My R26 jack has machined notches in the thread to prevent you lifting the car too high.
It only just lifts the wheels off the ground, and won't go high enough to fit axle stands under.
This makes my working on the car more dangerous, the opposite of what Renault intended.
I live in a 1st floor apartment and wash mine using the 2 bucket method, but I cart the water up and down the stairs in the buckets.
It's a massive ballache to be honest and a drive with an outside tap is very high on the list of priorities for the next house.
I do sometimes use the local...
You've already taken this to BTM, but not had any work done that was suggested?

That's bad fella and s**t for Xmas, but shouldn't cost anywhere near £400. I had a 2 sill dents, scuffs on the rear arch and a massive dent ahead of the near side wheel arch sorted & painted in the R26 for £300.
Nice thread; glad you're getting to the bottom of the faults and that you're sticking with the car. They are great when working correctly - you'll not go wrong with Dan looking after it.
I've only just seen the thread, but I would of said you had a timing issue - same symptoms I had when mine...
