I really need to investigate why the plastic French contraption wont start when its hot. Its a pita.  ::)
Its also starting to sound like a skeleton abusing itself in a biscuit tin, to borrow a phrase from Kevin Wood.  :D :D
Check the earthing straps mate. Know weak point on Reno,s
They start to disintigrate

Checked the earth straps and they seem ok. Having a car that refuses to start when hot is more than a little inconvenient. Really need to get to the bottom of it, but not too many ideas how to.  :-\
Pierre has been looking at this forum. Start being a bit nicer and you never know. Would you want to work for someone who called you an Irish piece of shit all the time?  ;D

I would inform said employer that Im not Irish, then kick him in the nuts.  ;D

Moved on to the Boxster this afternoon. Sonce just after I got it the central locking unlocks itself as soon as I lock it.
Usual culprit is the n/s door actuator. Recent diagnostics session conformed the problem was in the n/s door area.
Fitted a new actuator to the door today,and its exactly the same. Wste of time and money, and still none the wiser.  :(

That's most of the Porsche ownership experience. The only bit you've not had is paying some miserable, snooty, incompetent arsehole lots of money to get to exactly the same point.

Ok....it's worse than I thought. If you thought French cars hated the Irish, then you can imagine what they think of the English. It may never start again.
