What things have gone wrong with the car?

Oil leak 2 weeks after picking up car.

Gearbox very tight and crunches in reverse.

Petrol leak.

Whistling from wing mirrors at speed.

Windscreen washers packed up.

Front passenger head rest broke.

General comments?

Design of car brilliant, shame about after sales service from Renault, hopefully they will sort out my gearbox problems this time.

Despite all the things I have had go wrong with the car, I would not be put off buying another one.

I have bought a 2nd hand Scenic Megane from a Renault dealer and my gears crunch when going into reverse. I have complained to the dealer who has replaced the clutch twice and had the gearbox checked by a specialist and Renault themselves, the response

"Your Scenic is performing correctly as per manufacturer guidelines when reverse gear is selected appropriately. Operator methods may affect the smoothness of this selection"

Yet their head mechanic has done this also the service manager!!!

Also the brakes groan when you press the brake pedal when the car is stationary, these have been stripped and cleaned several times all TNA

Anyone else with a similar problem.

Darren.
