Well that's good news as comments I found on net had put me off going with alcantara, was that a re-trim or new wheel?
I reckon it's the sub standard glue they've used. As a test was going to go out and use a hair dryer on wheel get it very hot then see if cover starts to move around.
Also will be calling RUK tomorrow didn't have the time today as I had an assignment to finish and submit.
Just to let you know, ive had this problem and renault uk have payed 50% of the costs so they do try for you i suppose and my cars 4 and a half year old

has anyone tried the leather renovation stuff?
my steering wheel wrinkled the paint on the quarter to three, meaning the hole punched area, I tore some of the paint off on one side already...
this stuff anyway works fine on leather seats and should work well enough on a steering wheel, if its half the price of buying a new one though makes little sense doesnt it, but worth checking out at some companies that make leather new again, its a 50 quid shopping of some german stuff they use, but that woud do about 10 steering wheels and cant imagine it being more than 1 hour of work...
Surrey Paul your original leather wrap came loose??? or was it an aftermarket cover you are using?

Not going to help me I'm afraid as it's not an issue of the synthetic leather going old but it's coming detached from the wheel, assuming when it get hot from being in the sun, so when you go to turn the wheel the surface moves but the wheel doesn't and when it then moves it wrinkles up and sticks to itself, very very odd

Ren uk have emailed me back today and told me give them a ring or give them my number.they go on to say they agree with me that it shouldn't have happened again they have checked when I had it exchanged and are willing to help with replacing the wheel once it's been inspected.they also say it is not a fault that they are aware of (PMSL) and they don't like the fact that I may never buy a Renault again.I await the phone call on monday
I love the bit it's not a fault their aware of, seeing how many people have had their wheels exchanged under warranty, in this day and age you would expect a manufacturer to have a database containing complaints/faults logged.
Would you mind PMing me your case number, so if I get the guy dealing with mine saying they've not heard about this problem I can then give him that and being recent should still be on their system.
