Right, I've got a 2004 04 1.2 Dynamique, which didnt come with an owners manual, so I bought 1 from Renault which ended up being a June 2005 edition, as this is the only Clio II manual they apparently now sell.
was reading about the oil display, i.e. basically when you start the car up, for 30 seconds the mileage display isnt displayed instead you get "OIL OK" fair enough, anyway, the owners manual says that while "oil ok" is displayed if you press the end of the wiper stalk (i.e. the button that scrolls through the trip computer functions) then it will show you an approximate reading of your oil level in the format of squares to indicate the level e.g. "OOOOOO oil" means the oil level is at its maximum "000--- oil" means its half full, "------ oil" means you need to top up etc.
so I tried it, started the car, got the OIL OK message, pressed the trip computer button on the end of the wiper stalk and it didnt show me my approx oil level instead OIL OK went away and my mileage came up as normal.
secondly, in the owners manual it shows a picture of and says you should have 2 time clocks, 1 in the radio/outside temperature bit and 1 showing the time just below your mileage read out, whereas my car only has the 1 in with the radio and outside temp display theres nothing displayed below my mileage display.
is it simply because my car is older than the cars the book was originally intended for i.e. 05 plate cars as its a June 2005 edition and the later cars had more/different features.
lastly, is it just me or are the cup holders in the centre console just infront of the ashtray/fag lighter useless, I put a can of juice in 1 of them the other day, drove away, turned a corner and the can tipped over spilling its contents everywhere
