The problem may be with the power lock of the driver side door. The actuators may be worn out since this is the most used door since the key and the central lock will not work. If the driver's door side is delayed or will not work, usually the rest of the doors would follow. It may just need re-installing because it got loose or went out of alignment due to vibrations.

if both controls are on steering wheel- short most likely in connection in the column where control arm goes into column- they are the two most used controls after the ignition and are not build as tough as the ignition

You may have a bad ignition control module or a bad ignition coil.

you can drive it for as long as u like it just means your car is due a service due to the miles you have done it will not do anything to the car but when you do service it you will have to get a service center to reset the light or it wont go out

Not quite sure here as it depends on if its a europeon market vehicle or a american market vehicle,different software used between markets but i have installed a new card reader before and it had to have the renault garage to re-programme it over the internet with the factory ,Nearly got the mechanic to do it at my yard to save the breakdown truck but he said that they had to use the renault phone line or the factory wouldnt recognise the the phone line and do the work it would just shut off as a non official phone line was being used

you have to check to things
1 speaker connection

Hi there, I have a few steps here to help you out:

• With your hand brake ON, loosen the wheel bolts to hand tight, jack up front wheel, chock back wheels, and put axle stands/blocks in place (just in case) .
• Remove wheel. Disconnect pad wear wire, it pulls out of the connector.
• Remove lower caliper bolt (at the back of caliper at the bottom), need a 13mm ring spanner for head of bolt and 17mm to stop it spinning
• Use a screw driver between the back of the outer pad and the caliper to raise the caliper back away from the back of outer pad. Pivot caliper upwards to rest on top of wheel disc (good idea to tie it up with some wire) .
• Remove and discard old pads , clean out with wire brush and soft brush , don't breath in to much of the dust its nasty.
• Fit new pads (remember pad wear sensor on inside pad), make sure that the pads are in contact with the disc , and the top of them sitting flush with the rim of the disc, don't force them into this position they should naturally sit there.
• Lower caliper down into position, you may need to push back the piston further in order to make room for the new pads , do this with you hands or a small piece of timber. Keep an eye on the brake fluid reservoir , your pushing fluid back in so if its over full it may spill over. Refit lower caliper bolt (Renault say to replace this each time), and tighten. Reconnect pad wear sensor.
• Pump brake pedal until normal brake pressure returns.
• Remove axle stand/blocks, refit wheel and bolts, lower jack and tighten up wheel bolts.

Hope this helps...

check your fan belts there sliping soon they will brake up,

Press the bottom toggle button for 10 seconds and the display will start to flash. Keep button depressed until the service counter resets..

If this radio is fitted in a RENAULT then post ALL the LETTERS NUMBERS on the label on the radio metal casing

You must remove the dash to access it so it's a very long and complicated procedure. Get this repair manual and follow it to the letter.

Although its an "86" to play it safe Take it back to dealer there may be a reset program involved with this.

Open the key carefully and check the electronics. Unless the tactile switch is damaged and needs replacement, check the quality of the solder on all components. This is prone to failure over time.

if you aint mechanically minded i would strongly recommend you take it to a garage, it usually takes a mechanic around 3 hours and i recommend you have a timing belt kit fitted due to tensioners breaking
