Timmy Needs Help too.

Mate Has a Win7 M/C from new.
Obviously now updated to Win10.
He's got 3 accounts on it. Forgotten the Passwords to all of them. :frown2:
I got into it as an Admin & He's got all the data he wanted to keep, extracted.

Now he wants it Re-Formatting.
Am I right in thinking that MS will consider it a new build & want another Licence Payment?
If so how does one do it, FREE?
Should I Start with Win 7 or I have a Win 10 Beta Testing Disc, which Is how this machine started life?
Thoughts Ladies & Gents please?

Trafic 2007 warning lights ??

Warning lights are displaying MIL, Glow Plug, & SERV. But no faults are showing on reading with 3 different obd readers, 2 at local garage + my torque reader. Engine has started & run normally for a month - 1500miles-

Am I right in thinking a glowplug might be down?

Also the trip computer (mpg, etc) is not reporting.

Turkey

"What are you doing on that laptop?" asked my wife.
"How does Turkey this year sound," I smiled, "Me, you and the two kids, what do you say?"
"When?" she asked.
"Christmas time," I replied.
"It sounds amazing, but we can't afford it," she asked with a quiver in her voice.
"Yes we can," I replied, "Tesco are doing a big one for £12.99 if we pre-order it now."

Hesitation On Hills When Engine Is Cold (MEGANE III)

Noticed this over the last few days. I start the car, drive up a few hills, notice hesitation and loss of power.
When the issue occurs, its as if I've lifted my foot off the gas. Other times it feels like it is struggling to build power.
As soon as the car has been running for over a minute or two, the issues goes away. I can drive all day long without any power delivery problem.

I had this with my previous Megane. Ended up getting worse. Had to replace coil pack in the end.
Fuel consumption has increased.
Oil level dropped by 1 circle (trip computer read out) after oil change 2.5k miles ago.
Plugs are 4 months old. Car has done 53k.

I thought about air leak but this would happen regardless of warm or cold engine.

Thank you.

many thanks

Renault Scenic 54plate, not starting at all

Hi all, new to the forum - sorry if this is in the wrong thread. I have a problem similar to ones but slightly different. I went back to my car on Friday after driving it to work, when i put the keycard in, the card tried to fire up, but nothing. The dashboard displayed "low battery, low oil pressure, and parking brake fault" simultaneously. I gave it 5 minutes, and tried again. - nothing, the same result. I gave it another 10 minutes before trying again, when i got a message saying "electrical failure", and all the door lights coming on the dash (little car diagram). I called recovery - they tried the card in the slot and nothing, no messages on the dashboard, just the little red flashing immobilizer light. when i put the card in the slot, its like it isn't recognizing there is anything in there (doesn't say anything on dashboard). The battery is fine, I have central locking, i can turn the radio on, internal lights come on etc.

I am at a loose end as to what i might be and any help is appreciated before i have to take it into the garage

Many thanks,
