• Megane reprogramming keys 25 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  Hi Hope someone can help - my Megane key keeps failing usually at awkward times. The garage will do it for me if I book the car in (after being towed home, I then have to pay for a tow to the dealer) but won't tell me the sequence needed to reprogramme the key myself! I have the code for my car

• Night-time parking £260 per hour 21 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  Try parking in Westminster - just north of Oxford street - at 9.15 pm at night. Fail to notice the signs which say 'residents parking only at any time' - it's dark, they're badly lit, and anyway, parking restrictions at 9pm at night? By 10.25, the car had been towed away. £200 for tow charges

  Hi all,   The manual states that my Duster mustn't be towed with any wheels in contact with the road. But, what about coasting? A 4x4 being towed whilst all wheels are in road contact is surely the same as coasting, the only difference is, when coasting, up to lights
