Clunk going into 1st. Jesus, its just so worrying as no other bloody car ive driven clunks when engaging gear! french donkeys. Ill live with it I guess, just odd how so little people know about it then if they all do it! Si.

Anyone know the best way of getting a "new one" - rubbers tearing off. Stupidly went into Halfords bearing the removed rubber and two metal support strips. Staff recommend a "refill" pack which needs to be cut down to size etc, but openening the pack isnt the right shape etc. Nothing they...

Been using optimax since it came out, listening to all the hype and claims etc. Due to lack of Shell garages tother week I filled up with a tank of BP super (97 ron it says atpump) It was actually cheaper than Optimax @ 78.9p (Manchester area) I have noticed the car to be more responsive...

Hiya, I empathise mate. Mine also has this effing "feature". I have found this: Dealers diag computers "cant see a problem". / any record of any such problem ever being reported.. hmm. Doesnt happen in the winter, only in warmer weather, maybe 15-18 degrees and above etc. Appears to be...

Lets show our protest here, that we dont want a sodding MPV or anymore crappy build quality! Then send renaultsport etc the link. Si.
