A few things electrical (wipers and computer)...

[coffee_bean]

Hey all.

I have a Clio, bought new last month, and have a few questions for you. Note that I am in France (with work) and imported it brand new, but cheap, and so missed a thing or two:

A) The computer is in French, which isn't too hard to understand, but is there any way to make it English?

B) I thought it had auto wipers/ lights but they don't appear to work, so I guess not. The manual says to push in a button on the end of the stalk for 5 seconds, but the button isn't there. Is there any way to add this feature, as the sensor appears to be installed?

C) Quick and dirty - how do you change the wipers without chipping the bonnet, as I did!!!

It's a 1.5 dCi 85 Extreme with Auto AC.

Thanks!!

how did you chip the bonnet changing wipers?

I was in the mountains, and the car got covered in snow. I lifted the left wiper (driving one) and found afterwards that its arm interferes with the bonnet. It scraped paint off the edge of the bonnet at that point. Everything seems to be in the right place, so I assume there is a "Renault" way to do what I thought was a simple job!

The exact car is: Clio III Exception 2 Clim Auto - 1.5 dCi 85 Eco2

(Sorry, not Extreme, as I thought)

Do the UK models not have this problem for changing wipers?
