Suspension problems with Renault Modus
I have owned a Renault Modus from new since 2011 without any problems. The reason for buying it was down to its high driving position and comfortable, compliant suspension. However, this has now become VERY harsh and uncomfortable and rattles from rear over slightly rough tarmac surfaces.
Renault say there is nothing to fix or adjust. Is there a suspension 'expert' in my area who could perhaps help?
Failing this, can you suggest something similar with compliant suspension? I have £12,000 plus part exchange value but could go higher for the right car.

If you still want to swap, check out a KIA Venga, Hyundai ix20 or Ford B-Max, all on 15-inch wheels with deep profile tyres for the best ride comfort and bump absorption.

I have a BMW F11 5-Series Touring on standard 17-inch wheels with 225/55 R17 runflat tyres. The ride is awful and I have always assumed that the stiffness in the walls causes much of the harsh ride.
I've got a 2004 Renault Megane. The car is pulling to the right when accelerating. And after braking the car feels like it's dragging. I'm confused, any suggestions?

Sensible, practical little car with good features like 'Triptic' rear seat and some diesel engines under 121g/km. Plenty of character too.
