When you stand at the frount of othe car, bonet up. The temp switch is under the Inlet manifold (left side) at the front of the engine.

If the heater is running normally on full speed then the likely cause is that the resistor block needs replacing. If you have a Mk 1 then it may be the switch on the fascia panel as it was used to switch the current to each resistor. The Mk 2 replaced the heavy current through the switch by using relays which are distributed around the car in various fuse boxes for some reason. Two will be found under the bonnet.

The resistor block itself is mounted adjacent to the blower motor and is almost totally inaccessible without some dismantling of the fascia.

seals to the cam shaft cavity on the injectors are faulty allowing the oil to leak rather than recirculating its intended path to the sump.

it sits on top of the gear box it has one plug and two bolts that hold it on so disconnect the battery undo the plug undo the boltd put the new one on and re connect plug and battery

In the Espace III (1997 - 2002) it is under the drivers seat and is the very devil to get at. This is intentional; makes it impossible to steal. The 'facia' is of course in the speedometer unit and if it is hard to see change the bulb at the back of the speedo. The bulb is described as a "wedge" T10 and you should use the 3W version of this bulb. Most motor factors tend to stack the 5W which will overheat. If you have a tape it is in the dash and a CD is near the rear door left side.

yea it will lay it in shite

go through the sequence of pressing button on computer stalk until it reaches service then keep it held in for a few secs and it will reset. easy peasy. good luck. graham

Its under the drivers seat a flat silver box

There is a cover secured by 4 bolts located at the top of the shock absorber directly under the windscreen wiper arm. Remove that then you can access the 3 nuts that secure the shock absorber top plate at the top of the shock absorber. Support the shock absorber while undoing the 3 nuts after undoing all the lower bolts ( at the caliper / disc end). You may have to disconnect one side of the disc to allow it to swing for access. Use the proper spring compressor tools (spring under extreme compression!) to compress spring to allow for removal of top 3 bolt plate so to change spring after removing shock absorber from vehicle. Assistance probably required to help locate the top plate / 3 nuts on refitting.

I assume that you are referring to hot water radiators, heated by an oil furnace.

These radiators could have air in them and will not allow the hot water to fill them and give off any heat. If these are connected to the same hot water line that feeds the other working radiators, the in and out lines and the bottom on the cold ones should be hot. These radiators will then have to have the air bled out of them. They should have a valve on the top somewhere to do this.

If there is no heat in the lines there must be separate line to that room that is plugged or shut off.

my car had new clutch about six month ago its a renualt espace exspression 2.0 16v y reg petrol manual my clutch petal is now about 2inches from the floor were is this hidrolic or low gear box oil or new cable can any one help

A FAP is a filter on the exhaust system that catches soot particles, which decreases environmental polution. Regeeration is the process of removing the collected particles and soot from the FAP.

Use the central locking button inside car, then get out of passenger side and use key in lock. Reverse process to get back in. Be careful if battery is low as alarm can go off.

My garage phoned me out of the blue and told me I needed this done to my 5 year old Espace - with dire threats of what happens if the belt fails - they quoted £1500. Can I risk leaving this longer?

It depends on the model. I have a 3.0l v6 one (T reg) and the cambelt and plugs need to be changed at 72000 miles. Because it is the v6 only a main dealer will touch it and they have quoted me £1500 for the cambelt and £720 for the plugs!!!!

I have heard that smaller independent garages will do the cambelt on a non v6 model for around £750.

Mine has currently done 83000 miles and I don't really want to risk driving it until the cambelts changed (£3000 - 5000 for an new engine).

its on the bottom of the gearbox sump. but advise this be done by specialist as it requires diagnostic equipment to get fluid to correct level and pressure else it will go into limp mode

in a fuse comaprtment under the bonnet on near side between battery and inner guard

in the fuse comaprtment thats located under the bonnet on the near side. You should find it between the battery and the inner panel/

With Espace bonnet up, look at right side top of radiator. Follow top hose back into the engine compartment. Under the air filter box the top hose joins to an aluminum housing. The thermostat is inside that housing.

the firing Order is 1,3,4,2 (No 1 at flywheel endof Engine)

yes, you need to close drivers door, open passenger door and use central locking button, then close passenger door and use key.

I have just had the rear screen replaced on my mk4 Espace. The Autoglass technician removed the wiper motor and arm complete prior to fitting the screen stating that it is virtually impossible to remove the arm without breaking it.

He was correct after 2.5 hour of gentle persuasion and loads of releasing agent I ended up breaking the arm. The arms internally moulded metal collar had corroded to the splined shaft and even using a puller it would not budge, use of a hammer and a vice eventually facilitated removal of collar.

Replacement arm sourced for £35.00 including vat from local Renault dealer.

There could be a fault with the wiring for the airbags underneath the both front seats as i have researched may be whats wrong with mine as when i turn on my ignition the airbag symbol appears with a tone sounding followed by the word SERVICE.

There could simply be a bad connection on one of these wires Maybe Disconnect The Battery and leave for a while so as not to trigger the airbags or remove the fuse if your sure which one it is but id disconnect the battery myself much handier than messing around with fuses Airbags can hurt when they deploy so be warned. when i get round to sorting this fault with mine i will be cutting each wire one by one each time rejoining the same wire to the one it was connected to in the connector obviously bypassing the connector i will rejoin the wires with electricians connector block also known as terminal block. This is what i also use when wiring in after market stereos etc hope this helps you.
