    That was such a heart-warming video. Your daughter doing good camera work, asking great questions and totally engaged with what you were doing. Seeing all of them going crazy at the end was fantastic. Oh, and I hope you can get the Avantime fixed, as it is such a quirky but great car and deserves to be around for a while longer.

    On the physical unlock issue… i would be willing to bet money its because renault were too lazy to change it for left hand drive…so they prob said no! Forget about those brits let them walk all the way around to the other side

    Some early renaults had lock reciever up in the roof at the front near mirror under a black glass looking plastic lump, sunroof fitted cars suffered from bad solder joints on said reciever and resoldering them fixed many lock issues, not sure if yours is similar but hope it helps coz it works awake or asleep on ign key when fixed

  • @tonyosborne7135
    @tonyosborne7135 6 днів тому +1

    Hi Ben messaged you yesterday bout ya locks, if ya have no joy with the reciever fix try finding the aftermarket locking module and disconnect the live feed for it and reconnect it to the battery, if it is moving your wipers and affected by sleep mode then the current live it has must be incorrectly connected to the wiper circuit hence the movement when you energise it with brief unlock/lock signal.

    I have to say all off those comments are right, I’ve got a Laguna gt turbo estate, love the car , parts are difficult, the electrics are troublesome, it was perfectly fine when I bought it 2 years ago, has been very well looked after but in the last 6 months it has just started to disintegrate, I’ve tried hard to keep it on the road but Ii think it’s just the age of the car scraping it next week, love the channel though

    Regarding the central locking, you have to add an additional relay to pulse the aux line. This wakes up the car so it always locks/ unlocks. The +12v power to the locking box needs moving also off the wiper circuit. Radio issue is a faulty cd head unit. Put batteries in the remote and it should work as the cd playing showing error so it’s talking to the main head unit under the seat. Window is sorted by adjusting the rollers in the runner. Abs is basically an early megane/espace so easy enough to sort out. Enjoy 👍
