Again this morning, notice this more at revs of 3k or higher really, I don't know if I am just hearing the workings of the gearbox at higher revs or if I should be worried? Anyone else noticed the same thing?

thanks for the advice rja_cup.
I've booked it in to Arnold Clark now for a diagnostics on it and then ill take from there... not sure ill get to the successful result that you got but ill give it ago.
Is very worrying though how this is affecting so many cars... looks like Renault really cut corners on the development testing of this model.

15,800 miles
58 (2008 )
Second gearbox, original one was replaced at 14,000 miles due to it crunching into 3rd gear over 3,500RPM November last year.
Here we go. Few weeks ago I noticed a crunch going from 5th back to 4th.
I knew immediately I was going to join the club of the 'bad gearboxes'.
Went to the dealer with some print-outs from this forum and let him drive the 200. He couldn't ignore the crunch so an appointment was made: today. In the mean time, going from 3th into 4th usually ends up in a crunch too.
So, car booked in, warranty expired July 2012. 57000 km on the clock. The dealer stated that 'cause the warrenty had expired, I'm looking at a reparation instead of a new box. They did however promise to get in touch with Renault Belgium and ask for a contribution.
I'll keep you informed.
