well mines been back to the dealers for its first problem done 4.5k, lol, god i love renaults.
apparently im getting dust/crap building up on the rear brakes as the french fcukers have done away with the plate that protects the rear discs/calipers. they have cleaned up the brakes and greased up with the copper stuff!!!
will see what the future holds, not looking good though, the mrs wants rid already she doesnt see it as renault charactor lol...........

Your about the 100th person with this same problem. I take it that when you sit stationary in traffic and then move off again you can hear the breaks rubbing/squeaking.
Im letting my problems build up. The list gets bigger. Ill be getting rid of it in 2 years or so anyways i facny A Meggy 250 or a Honda DC5, Civic FN2 or S2000.

Refering to your car or your mother?
exactly the problem, more anoying little thinngs than worrying.
did think it was a rear bearing at first, regular jet washing should get rid of the build up, good excuse to keep the car clean topped up with polish tbh.....
Yeah ive started cleaning mine and ive not had the problem, not cleaned it for about 2 weeks now and still no problem.
When i say the clutch is an annoyance, its so god damm SLOW, miles slower than my 1.2 mk2. The gearbox seems to have sorted itself out and loosened up but the clutch.......still s**t SLOW.
Jase the seats are just plain uncomfy, they dont recline far enough (neither did the MK2 Dynamique i had but this is worse) and they dont support your arse. I may buy a set of recaros.

I like the seats, for me the support is excellent, but I'm also missing the reach adjustment. If I was ordering the car I would have paid for the card that includes the reach adjustment, but I was in a hurry and bought the car they had in the showroom.
The other thing is, the reach adjustment will only extend the wheel an inch more in it's max position (I've measured and compared this with the Clio 200 that had the reach adjustment). I'm looking to insert a spacer/hub, just can't find one that would fit a factory steering wheel. Tried to ask in this thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=465261, but no luck. I don't really want to go with after market wheel. Not only do I like the GT steering wheel (the same as in Clio RS), I don't want to loose the airbag either.

The seats should recline all the way back untill the rear bench gets in the way....

i really want to try mk2 -60mm springs but dont want to pay out £100 for them not to fit and have to mess around selling them on/sending them back.
my list for jan is...
lower 45mm on pi springs (more if i can find a cheap way other than forking out £600 plus on coilovers)
H&R 20mm hubcentric spacers x4
french pressed plates
silvervisions
then for the summer shows i may get
carbon bonnet
colour code wing mirrors/bullets
new wheels
viper/cda induction kit samco'd to current location of battery with caf
manifold back exhaust/200 cell sports cat
match/paint inlet
remap if available
relocate battery to boot
disc/pad/fluid upgrade
do some trackdays
