So after a conversation with RUK this evening about the front bumper issue, they're refusing to fix it as it has signs of repair - e.g. some overspray.
I've been doing some research though, as I knew I'd seen a post on here with a similar fault. Anyway, I found it. Forum user MikeCracknell.
So we'll see where I get with this one.
Bloody car.

What a nightmare!! Glad you kept at it and finally got somewhere. Really takes the shine off an otherwise excellent car though I guess. Can understand why you are getting rid.
Dont automatically think that German = Quality though. I have had lots of different makes of cars over the years from vauxhall to citroen and now my Ph1 172. What I would say is before the Clio I had a Mk4 Golf and it was a complete piece of crap! Easily the worst car i have owned. Yeah the doors are heavy and they make a solid clunk when you close them but as far as paint quality and electrical gremlins go it was shocking!!
Just goes to show you can get a "bad" from any manufacturer.
As someone said in an earlier post, It sounds like you have a "Friday afternoon" car.

So half an hour ago I picked up the pretty blue shed from it's, I hoped, last visit to my stealers. It was due back yesterday, but they wanted to give it a 'road test' before letting me have it.
I pulled into the car park and there was the shed all gleaming. Alloys are mint after being refurbed my SEM in Sunderland. Gear box feels ok, I expect it needs a longer drive than the 5 miles home for me to get a good feel for whether it's actually any better.
Pulled up outside my house, parked up, looked at the driver side rear alloy and low and behold the centre cap is missing! Roffle. Just rang them, and they have to order me another one
, so in fact, it won't be the shed's last visit to them. C'est la vie.

They said it was on, and it will have come off en route home. They're still ordering me one for nothing so we'll see how it goes. Although I'm wondering what'll happen with the centre cap - as I'm sure the alloys won't be the exact same colour as Renault painted them, so the cap might have to go to SEM in Sunderland to be painted. FLOL!
In the mean time I'm driving round like a pikey cnut missing a centre cap! Tusk!
