Under the heading "HAVING PROBLEMS" I added a recent incident where the add on TPMS unit I fitted, played it's part and showed it's true value during a low tyre pressure alarm occurrence, where I was able to directly compare the Austral general alarm method with the superior individual ala...

While motorway driving this week the car started juddering, jerking as the engine began to mis fire. We pulled off the motorway to check it out. I Put on the ignition popped open the drivers door and bonnet which started the engine and listened. At tickover it sounded ok again, but as soon as we sta...

I also bought one as a spare and it fits perfectly, and worked a treat when called into action the other day.

I must say the desire to fix issues on this model leave a lot to be desired after one year of ownership. My Iconic has the same software glitches now has it had a year ago. Flickering dashboard display, hanging google map display on dashboard and no radio icons on radio channel display. Car due for ...

Mine is around 7 months old since delivery and built Dec 2023, the Dab radio icons still don't show radio channels.

I can confirm the above post. If the main driver profile has the Head up display activated, and you change over the profile for driver 2 when needed, enter the "Vehicle" menu TAB, select cockpit and activate HUD to be the fav button. Then the display will default to the main driver profile...

Renault rang recently to confirm NO.. Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is fitted to uk austral models only a tyre pressure monitor ( TPM ). So that's how you determine the type you have. Very crafty Renault in how you have cleverly worded your specification literature. So just for you to know,...

I totally and utterly agree with you. All the unnecessary tech that is on this Iconic spec that I doubt I will use, to then find the one item that I would have used is not present. What are Renault thinking ? Let me use an actual example, my last car which was a Nissan Qashqai was being driven along...
