Hi, My Scenic's player struggles to connect. Eventually it kicks in losing the memory of radio and blue-tooth, however the tom tom is not affected. However, as I use it for many locations each day, its annoying to have to pull out the old stick on the window tom tom.

Hello Jure, You really need these answers from the retailer who has taken your order. I can obtain general information but it's disconnected from the retailers.

Hello, The cars electrical system is generally, battery to engine compartment distribution, then cockpit. Ideally you should turn the steering wheel to ensure the steering lock is engaged when you leave it. If not its not a big issue but the components are designed to lock the column.
Hello Allen, I have a Megane 225 and a Laguna both with F4Rt engines. The common problem they exhibited was the valve on the top breather pipe (valve cover to intake manifold). Even after replacing the valve eventually it fails and boost pressure blows away the valve cover sealant - oil leaks begin.. I removed this breather pipe blanking the intake manifold hole and adding a small filter on the valve cover. The valve cover sealant now holds just fine for quite some time. My question is what are the possible repercussions and dangers when that breather pipe is removed and are there any other solutions? Thanks!
Martin, 16th Mar 2019
Hello Martin, I'm not familiar with the details you have presented however i'd offer the following feedback: Engine breather re-circulation pipes generally only develop issues when carbon deposits build up and restrict the flow of air in other parts of the system. While you have engineered a solution which has very little compromise it'll generally have an impact on low speed engine operation. Best wishes,

Hello Jacob, You should be able to obtain the wheels from a Renault Retailer. I'd not encourage installing the larger tyre.
