Frosty,
BenR is correct. Thrash the nuts off it. I did from about 150 miles on the CUP and now its done 950 miles and has not gone bang yet. If there was a running in period Renualt could not have a 12K 1st service. The Scoobys 1st service is @ 1K and thats only an oil change as they put different oil in to flush the engine for the 1st 1K miles.
Also, check the tyre pressures. I asked the dealer if they had checked them and they said yes. Last week on here, I was commenting in the tramlining issue and hard ride. So on Saturday, I had the 1st real opportunity to check a few things out on the car and one of them was to take it to one of those new digital read-out air thingys at Esso and found, wait for it,,,,,, that the fronts were on 38psi and the rears on 35psi,,,, not 33 & 30 as the handbook reccommends!!!!!!! Safe to say they are changed an has impoved things massively.
So moral of the story,,,,,, go thrash it!!!!!!
