Hi Roo its to do with the air con not working.There is a known problem regarding something getting blocked causing it to fail they would not say what the problem is.Renault said if i take it down and they put it on there diagnostic kit and the error code is the same has known problem no charge but if it comes up with a differant error code they will charge me.All fuses seem to be ok and the system is all gassed up ok.

well If I was you, I let them do the check seeing as its free, and see what they come back with.. but I would tell them not to do any paid work on it yet, as it maybe simple to fix yourself ..
I guess you've checked the gas in the air con system ?
I know that the gas in the air con system usually needs to be re-gassed every three years or so. otherwise the system does not work..
Hope that is of some help to ya :D
Let us know please :D

sorry just read your post again, and you say the gas is fine.. Just off to find yet another :wall:

could there be a leak in the condenser (radiator).??
