I couldn't agree more, although you could argue they are pocket rockets Renault should not have to employ scientists to work on them eh?!!!!! :s
 
Well Well WELL....... after so many leaks, over heating, and trips to the stealers, they finally tell me its the water pump that has buggered,,,,,,,, well i hope its this.....
 
was thinking that my self, as there aint no easy way of gettin in there lol.... al let them sort it, sorry al rephrase, i prey to god they CAN sort it
 
:( Doesn't sound good! Mine runs slightly above half but no more than that! I'm about to try this wetter water stuff, we used to run a similar produce in the karts.
