Love the car, really quick once it's warmed up and it looks the business. My one in particular hasn't a mark on the bodywork and the wheels are as new. It will need 4 new tyres soon but other than that it's great.
there are however a few niggles and questions I have that I'd like advice/help with.....
1. there is a loud noise coming from the steering going from lock to lock when still or moving slowly. It sounds like a really loud squeaky floorboard. I've heard it's probably just knuckle joint or something needing replaced or lubricated so as long as it's not serious I'm not too worried about it. The car is going in to get a load of stuff done to it in 2 weeks anyway so im confident it will be sorted then.
2. I noticed today that the tyres on the car are different sizes. 225/45/17 at the front and 215/45/17 at the back. What is the correct size for the cup with anthracite wheels?
3. It has the standard Renault single CD player but nothing comes up to put the code in, this will be more than likely replaced with a new Renault head unit for free anyway but it's a strange problem. I've took the radio out and checked all the connections and they look fine and the radio lights up when the lights are on and it makes a beep when buttons are pressed on it, but the code input thing doesn't come up on the dash display.
4. One of the dash lights behind the heater controls is very dim. Is this easily replaced?
5. While it's in with Renault I'm getting the mirrors sprayed racing blue but I can't decide if I want the black side strips racing blue or put in a carbon wrap to match the front splitter, or even sprayed black. But bare plastic looks sh*te. Any thoughts?
Hope you wise chaps can help.

and by cheap I mean more than likely free, including the spraying and new radio etc.
