What have you done to your Elgrand today?

I doubt police would take much notice if they saw the car running without anyone in it, especially on someone's drive. But might take a dim view if it was nicked under those circumstances, remote start or keys in the ignition. Still most Elgrand owners could say they didn't leave keys in the ignition and can't be proven I used a remote starter lol..
 
I once lived next door to a guy who had a Renault 5 Gordini and he had fitted a shut down timer circuit as he thought it cool to lock the car and go inside while the turbo spooled down for 30 seconds : unamused:

Do you tow your caravan with your Elgrand too? They make great tow cars eh?

Chop up an Elgrand and turn it into a Grandavan.

Could call an Elgrand camper a Grandavan ;-)

Just in case anyone misunderstood my other post above,I don't see any problem with remote start systems and would probably make use of it if mine had one.

I don’t plan to tow with my current one but have towed with several Elgrands in the past, they tow really well!

You can’t drive away a remote start car without the key within range, as soon as you put it in gear it will stall if no key sensed. But playing devils advocate... if you did manage to get it stolen during remote start... you aren’t likely to own up to it are you???
 
Finally got round to looking at my nearside electric door which for the last few weeks has been needing a push to close into the locking mechanism,
Then finally would not open unless pushed from the inside, found this screw loose at the end of runner tightened it up now door working perfectly IMG_20200223_174907.jpg

Course it would be daft to own up to it, same as I implied in my first post on thread. Bah, got me quoting myself now...

have remote start with out key in range it will cut out if someone presses any pedals etc
 
On our ambulances and fast response vehicles at work, we have a feature called runlock, it enables us to keep the engine running when the vehicle is unattended (powering the computer system / blue lights and equipment etc) with the key removed and vehicle locked.

I've seen that happen before! Does yours have a little crinkly type washer behind the screw head? Mine does and it's never come loose, but some don't seem to have the washer.

Was just about to say, where the hell is this? But see you're in Canada. Guess you're not going to far in it at the moment
