think u should be more worried bout once youve got it and u take it in for its service whether u get it back in one peice cos renault garages are renound for there sh*t care when comes to customers cars - i know this cos im the ones that get the complaints !

Mine is in at the moment getting the idle issue sorted.

According to Renault(my dealer) its not a problem and is only occuring because the car is run very lean to keep emissions down. To fix it they can increase the idle rpm form 750 to 780 and this cures the problem.
