Fault number two has materialised. Cruise/Speed limiter function stopped working. Diagnosed by main dealer as a faulty cabin switch, and replaced under the RAC warranty.
Bit of a pain as the main dealer in Reading has evidently closed down recently - which I hadn't realised when I bought the car. There's been at least one and often two in or on the edge of the town all my life. But today, there are none. So I had to take it to Sloughaborougha.
Upside is that the main dealer has proven to be very efficient, helpful and competent in dealing with the fault and the 3rd party warranty for me. It also gave me the opportunity to give the current range of Renaults a cursory once over. Latest Clio is very, very nice in the flesh. Looks really beautifully designed and built. Smashing interior, but it's pretty big for a "supermini". Could quite fancy one. Sadly, Renault seem finally to be jumping on the SUV bandwagon - saw what looked like an SUV-ised version of the Scenic, and something else SUVish called a Captur. Sad that the Laguna is no more in the UK, it means they have no large offering other than MPVs and SUVs now. Harumph.
Dacia Sanderos look like a proper bit of kit too.
