I purchased a Clio 3 1.5 DCI manual last summer and so far have been very happy with it. The car is efficient and easy to drive, and the amount of included features and technology is impressive.

I have a couple of queries which I was hoping you could assist with. Firstly the clutch is getting sticky and sometimes will remain down when I bring my foot up. This is solved by pushing down further and usually happens when changing to fourth or fifth gears. Is this likely to be a simple matter of the clutch pedal needing lubricating, or could it be more serious? If so, would this be a warranty matter or wear and tear?

Secondly, I have a minor issue where when starting the engine from cold in cold weather (less than 5 degrees), the revs jump up and down. My garage (Renault main dealer) has looked at this and fitted a new glow plug (the car has now had three glow plugs in 9 months) which has reduced the issue so that the revving issue is now only slight. Is there anything else which needs looking at or is this normal?
