yes it drips from the headlining. Under the seats and the rear footwells are soaking because it runs down the c pillars under the carpeting.

Hatches don't have these problems.

Mopped out a load of water that was under the rear seat with a big towel, smells lovely.

I also changed the cam cover gasket. As per usual this turned into a right arsehole of a job and the gasket that was there wasn't leaking either. The oil on the engine must be the remnants of the old leak before I put this what I thought to be slightly dodgy used gasket on it.

Why do I waste my time?

well just been out in it.

Totally died in the middle of a particularly dodgy junction. right int he middle of whats a crossroads with traffic leavign and joinign the motorway and a A road. Right int he middle, dead as a dodo.

Had to push the car backwards myself even though there were plenty of cars thus people at my self made traffic jam into a housing car park thingy. Its not easy.

Fuel pump not primign at all, so got out jiggled wires, nothing doing. Removed the relay and bridged the contact pump came on nothing doing again. So plugged it back in and it started fine.

It done this to me yesterday as well, gign up a hill to a junction dipped the clutch it stalled but started again with a bump. Thought nothing of it really aside from shout at it.

Was out for a wee drive last night no problems, this morning no problems only there.

Relays out I think for an inspection and I will also solder in a new section of loom. Renault put the imobbiliser right up against the wiring plug so I will have to remove the pin and deal with it.
