In the morning or after left the car turned off for 10 hours or more, with 10-15ºC outside temperature you have that problem, but if there is 2ºC (for example, its below 4ºC), you dont have any problem? Is this your issue? have you tested it?

Being a Megane it may be cheaper to emmigrate to Alaska or Siberia and take the car than having it sorted :D

Good luck with getting it sorted
