Hi All, I am closing comments on this post. It has been enjoyable while it lasted but many comments are straying onto subjects that I know nothing about and there are many questions but no one answering. I recommend that people wanting to know about Laguna problems join the excellent RenaultForums where there are people who know the answers.

The general consensus for a cure (if possible ) is to over inflate the tyre by a bit (50psi is thought to be enough) and then drop it back to the correct pressure. This should clear the stuck sensor. That is assuming that the sensor is still attached to the valve.

I see I am not alone in having endless trouble with the tyre pressure sensors. After experiencing all the common problems (low pressure on cold mornings, persistent flashing of warning for no reason, damage to sensor requiring a new one when the tyre is changed etc etc) my laguna now says STOP in red letters every time I drive it. The garage say it is due to the pressure sensor system (the offside rear always flashes irrespective of the actual pressure in the tyre), and have changed the tyre without improvement. I am about to sell the car, and don’t want to change and reprogram the sensor, especially as this may not cure the problem - any suggestions. I will never buy a car with tyre pressure sensors again - but would like to cure this one (at least long enough to sell it !)

An alternative way to lock the doors (and the tailgate) is to open a rear door, lean in and press the central locking switch. Now close the rear door and all should be locked. Use the emergency key to get back in and reverse the procedure.

Both of mine have failed in the same way (bit upsetting when you realise you cant lock your car!!) - when you shake the keys you can hear the contact rattling round. Not the easiest of things to open, but once i had, i re located the contact and funnily enough - we have life! However, i too was a bit brutal getting the key open and am now stuck with a really short range on the fob (i literally have to stand against the car for it to work). No other probs for me - other than a horrible clutch and every now and then the elec windows / s/roof dont work. Damn you over complicated renault tat!

I too have had my key card fail on locking button only, good tip about locking the other doors, I’ll try that - this is only the latest in a long line of major problems I have had with this model (don’t get me started on the tyre pressure sensors) - I will never buy anything from Renault ever again - Regards
