Im having a job trying to under stand your clutch problem but will try...
If you are loosing either pressure or clutch fluid then the cylinders Master and Slave Cylinder have to be either repaired or replaced.. but if the clutch has good pressure but as you say crunch into Reverse gear it should also do it in 1 and 2sec gears but if only reverse and 4th gear then the 4th gear scrinco is no good and the clutch plate assy also has to be replaced at the same time as the gear box is out to be repaired.. its a big job .
So let me know how you get on ... Ron

this is usually caused by faulty equipment, or a bad earth, it will continue to happen until you rectify the problem.....

If the starter spins and doesn't catch on the flywheel there may be some damaged teeth on the flywheel. That's why playing with the shifter may be moving the flywheel just enough that the teeth can engage. Remove the starter and inspect the flywheel teeth and the starter gear. Have the starter tested at an auto parts store. I hope this helps.

have you checked the fuse for the blower motor, this is seperate to the fuse for the lighting instrumentation, but in the same fuse box....

The problem is probably a ball joint or tie rod end. It could also be the upper strut mount.

If you support the front end on jack stands, you should be able to move the tire around and see where the problem is.

If you need more help, post a comment and I will get back to you.

Thanks,

If the car is fuel injected then the coolent temperature sensor is faulty and needs replacing, if its carburator then it's got a sticking auto choke.
The coolent temp sensor tells the ecu how much more fuel to put in governed on the engine coolant temperature, if the sensor is faulty it does not know that it should be putting more fuel in.

you have an internal Problem with the Circuit Board. I wish there was an Easier Solution. This will either need to be Sent in for Repair or Replaced. They are EXTREMELY Hard to fix as the Boards will show no Faults when connected to a Scanner to locate Problems.

sounds like you need to overhaul youre gear box.

change fuel filter and try blowing fuel lines back with an air line,in case gauze filter in tank blocked.check the stop solonoid in the injector pump first though ,rubber valve seal could have dropped off.

all the oil will be in the sump when your engine has been stopped .if you jackk up the side you want to work om you should be ok

try bleeding the cluth it sounds like you have air in the system.and have a look and se if the brakes and the cluth use the same fluid if there do bleed the brakes to

Depending on the age of the car, that could be the low tire pressure warning.
Air pressure monitoring is becoming standard equipment on new cars.

Check the air pressure in all of your tires.

Have the EGR valve checked. My son-in-law has a 4.3 Vortec Blazer. It had similar problems. Had to replace the EGR valve. Rumor has it that these engines tend to foul that valve, making it inoperable. Hope this helps!

Don't know which Laguna you have but normally there is a reset button on the dash. switch the ignition on , don't start and twist the black button firmly either left or right and wait for the result.

Replace the car. get an 1989 peugeot 205, great car, cheap and stays for a long time, oh and 0 problems i had it for a 3 years.

Possible causes: Damaged antenna, lack of synchonization with the key, electronic failure with the immobilizer or the computer it accesses. This well may call for a Renault specialist to diagnose but here is what you can try: To address this issue, consider the following steps:

1. Disable Immobilizer and Start Engine Without It:
   • Obtain the pin code (usually available from the immobilizer itself or through dealers).
   • Try starting the engine without the immobilizer. If successful, this indicates an immobilizer-related issue.
2. Inspect Soldering on the Immobilizer:
   • Visually check the quality of soldering connections on the immobilizer.
3. Remove Aftermarket Devices:
   • Turn off any additional devices (e.g., aftermarket radio) that were not part of the manufacturer's original setup.
4. Check Wiring Integrity:
   • Inspect the wiring for any visible damage.
5. Verify Lighting and Reversing Lights:
   • Ensure proper functioning of lighting systems.
6. Consider Temperature Effects:
   • If possible, leave the car indoors to avoid extreme cold, which can affect immobilizer performance.
7. Check Neutral Position:
   • Confirm that the transmission is in the "neutral" position before starting the engine.

If it has a manual box, check the clutch adjustment.

I would firstly check the gearbox oil and then check if the whining noise gets more pronounced under load, (hill climb etc).

Yes, I would look closely at the bottom of the lighter socket for any kind of foregn material that might cause a short and then check for a blown fuse and replace if needed.
