Hi there haynes does not do a manual for the espace 1997 and onwards and i have already e-mails haynes and they've told me so.. but you can use the laguna manual which has the same engines, need to check the back of the book for the engine sizes as not all lanuna manuals are the same.. the French ETAI manuals are very good but you really need to be able to read and understand French.. I too was looking for a manual as I'm trying to repair my engine and now using the laguna manual.. got down to taking the head off.. and I'm no mechanic, putting it all back is another thing??? best of luck.. but if you do find it and its in English let me know.. as theres other areas the laguna manual can not help you with e.g, body and facias etc.... Tony

They are all pirated in some way Tony as Dialogys is only meant to be for Renault Dealers.
Whilst this is true, there is an on-line set up now that anyone can access - but at a price! The idea is that most manufacturers are now offering access to their data but it is meant for non-franchised garages and these pay a subscription to be able to access the information. It is not really meant for individuals, and I don't know the cost, but my guess is that will be enough to put an individual off anyway!! I have seen some 4-CD versions of Dialogys available on the internet but only as BitTorrent downloads. According to Roy who is a Renault Trained Engineer who occasionally calls by on the forum, the current version of Dialogys has 6 CD's.
Well it did, but it is now up to twelve or thirteen CD!! The actual program comes on '0', parts on '1', time codes and the start of the manual and technical notes are on '2', more manuals on '3', '8' and '9' and along with technical notes on '10', '11' and '12'. Motrio parts on on '7' and the Renault Romania / Dacia stuff on '4' and '5' or '5' and '6' - not sure what I missed on the other one. However, I was in my local Renault dealer last week and talking to the parts guys they are moving over to a new internet based system...
This sounds like the subscription service I mentioned above. However, the dealers still get the multiple CD's which are updated every month... So after a couple of months there are always old ones lying around. You have to allow for keeping some old versions initially as the updates do have faults in sometimes and you need to revert back.

I have the 4(or was it3?) cd version and it works fine on my stationary pc, but not on my laptop! However, if I connect the laptop on a dockingstation then everything is up and running again. Dialogys, in my opinion, is not the best repair-manual around. Be prepared to spend some time finding what you need ...(it's there -somewhere!) The biggest drawback is the lack of detailed wiring diagrams. The french RTEA has far better illustrations and detailed wiring diagrams, but -its in french... (send me a PM for download link... ) The online solution mentioned above, I believe is the Renault Infotech: http://www.infotech.renault.com/fo/index.jsp-they sell various subscriptions to their base with what I suspect is the same files as you find in dialogys + wiring diagrams. I fancy trying the one-hour option, and downloading all I can find in there. -Anybody tried this?
