. When open, you can unscrew properly and replace/ repair solenoid. Also would be a good idea to grease it all up.

U,ll find one in a Haynes Manuel,or look on internet

It was a simple enough job for me with my 2006 Grand Espace IV 2.2dci. the battery in mine is to the front of the engine compartment next to the air filter box passenger side (Right Hand Drive). NOTE: before you disconnect the battery make sure you know your 4 digit radio security code as the driver display will ask for it when insert the key card for the first time after you have installed your the new battery.

Remove your key from the ignition first, then in the engine compartment undo the negative nut with the two black wires attached, then lift plastic positive terminal cover and undo the positive nut with its two red wires attached and a terminal plate too, there is also a vent or drain pipe on this side as well it pops out easily. Undo the securing bolt at the base of the battery and remove it with the securing bracket, make sure the terminals are clear of the connections and lift it straight up and out, you can swap the battery terminal fittings from your old battery to your new battery once you have it out. Refitting is the reverse of removal.
