"Great runner in a smart looking package"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rear wheel bearing and alternator went this year, but apart from service stuff, this car has been a gem.

Strange leak from around the interior light console.

My son had a 1.2 and the difference is immense. The RT 1.4 is a much more sure-footed animal.

I am thinking of putting it on blocks and re-furbing it over the winter.

General comments?

Lovely driver, wider tyres make a big difference to performance.

Fuel consumption is poor around town, but OK on the open road.

A bit ordinary inside.

My Clio (1996, 1.4 RT) has the same problem with the leak from the interior light console. This must be a leak from the sunroof, I find it only happens if I park the car facing downhill in heavy rain over night (I guess the rain runs to the front of the sunroof seal and gets into the console somehow). Parking it facing uphill solves the problem!
