I'm hoping someone can suggest somethingYesterday had my rear brakes discs and pads changed at a reputed garage. Since then the Stop braking system fault light and sound comes on and goes off ever so often and randomly. About 20 times on and off in a 30 min drive. The garage said to take it to Renault to get it checked as there are no sensors anywhere near the rear brakes discs and pads that were replaced. But it seems too much of a coincidence that this fault light issue has started only after replacing the rear brakes discs and pads.The only other thing that seems a bit different while driving is that the gear shift seems just a bit different when I change gears...not as smooth as before. And the handbrake seems to have been tightened when I pull it up after the car has stopped.I'm not an expert in cars so would be grateful if someone could offer a resolution with some detail. Thanks

Hi guys can anyone help me out with some advice please.I have a elderly neighbour who has a 2012 scenic mk3 who has a electric handbrake fault and the handbrake will not release. she is struggling for money and im hoping i can help her out. she has been quoted ridiculous prices for towing the car to a dealer etc. I have checked the motors and when switching the handbrake on and off the nearside motor makes no sound but the offside does. My question is... is there any reason this motor would be disabled by a fault? or is it a failed motor? has anyone got any experience on this? if someone could give me some advice it would be greatly appreciated. i am very savvy with cars and can do the vast majority of repairs.thanks in advance.

Although very late in replying, I had the same problem on a 2016. Having just bought the car from Car Shop Wolverhampton, it was still within the 3 months retailer warranty so it went from Coventry to Shirley Renault, Solihull were it was determined that the alarm control module was faulty and it ws replaced for a cost of a few pence shy of £500 - paid for by Car Shop. Don't know if that is helpful?9Renault

Hi can anyone help please, my grand scenic 2010 version has deadlocked the rear nearside passenger door, unfortunately the childlock was on at the time. Therefore I cannot open this door from either inside or outside. It failed the MOT on this fault, can anyone advise me how to rectify this issue please so that the door will open.  TIA.

HI, I've got a 2017 Scenic IV with an alarm that is constantly going off. I think it might be the bonnet latch because it started after I opened the bonnet.Does anybody know how I remove the plastic slam plate so I can access the wires to test it.Thanks

I need to change my front bread pads and discs. I removed the wheel and found that the break caliper holds 2 larger e-torx. Since I’m not sure about the exact size I hope someone can tell me the size?It is a 2017 grand scenic.

I’ve got the dreaded check parking brake error, my brakes were low and were changed 4 weeks ago, the error still remained; I’ve changed the reverse switch twice, the error still remains, If I try to use the brake to start the car, it says select neutral, even though it is in neutral, I can use the clutch like I always have done and do, no issue msg goes away, when I put the car in reverse I’ve noticed the error msg comes back on any idea what could be the cause; is it likely to be one of the clutch pedal sensors? parking brake works absolutely fine though.

The best road for handling I have ever driven was between St Just and St Ives, in Cornwall, on the coast road through Pendeen and Zennor. (B3306)Its only 17 miles between the two but I was knackered, both mentally and physically, by the time we pulled up in St Ives.Well worth a go if you are down that way.

Thanks for answering that. I only got me Grand Scenic yesterday and that was one of the things that was flummoxing me.
