Bit late to the party (sorry to see the damage... bummer). Surprised that the paintless dent repair folks said that they could not do anything. As I had a similar dent on the crease line of my front wheel arch of my new Focus ST (front wheel arch though). And though they said it might be...

Think that might have been me. My wheel bolts rusted like yours after only a few months. Complained to the garage and they blamed me (IE. must have used something like an acid based wheel cleaner ... which I had not). Contacted Renault Customer Support and in the end got a voucher for £100 that...

I would tend to agree with the above comments myself (none cup owner at the moment myself).

At least it no longer looks like a GIANT vibrator ;/

Unluckily... Dream on ☺ The extra torque etc. Is only available on the later euro6 complient cars (different turbo among other changes) . Its not just a re-map. But if you want more power, then there are a number of third part companies out there that can help you out. RS Tuning probably being...

Indeed. 260Nm rather than 240Nm. Lost in translation, as they say :giggle:

Unluckily not. I asked RS Customer Support about this at one point and they said "not a retrofit".

Don't forget that the latest 200t's now come with slightly more torque (20Nm I believe), the shorter throw paddles and the improved gearbox map from the Trophy. Plus if you are really lucky and get one of the very latest ... you will get the revised gear selection lever (this one at least looks...

But this is the thing. It "is" (or rather should be) a simple job. The problem is with some dealers service dept.s ... that are just plain bloody useless. Mind you, I could point that finger across pretty much all manufacturers here. Worst two cars I had, were both VAG products (a Seat and a VW)...

GOOD GOD. What a farce and a nightmare for you. Specialist job my arse. If my local Arnold Clark garage can do the job properly, then I think that speaks volumes about the level of difficulty! Good luck getting the paintwork sorted properly. I've seen some awful jobs done on cars in LY.

That's not very good service at all! The missing parts will be the Bonding kit. Cant understand why they would not make sure that they had this before booking your car in!! Also funny how some dealers are saying that they need the car for the complete day. Mine went in at 8.30 am and I got a...

Looks like it varies from dealer to dealer. As mine said just the opposite. Not only supplied a courtesy car. But it even had, god forbid, some fuel in it. They also waived the usual £10 charged for insurance. And this was an Arnold Clark dealership!

Same rattle in mine (IE. cover over rear wiper motor etc.). Just loosened the screws and carefully placed a few double sided sticky pads between the plastic and the metal boot lid (similar solution to above I suppose) and re-tightened the screws. Rattles / creaking noise gone.

I had a shot in one out of interest when I was looking to buy the RS Clio EDC. But as already commented ... I thought the engine was the weak point. Pretty coarse when pushed and seemed to run out of steam quite quickly. Brakes I also thought were a bit weak (IE. no real feel or progression to...
