Get some Panasonic CR2032 (or equivalent) for the Remote Control.
Cleverly, the car will warn when signal strength is low. But they are only cheap so why wait!When updating R-Link or maps through Renault toolbox make sure to disable Windows firewall and antivirus. Otherwise update cannot be applied onto the SD card.
Re: Spare wheel
Is it possible to have some photos?I haven’t had a puncture for years, but when I did have one sealing gunk would have been useless, the screw when through the side wall. So I prefer to have the insurance of a spare tyre – even though I hope never to have to use it.
Anybody know the Zoe wheel specification?
hub diameter
fixing stud pcd
stud size
rim width
offset
etc.
or a source that knows what to supply, i.e. space saver wheel for a Zoe?
Thanks
FredThe basic specs are on pages accessed from the menus above:
The references given are useful for tyre sizes but not sufficient to specify a steel space-saver wheel.
The following web site is well worth a look, has a lot of information, some of which I’ve reproduced below:
http://www.wheelfitment.eu/car/Renault/Zoe%20%282014%20-%20%29.html
hub diameter 60.1 mm
fixing stud pcd 4 x 100
stud size 12 x 1.5 mm
rim width ?J
offset 40 mmStandard tyre sizes
185/65 R15 radius 305mm (The preferred size if legal for 16 and 17″ wheels,)
195/55 R16 radius 310mm
205/45 R17 radius 308mmYou really want the narrowest tyre you can get away with to minimise loss of boot space, but by using a standard tyre you are not restricted to 50 miles at 50 mph max. But fitting a 15″ spare wheel to a car fitted with 16″ or 17″ wheels might raise questions with the insurance company in the event of an incident.
Some form of approval for a space saver from Renault or other authority might be needed to satisfy the insurers.
To be continued… with inputs from others hopefully
Fred
I should be able to get you the specs when I am back in work tomorrow. In theory no problem fitting the 15″ but obviously the size of the steel wheel would be smaller than if you went for the 16″ as the rolling road has to stay the same. The Zoe Expression comes with 15″ though so should be easy enough to get the sizes of the system.
This discussion reminds me – I’m sorely tempted to try a range test of the ZOE fitted with the i3’s narrow wheels and tyres, I’m curious to see if BMW really did get a significant benefit from them.
Is there any benefit of putting the keyless keycard in the dashboard slot (unless the keycard is flat & won’t start the car without inserting), or is just so the car will beep when you open the door to remind you not to leave it there?

I don’t think so. I presume if the beeping is useful, you’re dumping the key in the car? I always just leave it in my pocket; it’s rather convenient when getting out (especially with all the faffing we already have to do; gear selector, handbrake, power button ;))
It unlocks the steering wheel for starters so you don’t have to Start the car 🙂
I think thats the only benefit i have found.
I am 50/50 some days i use it some days i don’t.
