Thanks, I have found what looks like an access panel held on with 2 screws so I’ll go down the “ Pot Hole” tomorrow and confirm what I find.
Renault want £90 ish for an engine air filter which is truly a joke so an after market panel filter is now fitted.
Engine and gearbox oil changed without too much drama,
The next mission is the coolant change. I notice the request for support to get Autodoc to issue the procedure. I’m going to purchase a vacuum purge kit and try it out. I haven’t found any bleed valve at the front of the car yet.
I’ll let you all know the success (or failure!)

Finally found it.
It is as already said in the passengers footwell at the very back next to the bulkhead.
1 Remove the access panel to the fuse box
2 remove the plastic kick plate that is fixed to the centre tunnel. Mine came off quite easily but with a dim pull starting towards the back of the car.
3 the filter is behind the small access door which is secured with 2 self tapping screws and are a bast…d to get out as you are working blind with the top screw. I’ve show a photo of the panel.
4 remove the filter. These are jammed into the aperture so you have to work it out of the hole and fitting the new one is also awkward as you have to squeeze the filter in. Some Reno cars have the same problem if you look on YouTube.
5 Refit the 2 screws.
6 Replace the kick panel and fuse cover. I put a bit of Vaseline onto all of the plastic fixings to make it easier to fit and remove next time but don’t make a mess!
