When did Renault begin charging extra for white?
When did Renault begin charging extra for white?
Late in September I ordered a new Renault Clio for delivery at the beginning of this month. In early October I changed the colour to white, which was not a problem to the dealer. I was informed last week that it would not be available until the end of this month. Since then I've seen on the Renault website that they are now charging €540 extra for a white Clio, whereas when I placed my order the extra charge did not apply to white. However, as my original order was for a colour that carried the extra charge I would not be surprised if the dealer tried to hit me for this extra and consequently am wondering when precisely Renault introduced it.
Thanks, E K Dublin

What's your opinion on the 2009 Toyota Yaris?
Hi,
I would like buy a 2009 Toyota Yaris 1.0-litre manual. It has a Toyota service history service. Is 100k miles too much for its three-cylinder engine? What is average price, please?
Thanks. Sean

Why does my Renault Clio keep failing its NCT?
I recently put a 1995 Renault Clio through an NCT test and it failed on the rear shock absorber, driver's side. Despite the car being 20 years old it only has 56k miles on the clock. In its very first test it had about 12,000 miles on the clock and it failed on the back shocks as well. In a subsequent test it also failed on rear shocks. The car is not being used for any heavy hauling and there is nothing unusual about its usage apart from it not being used very much that is!
This will be the third time the rear shocks require replacing. I am thinking that the problem is with the NCT test equipment and not the shock absorbers. What do you think?
