Agree completely that in general this area would benefit from a bit of attention with cleaning and waxing, it will certainly help.

I have heard from a few sources now, including the body shop that did my repair that the rust in this particular area of the car is often caused by the rear window actually dropping over time. There was no gap at all between the bottom glass of the rear window and the boot lid on my car, so the...

Thank you for that, I will definitely contact him!

It was something I noticed only after buying the car. Looks like the car has hit a large rock or something underneath the bumper at the front, which cracked the front bumper under tray. The crack in the undertray has broken the front mounting brackets off for the wheel arch liner, so the liner...

No problem. I have been lurking on this forum for ages, draining it of information...about time I gave a bit back. No they didn't drive my car, just visual inspections. Good luck with it :)

All I would say is take all your paperwork and all the history you do have to the dealer and have the car looked at. Tell them that you know of other owners that have had this work approved under warranty by Renault UK. If the dealer gives you resistance then try contacting Renault UK directly...

I just wanted to share my experience with you guys. My car is an 07 plate Clio 197. I have had the car for two years and it's in lovely condition overall, apart from rust which had developed on the rear tailgate, just under the rear window wiper. This car is 11 years old but covered by a 12...

Under "Advanced Settings" for the vehicle: btw, if I miss fields below, it's because mine are left blank: Fuel Take Capacity: 55l Brake Specific Fuel Efficiency: .23 (don't miss the ".",that was my mistake!) Volumetric Efficiency: I am testing a value of "60" but just leave yours blank Tire...

This will give you an idea of the apps look and feel and the data on offer.

No worries and yeh, sure. I'll post my settings up on this post when I am not using my phone like I am now, will be later today.
