At the end of this video, you'll hear me say that my Jogger is due for its first service. So today, off I jogged down to the local Renault dealership to book the Jogger in for its first service at 3000 km. I have always thought that that service interval was a bit short, but reckoned that it must some kind of free post-sales “see if all is ok and the car is doing what it's supposed to” kind of inspection. The lady at the reception was baffled. “Have you really done that many kilometres already!?” She asked. I proudly said, “Yes, 3000!” and showed her the service schedule. She grinned the widest grin, said nothing and with a perfectly manicured fingernail, pointed at the service interval chart. I reached for my glasses and what I had previously seen and read to be 3000 was actually 30000. So, with tail tucked, I apologised and made a run for the door, jumped in my Jogger and left their garage forecourt as if I had just stolen it. Oops! 😂

Your Jogger, is a lovely car... That S.O.S. Button, is really nifty- very clever (and a great addition)... as is the Blind Spot Warning touch. Shocked about the saving difference of running the car on ECO mode (thanks for the tip) given that I'd always looked on ECO modes as gimmicky- but clearly that's not the case. Love your channel... All the best to you and yours in 2023! 😊

Thanks, you too 👍

We have been using 2016 Dacia Lodgy 1.6 SCe LPG for 6 years. Totalled by a tram from the side. Ended up selling with 75 000 km for 10k €, previously bought for 13,5 k €. Not so bad... Used Dacias got a lot higher in price in 2022 Now we got Renault Grand Scénic 3 1.4 TCe LPG. It's much better in pretty much everything except 4 things: 1) getting in an out if you are taller because of the quickly sloping roof/windscreen compared to other MPVs 2) also noticed in Scenic III clutch pedal is a lot higher than footrest so it's nearly impossible to operate it in higher or harder shoes. especially for taller persons. 3) Front of the car is not shaped to park easily. You gotta be very carefull while parking because you have no idea what the distance is. (Atleast it has got sensors there)+ Bottom part of front side windows is a bit higher like in SUV. And they get dirty in winter because of windscreen shape. Jogger should be Lodgy size. They made it a lot narrower using Sandero base and it's not for 5/7 people but more like 4/6 + dog in the middle. No more 3 child seats in such a compact car... After Scenic and Grand Scenic IV will be discontinued there will not be any affordable MPV than Jogger. However it can still be good. When you add some noise insolation, it can still be good people carrier for even distant travels abroad.

Apparently, there is a sizeable difference in RRP between a same-spec 2022 Jogger and 2023 Jogger by some £1000 or more. The Scenic is a very popular model of MPV throughout Europe and I would like to think that Renault will be launching a brand-new MPV/SUV along the same lines. Thanks for watching #HowToBloke 👍

the "annoying" plastic bit that you can get your foot stuck on looks like the obd port, you or a mechanic can access the cars computer brain using this port by plugging in a obd reader/reset device to check any faults etc Mines behind a trim panel and a pain to get to. I've purchased one as minimal cost and can be useful, although mechanics professional obd readers are much more comprehensive and costly. thanks for the video, when my car needs replacing I'd certainly consider one of these. Looks great for taking camping etc as will carry a whole load of gear.

The SOS button can be engaged 2 different ways: hold it 5 seconds (as stated in the video), but you also can push it 5 times in quick succession to activate it. With regards to audio fidelity - it's true, sounds a bit tinny. In the equalizer, raising bass to 4, high to 1-2, and lowering mid to -1-2 helped a bit.

Very informative. I have the Jogger Extreme SE, and am very pleased with it so far. Couple of the things I've noticed.. Radio fidelity.. yeah, the radio itself could be better, however, streaming music from my phone the sound quality is pretty good - much better than the tuner. But sure whether that's because mine has the 6 Steelers instead of 4. The staples.. my car has this issue too. Carpets are secure, but there are exposed staples running along the rubber door trim on both the rear doors, which I assume the staples should under the trim? I've just accepted that's how it is, but might mention it to the dealer in case they can do something about it. Eco - agree, it just seems to lower the turbo output a little. Still perfectly driveable, in fact, when the engine is cold it makes pulling away smoother. Lastly, vibrations.. my driver's side door speakers vibrates at higher volumes with anything that's remotely bass heavy. I'm not even talking excessively loud. Just wondering if anyone else has similar experience?

[@HowToBloke]

Thanks for watching #HowToBloke ! 👍 The garage that sold me the car removed the rubber door seal (most of it) and re-fitted/re-positioned the thing so that the staples are no longer visible. They did that both sides at the front. All is now good. There wasn't any similar problem at the rear doors on my Jogger, just the front. Speaker vibration? I reckon you've a loose or defective speaker - I just tried mine at full volume - bass set to max - all ok.

Thanks it all helps and I hope manufactures will listen to your points.I drive a Citroen Space tourer.The 7 seater 1.5 Turbo diesel.It is on the disability scheme my wife is disabled.We are going into our fourth year I didn't find anything to change the car yet.I have the stop start system I never use it.Same as cruise control very rarely.The information screen I find annoying I have to use it but can do without it.There is a sat nav but I still use my expensive Tom Tom I bought a few years ago.Updates are free how to update the car sat nave I haven't got a clue.The seats and armrest in the Citroen are top notch.I am over 6 feet but it is mainly for my wife getiting in and out of the car.I would like the jogger dual fuel LPG.I believe they sell them on the continent.I don't know about the UK.I n the UK the car is not available on the disability scheme correct me if I am wrong.That emergency button is top notch.I have the blind spot mirror.The jogger if taken care off will last many years but I must admit this Citroen is one of the best cars I have ever driven.I have driven many cars for oil test.Mercs Beemers you name them.Any way I have gone on a bit.

[@HowToBloke]

How about a Citroën Berlingo for your requirements? Thanks for watching #HowToBloke 👍

To be fair, the electric handbrake means you can't forget to put it on when you get out of the car as it engages when you open the driver door.

[@WheelieMacBin]

In the UK you won't have that problem with your foot and the clutch pedal, as the controls will be on the other side.

[@HowToBloke]

So the OBD socket stays where it is on RHD cars - that's good news. Thanks for the info. 👍

[@alantheskinhead]

That's the ODB socket by the clutch pedal

[@HowToBloke]

Indeed it is. And Renault won't move it away from there either.

[@justizii]

What about the 2nd row ventilation and 3rd row?

[@HowToBloke]

More to come. Thanks for watching #HowToBloke 👍

[@aistrajzsa6876]

I'd rather have a manual handbrake 100%

[@HowToBloke]

For sure ! 👍👍

[@mansonnanson8294]

Are you on the correct side of the road, or is it just me? Anyway, love the video! Thanks.
