Renault Clio Problems

Renault spokeswoman, Emily Fadeyev, says: "The brake fluid leaking in Mr Gibson's Clio is not the normal operation of a Clio. Our head office customer service team have been in contact with Mr Gibson since we became aware of this issue and we've asked him to take his vehicle to the nearest dealership so they can investigate what is happening with his car. The dealer has been advised to ensure Mr Gibson has a loan car so he isn't inconvenienced further".

Yes, you should. It's not being caused by the spark plugs, that's a red herring, it's most likely a problem with the sensor itself or the wiring.

The Polo is the best car on your list — and until the end of the year it is selling for $15,990 driveaway — but you should include the Honda Jazz, which is even better value for money.

Using the 'goo' as you call it will not affect the tyre, which will be perfectly useable after being repaired, providing of course it has not been damaged when it was deflated after being punctured. It is, however, a bit of a job to clean it out of the tyre. I would stick with the 'goo' and not spend the money on the spare, jacks and tools. They are not of much use if you can't carry them with you.

NO, IT isn't acceptable to run different diameter wheels and I would recommend you don't do it. We contacted Renault Australia on your behalf and they said your car should have five wheels of the same size. They don't understand why the problem wasn't fixed under warranty. I suggest you return to your dealer with this information and ask for the odd-sized wheel to be replaced.
