The black roof on the 5 is just a wrap!

Welcome to CS, great first car!

The paint on my 5 is absurdly thin, chips like nobody’s business. I doubt the alpines any different.

The clutches lasted 242,000 miles…!

Welcome to CS 👏🏼

Since that was posted I went on to do another 80,000 miles before the TCM was replaced, then after that another 100,000 miles after that before the clutches got replaced. So basically I don’t think that was anything to really worry about 🤣 just a characteristic of the car.

Mine was a few years ago now, but probably budget £1k - £1.5k maybe? I had mine done at Renault as was one of the first to have it done, more places are equipped to code them these days.

TCM dude. I’d put money on it.

The 5 has this but if I lock it on the fob it disables that until the next time it auto locks.

I’ve found the best theft deterrent is the diamond on the front 🤣🤣

Depends where it is next year….

I only missed this year…!

they do naff all on the rears mine did over 100k

@GtirHil I ended up replacing the clutch last week at 214,880 miles. Sash’s New Learner Car thread It’s solved my ‘Clutch 2 Torque Error’ code even though on initial inspection the friction plates don’t look excessively worn but something wasn’t happy inside the pack.

Never!! I think I’m going to be buried in it when my time comes.

Not sure yet, need to get it regassed this week. I really hope so! Touch points should be between 6-9mm I think - I’m not exactly sure 🤷🏼‍♀️

Those that have driven both all say the Clio is their preferred choice 😎 In all honesty I think Moe is easier to drive than the 5. I like the CarPlay and Google maps in the 5 and the speakers are marginally better and the dash board is great for demoing bay parking 🤣 but all the ADAS 💩 can get...

Many monies. I was lucky to get a 3% off voucher code 🙌🏼 I haven't totalled the other bills yet, not sure I want to! Lol at this point RPD have had a fair whack of my money too 🙈🤣

Guess I should update this thread 😎 Shortly after the post before this one I parked the 5 up and went back to the trusty Clio (Moe) for daily duties. Despite basically doubling my expenses the charging situation was killing me mentally. The 5 basically didn’t turn a wheel for 9 months until...

When I replaced all 4 of mine I did genuine fronts and SKF (I think) rears. Probably due for replacement again soon as they were done at 132k and now being over 240k they’re probably gonna start getting noisy again!

No idea on the job. Does it need doing? Is it noisy?

No, the flap motor stays in the cold position 🤔

My AC was cool for about 15 mins (including 5 mins of idling) but then went warm when I turned off the dual carriageway. Low pressure side pipe got hot where it was cool (not freezing though) when I checked during the idling time. Sat engine off for 30 mins air cool on start up and maintained...

Did a buy from AutoDoc £66.44 delivered. Not bad to be fair, now hoping it arrives un damaged! 🤞🏼🙏🏼

How much was that if you don’t mind me asking? While my AC works, it’s a bit hit and miss and Dr Google says the dryer is farked.

That’s what mine did..!

Mine had a pinhole where it rubbed on that clip.

Is that a crack? My silicone hose that I got to replace the old knackered oem one that sits in that clip oozes oil. It’s very annoying.

Don’t do it, they’re unreliable, they’re always breaking*… *I jest.

Oh probably… I never update it! No, took the cables with the sat nav.
