Cannot find brackets & Clips for 2008 Grand Espace Sunroof
Re: 2008 Renault Grand Espace 2.0 DCi with Panoramic Roof
One of the 4 metal brackets (the ones that slide) that hold the sunroof has rusted.
However, I cannot find this part for sale anywhere.
I see sunroof repair kits for the Renault Megane and Scenic which have similar metal brackets and clips, but they look a wee bit different. The one on the Espace (which I removed) is a slightly different design/shape with a fixed white plastic bit at one end and a rubber clip in the middle.
Does anyone know where I could find one?
And could the ones for the Megane/Scenic work (but I doubt it).
has anyone else had this problem?
Very grateful for any help as I have run up against a brick wall.

Buying a 1.9 DCi car - advice about oil leak
Hi folks,
I've found a 2011 Megane III 1.9 DCi that I've agreed to buy. It seems a nice car and is a reasonable price, but there's an oil leak from the pipe on the top of the engine. I've attached a photo I took.
Can anyone tell me what it is and whether it's something I should be worried about.
Thanks,
Al

Virgin Media Networking
Just a ramble really but advice, suggestions or whatever welcome.
We have recently changed it all around with VM to cancel Son's account in his top floor flat and run the whole house off one account.
Halved our total monthly bills, got extra boxes and content so generally happy.
However, now only one incoming router, a Superhub 3 with 350 mbps incoming speed.
And it generally gives that speed whenever we run speedtest (Ookla) at his PC. Been over 400 so no complaints with VM.
It does mean we had to network to ground floor, to get acceptable tinternet speed at 'Er Indoor's and my PCs not to mention wireless.
Tried plug in extenders but (thanks to VPL) realised they were throttling the signal as limited to 100mbps.
Run about 40 yards of Cat5e, played with different RJ45 plugs and ended up with a consistent 200 to 220mbps speed at my computer.
This is with a TP link Archer 2 gigabit wifi router downstairs with the feed from the SH3 into the WAN port, then direct wired connections to my PC and to 'Er Indoor's unit and onwards to another gigabit switch feeding tother stuff (VM boxes)
SH3 in normal wifi router (not modem) mode.
TP Link settings default with SH3 setting dynamic IP addresses etc.
All seemed happy despite a nominal 150mbps drop along the new cable but can live with that. Or can upgrade cable if I decide I can't.
This is where it got silly.
Ran like that for a few days and then dropped to 50-70mbps at my PC.
SH3 still saw the TP link as 1000mbps.
Bypassing TP Link made no difference, rebooting all, unplugging, swapping ports still saw 350mbps at son's PC, max 75 at mine.
Google brought up plenty of networked superhubs seeming to have this sort of issue but no solutions.
Plenty of jargon on setting static IPs and modem mode not to mention spending a small fortune of top of the range kit but frustrating thing was mine had worked and I could not find a change.
Found a hint on one forum... PC network card settings.
Into device manager, network card properties and advanced. Speed setting.
Was set to Auto Negotiate.
Reset it to 1000mbps full duplex and reboot.
Back to 200-220mbps.
Seemingly no adverse effects on other PCs or use.
Pages are flying in on the web.
Dunno technical terms but seems like the Superhub3 doesn't like playing with auto negotiation and can latch up at a slow speed.
Early days but at the moment, a happy bunny.
Just gotta stick a gigabit network card into 'Er Indoor's PC cos her onboard connection is 10/100. And she is moaning :grin2:

Clio MkIII wiper problem
So...
End of Feb I had the problem with the wipers only working on fast. Stripped down and found the motor had been submerged due to blocked up drain holes (lots of good info on the forums for this). Bought a new motor off ebay and replaced then all was working fine until last week when the wipers kept stopping after a minute then do not respond at all until next time we turn the car over. Stripped it down and cleared up the drain again. Tried the motor without the arms and it worked fine for about an hour. Put the arms back on and they stopped. Took arms off for another look and back on again and its worked fine all week until this morning when it stopped working again. What could be wrong? Could it be the cheap aftermarket motor I bought from ebay? Or maybe something with the linkage or even the wiper arms. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Engine swap
I'm running a MK2 scenic and just wondering what and if possible engine could I swap in place for the stock 1.6vvt petrol engine. I'm wanting something with more grunt and that can be turbo'd and upgraded with forged pistons etc.
Carminat DVD update
I have just purchased a 2009 Laguna 2.0 GT and it has the Carminat Navigation ET Communication Carminat Bluetooth DVD Europe V31.1 which I believe is 2011.
Does anyone know what is the latest maps I can get and where? I have tried the Tom Tom and Renault website and there is nothing there or they are dead links.
Thanks
Rich

Laguna 2 speaker upgrade
Hello! I'm thinking about speaker change in my Laguna 2. Any suggestions what to choose? Best price/performance.
I would like to change all door speakers. And preferably stay with original head unit.
If it's suggested to change head unit too, what you could recommend?
Changing small speakers in panel will change something?
Pictures with current speakers
Could they be OEM? Don't have proper tool on hand to unscrew them and see the other side.
