54 Plate 1.9dci Tourer - Only 35MPG?

Hi all, I have a 54 plate 1.9dci Megane Estate (120bhp) which, according to the trip computer, I'm only getting around 35mpg for. The figures for this model suggest I should be getting 52mpg. This is mostly around town with the occasional 200mile trip to London. Should I take this to a garage for in...

Re: Stickies for fuel consumption

I had a 1.5dci 106bhp 3 door which average 54mpg around town. We've swapped to a 1.9dci 120bhp estate because of a growing family but now only get between 37-39mpg in town. On a motorway trip it goes up to around 45mpg. This seems low and I'm concerned it may indicate a problem. I've read one other ...

Dull Drone from rear of car, louder at speed

Since picking up our used Megane 3 door 1.5dci (100bhp) we've noticed a dull drone coming from the rear of the car at speeds of around 40mph or more. Around 60-70 it gets loudest. It doesn't appear linked to the engine as it remains when the clutch is depressed or I lift of the accelerator. We had a...

Cheers, its out of the official 3 year warranty so I'll ask my local garage. At the 54k mark is there anything particularly special that is serviced?

Also, if you get a service whilst its still under the used dealers warranty, can anything major that's picked up be repaired under that warranty?

Service at a Renault dealer?

I wasn't sure where to post this so forgive me if its in the wrong place :) What are peoples recommendations when it comes to a full service? Is it best to visit an official Renault dealer or are they vastly over priced? Is there a standard service charge before any maintenance work and what's the g...

Thanks for the advice. I was thinking about the warranty. They partner with Black Horse on this aspect.

Thanks, there is a service history but I've not looked through it. I'll pop back to the dealer and check it over some more :)

Average mileage after 3 years? (And spare wheel query)

I've been to see a lovely condition 3 door 1.5dci 100bhp 54 plate Megane, however it has 53k on the clock and is £6750. It drove lovely and I'm still tempted, but it feels a bit expensive. What's the average sort of mileage for a diesel after 3 years? I'm thinking around the 30-37k mark? Edit:...
