Okay i have had my Meg CC for just under a month now, not that i have driven it much as i have been away! Not too impressed so far as i have been having loads of problems!

Firstly the roof rattles are driving me mad! My dad says its just body flex but im not convinsed it should be that bad/loud!

Secondly my brakes are scretching abit, i think they just need cleaning but still annoying!

Thirdly, i have keyless entry, when you get in the car but foot on brake/clutch and start from cold it fires up okay but it doesnt sound like it is firing properly?? When you lightly press the accelerator it cancels this out and it iddles properly, dont know if this is spark plugs?? Im not sure.

Fourthly, When putting the roof down you have the plastic cover which comes down between rear seats and boot, this works okay except for when in the last stage this flap comes down and the boot lid folds over the small plastic lip and secures it. Well this is what it should do! My plastic cover comes down to late so just sits on the painted boot lid instead of under it. Im hoping this is just an adjustment! I hope you know what i mean!!!

Moving on! When you have the roof down the car seems to shake alot, again my pa thinks this is just body flex typical of convertibles, i cant comment as ive never had one before! Is this normal?? The last owner did put 2 budget tyres on the front so i think this doesnt help so might swap for the contis on the back.

Finally saving the best for last!!!!

The roof leaks!!!! Stuck it through the car wash for the first time on friday and i got soaked! Was gutted as i knew this might happen but hoped not to me! The water leaked just above the windowscreen pillar, from where the window meets the rubber seals. It ****ed all over the me and the passenger seat so both sides in the same place. Easily fixed??

This is it for now i think. Took the car back the trader saturday who is going to take it to a Reanult dealer in the week to get them to look at. He was really good about it and has given me a Ford Puma for a week :mad:
As you can tell im not too happy, hopefully it will be all sorted but has put me off the car now and beginning to regret it! :(

Sorry to hear all the problems your having.

Are you registered on Megane CC forum? There might be some advice on there to help some of the problems?

when i had my cc,the roof does make a slight noise due to body flex and the brakes use to squel like hell,think this is the norm with cc as i had a independent renault garage have a look and he said he could find nothing wrong with them,there was plenty of cooper slip on them and there were no stones in there and the pads and disc were good,he couldnt find why they squeled so i just lived with it

The roof leaking has been in issue since day 1 with the megane cc. Its an issue with the rubber seals. Might be a fix for it by now.

ok i spoke to renault today to get the history of the car warranty work etc and they basically told me that my car had been in and out of the dealers since day one! They advised me that all the normal recalls and solutions they know of have been tried! To cut a long story short i have decided to sell it back to the dealer and cut my losses! I lose £500 in the month of ownership but i figger it is better to take the hit now than have all the probs!

i know im going to come across as harsh but, the roof leak is a common prob and a easy fix under warrenty,
as is the cover that missis its window,
brakes might be where its left for a while and wen all the craps burned of its built up in the calliper and pads and is just rubbing and sqeeking, just a clean is needed for this,



and ill stop there as just read you last post,£500 loss, sell it and get another one,
or
say to the dealer waver the £500 and ill get another one from you.
so you just start again on the finance or how ever you do it and you jump into a new/newer one :D
