• Renault Clio - Advice rejecting 23 plate Clio alpine esprit 15 Jan 2024 (Forum)
  Can I reject the car or does it have to be rejected within 30 days. 7 days of this was the master technician trying to work out what was wrong with the car. I’m led to believe changing a clutch on an automatic hybrid is not an easy task as well. The car no longer feels new to us. A new car is also 4 month back order. Any input or advice would be appreciated.
