Had a major motoring crisis this morning I was driving my brother to school it was still darkish got five minutes up the road looked down and the right half of the heater controls weren't lit :eek: which would be a major thing to me it annoys me even sitting in cars with blown dash bulbs maybe it wouldn't bother some.
Queue me beating the sh!t out of the dash :pac: and they are back working now. But as you see in the photo the far right has always been slightly darker but I always thought it was just uneven but does it look like there is a blown bulb hard to know it depends if there is only 3 bulbs then it's not blown if there is loads of bulbs then there probably is. The megane mk3 are known for being notorious for blowing them dash bulbs most uk Renault forums say they blow often after just 3 years mine is not far of being 5 years old. Not the easiest dash to strip down either from what is see. The cigarette lighter has already blown it's bulb their a disaster

You need to find out the bulb type replace every bulb with LED bulbs
They will last longer than incandescent and will be brighter :P 0 -

Apparently you have to take the dash out on them to get at the oil filter, and the engine has to come out to change the radio.0 -

Ye ill have to go searching the Haynes manual doesn't say anything about changing them. Theres not a whole lot online about the megane mk3 online so its often difficult to find information.Here we go, Renault electrics :pac:
Ye id be half afraid to rip apart the dash as id probably end up having have 2 broken windows, the wipers wouldnt work and lights would start going erratic :pac:Noccy_Mondy wrote: »:eek: How ever will you survive!?!
I don't know I'd say it would last a week with a blown bulb before id have it ripped apart blown bulbs are one of my pet hates especially on the interior.Apparently you have to take the dash out on them to get at the oil filter, and the engine has to come out to change the radio.
haha no the oil filter isn't too bad you only have to move 3 hoses to get at it down at the bottom of the front of the engine. The pollen is actually ridiculous to do and you do have to remove the front wheel, wheel arch liner slide the light forward to even see the fuel filter and even then there is a lot of stuff going around it. Actually the only thing they made easy on it was changing front light bulbs two bolts a bar and the light slides forward 0 -

That would be some job alright :pac:
Actually is it just me or do you think the indicator and wiper stalks on the fluence are like the ends of a brush they are massive I seen them yesterday and thought they looked out of place the short ones in the Megane look better and are nice to use too.Noccy_Mondy wrote: »One went around the heater dials on the focus. I replaced all 5 of them. If I only replaced 1 then it would be brighter.
Its definitely worth replacing them all you were right the bulbs are cheap anyway. Ill do the same if I do have to.0 -

"Why has the car stopped"
One thing I only noticed recently on the Civic starter button is the illumination gradually fades out just after you start the engine. Nice touch
In case you're wondering, pressing the start button when the engine is running doesn't do anything. I checked, I was half waiting for the starter to crunch but curiosity got the better of me and I just had to press it

I've just bought a 1989 Renault 19 GTS in Southampton.
We're expecting great things and many threads about fixing it.
