You've got that back to front, air travelling over a curved surface causes low pressure and hence lift, just like an aeroplane wing. So when you are moving the air is actually trying to pull the bonnet open, not force it shut.

Hi Nick, you have gone off topic here.
Post your question as a new thread in this section, I'm sure someone will help you.

unlike with other recalls, renault aren't paying the dealers for the time and parts to carry this job out, like a normal warranty claim. Their answer to the dealers for this was something along the lines of 'this is a sales opportunity'. most dealer do a 25 point check when you car enters the workshop and then theres the ppl in the showroom trying to sell you stuff.
Also the recall documentation is worded in a way that puts full responsibility on the mechanic. The words "in your opinion" are used a number of times. Renault have just shifted the blame again for their poor design and shoody materials.

when they've done the recall they'll stick an ugly big blue label under your bonnet marked k4.

But to be fair thats all thats needed.....
But if you were having your car serviced at a decent garage you shouldnt need to anyway, as it should be lubed at each service! at the minute we are checking every single clio that comes into the workshop! even if the customer doesnt request it, quick look and lube up, tbh you would be suprised at the amount that actually need attention!
just out of interest, who checks there own tyre pressures?! the amount of tyres we get that are sooooo low on pressure its scary!
thing is, with low profile tyres there can be hardly any pressure in them and they look ok!, could also cause a serious accident!

Sir, the reason you crashed is because the tyre rolled off the rim whilst cornering due to low tyre pressure.........

I took mine in, everything was fine, tho i had some worry before hand due to the watchdog prog, they checked the car over and found i had a broken front spring, I said thank you very much and took it to a garage who did it cheaper than the dosh they wanted

Although its quite remote from past experience if you have someone learning to drive in your car and want to take their test in it, or if your a driving instructor its VERY important you get the bonnet checked out as the car won't be allowed out on the driving test without a signed letter from Renault confirming the bonnet's been checked, or a MOT dated after February this year.
