Checking Dialogys - Other work carried out :

December 2023 - First A Service carried out

In January 2024 the rear axle fix was carried out (Actis bulletin)
In June 2024 there was a guided fault fix carried out on the windscreen washer front/rear system - OBD light on

Nothing concerning really.

Hope that helps.

Really looking forward to the Megane arriving now.
All going well it should be delivered on the 27th of September.
Some really useful threads on this forum, enjoying reading everyone’s experiences.
I’ve got the my Renault app on my phone now, some nice guide and tips videos on there.
Here’s a couple of pictures of the car.

Looks absolutely fab! And they've managed to mount the front number plate in the right place as well.

Yours is Identical in colour to our own Launch edition.

Check the alloys carefully for any kerbing or damage. Diamond cut alloys are very susceptible to water ingress and corrosion under the lacquer (white worm).

Thanks Rencar, yes, love the ceramic grey colour.
Thanks for tip regarding the alloys, the 45% profile tyres certainly won’t offer much protection against curbing.

Well “Ronnie” arrived on Friday, my wife always names her cars, and we are both very pleased with it.
We were both apprehensive about buying a car without seeing it, and apart from a couple of scuffs on the bodywork and there being no 3 pin charger included then the car has surpassed our expectations and more.
I’ve emailed the dealer and hopefully they will sort the issues for us.
It was driven here by a delivery driver and the range was showing as 17 miles when it arrived.
We are still waiting for our charger to be installed so went straight to our local Ionity rapid charger, it took just over an hour to charge up to 90% and cost just under £40.
First time charging an electric vehicle and I know it’s convenient with the rapid DC charger but it’s quite pricey.
We have an old 3.7kw POD charger in the garage so I’ve ordered a type 1 charger to type 2 EV cable so we can use it until our new charger is installed.
Looks like it will take 16 hours to charge.
Anyway, here’s a couple of pictures after I’d washed it as it was filthy after the 300 mile delivery.

On Facebook, he has posted a lot of info about his Megane over his time owning it!

Good morning.
Do you think you could find out who the previous owner is?
Just i wouldn’t mind asking if they had the car ceramic coated.
When I washed it the water dripped off quite well so I’m wondering if it has been done.
I would like to get it ceramic coated but seam’s pointless if it’s already been done.
