This is a call out to any other austral owners. I own a 23 plate austral and it has broken down already after only 5000 miles. Had the RAC out today and he said this is the 3rd austral he has attended recently and all of them have had the same problem as mine. A yellow injection problem fault shows up on the dash and the engine misfires. Mine registered as cylinder 3 fault. Coil and sparkplug ok. If many more have the same fault, surely renault will have a recall of all austral vehicles.
Looking at the auto wipers, they have a tardy response to droplets on windscreen. A Qashqai wipers are almost instant response. My Scenic 2014 Mk3 auto wipers are terrible. I have to manually flick them on light rain. The manual wipers are best as you can gap them. If you only do town driving then your bty won't get enough charge?
Did they? I've always called them wing mirrors. No one told me, or a even a Govt announcement about this very important fact. The Wing is more about what you are seeing rather than attachment to. Imagine a wing on a plane & that's what you are seeing in outline & behind you tail wing. A fighter jet alongside another, gets called a Wingman. Wing Mirrors are the correct terminology.

0:37. Wing mirrors ? They went out in the 80's.
The big clue is they are on the doors and not the wings!
What are they called though? 😂😘
