Re: Engine revs and noise 1.2L Austral

Well you made me laugh with the canal barge comment for a start. Regarding the noise, i have noticed it's louder than a 4cyl 1.2 for sure, I kind of like the noise these 3cyl make though otherwise I'd have no idea it was on. I've not gone full doctor like your goodself yet so I'm not sure if it's ju...

Re: Distinguishing your Austral from others.....ULEZ etc

ULEZ is just another tax for regular folk, why would we ever think they would apply it competently?

Re: Puddle lights

Concur with Mr Rugby, the Renault diamond is shone on the ground. Base your regen on the battery level, I put it to max when a 1/4 charge is indicated regardless of urban driving or not. I guess everyone has their own way of doing things.

Re: Petrol accumulates in motor oil of full hybrid engine

Not sure if it's a widespread issue yet but it's certainly concerning from the varied geographical loca...
