I have the same problem. Oil 2 cm above level. Identified at 1st year service. They changed oil and filter and reported it to ā€˜Renault. The diagnosis is that a new fuel filter is required ans is on back order . Have been given free hire care until the part arrives and is fitted.

I am experiencing the same smell problem as many have reported. The spark plug recall was supposed to fix the problem. I never thought it would and it didn't. The cabin fills with oily fumes when the car is restarted after a short run. Currently the local dealer denies the problem exists. There are no resolutions on this forum. Has anyone had a positive outcome?

Had the smell of petrol in garage after each journey. At first they said there was no issue (presumably my imagination!) Anyway when it went in for a gearbox failure (šŸ˜±) they listened and changed the oil vapour pipe which was damaged. No problem with petrol smell since then.
