The more that get delivered, means more will soon be delivered.

I have got nothing against anyone who turns up at a dealer to look at/consider a new car. But what Renault have done in respect of the Priority List Customers is a disgrace. 2nd class deliveries, components missing and yet regular customers are already driving Meganes.

Crap.

Thanks, i'll have to paint over the light then if it doesn't go out if I don't have a passenger.

One thing which is odd or I'm going mad(er) is that I understood the car had a 5 year warranty.
Everything I look at in the paperwork and the app shows 3 years.

Is that an error from Renault, I wouldn’t have bought it if 3 years was all they gave and I'm already considering rejecting the car and buying a cheap ICE.

Thanks

Right then, a few of us actually have the car.
I'm probably the closest to rejecting it for a whole list of reasons but the dealer seems to think they can put it all right.

How many people are still waiting?
If you are, do you have a robust list of things to check for before accepting the car, originally the plan was to go to inspect the car but what with delays I couldn't.
Even though renault tell you they check everything at the factory, import centre and the dealership do too it seems they actually don't and the check list they go through just seems to be a chilly muppet ticking boxes and crumpling up the paperwork and manual before moving on to the next car.
Bristol street motors should have noticed that the boot hatch is wonky and should have noticed everything was set to french and that the tyres were under inflated but I guess they just assumed the import centre were doing what they're meant to do. A typical example of people not bothering to do their job because they assumed the person before them did bother to do theirs

So the moral is check everythjng yourself, in daylight and don't trust anyone to be competent.

Thanks,
I always seem to get either problematic cars or dealers that are rubbish.
With the Mokka it was both.

Thinking about your checklist you should definitely make sure you mention the standard warranty in case it's the dealer copying stuff over from the paperwork. Don't trust that everything that should have been checked has been and if you have a long drive home it's worth making sure the tyre pressures are accurate. I think they deflated mine but reinflated them all to 34 PSI whereas the setting should be 36 rear and 38 at the front.
Without checking the non existant manual I can't say if that should change if fully laden.

Hopefully your handover will be a lot smoother.

Thanks, I did see it before but it seems to be loads and loads of guff about strapping a child seat in followed by a couple of pages that I was too tired to read after scrolling through all the babyseat stuff.
I'll take another look after a couple of redbulls, it should be in colour and printed out with a goldleaf renault badge for LE owners and silver for the other models.

A link on a website isnt much yse when in the middle of nowhere.

Cheers,

I agree with what your saying, I know I only have a techno, so wasn't expecting anything I didn't get but I'm really enjoying my car.
I had an MG4 on order and cancelled, you want to know issues go onto the MGEV forum and into the MG4 section and see what they are putting up with, what's worse is the atrocious attitude of mguk and some dealers
They have oil leaks, I'll fitting trim, random power loss, damaged tyres, shambles of an infotainment system, lane assist program that a dealer has described makes the car behave like "Christine"
Owners only getting 2 miles per kw.
The worst one a car that is deadlocking itself and sounding the alarm with occupants within. The only way out is to drop the back seats and activate the emergency boot release. Nothing else works! And there have been several reports of this

Okay not driven yet but spent the last hour in the infotainment.....and interior

• Sound superb -- Harman Kardon...excellent
• Seat adjustment all manual bar Lumber support (electric)...
• Apple Carplay over BT perfect and Local Android setup ....all relatively easy....Wifi same... all the Android bits do ....
• Android Developer mode is disabled unless u email Development at Renault
• Android 10 Q (2019)... so a good bit behind.
• app store, limited but some apps...Spofiy/Amazon Music/Plug Share but Video limited etc.
• You can turn off the auto Keyfob entry....so secure...
• Heated Steering and Seats all good. (Seat pressure sensors turn it off if empty etc...)
• Screen is really too small the "Scrolling" ...Swipe up for Music....will take ages to get down a list as the area available for swipe is even smaller due to the top bar and bottoms heater ac controls
• Massive gap between the arm rest and the storage tray/tunnel below....Would have been useful for a cover on top of that... so I can put a cleaning cloth tissues etc.and the keyfob...
