[lee_car]

bought a 05 182 from a dealer yesterday, all was fine, started it today drove abit got out to put something in boot and thought the engine sounded like a diesel and abit tappy, you cant hear it when in the car, a quick search on here points to depahser going, heres a video.
if it is going how would I stand with the dealer? was sold as outstanding condition fsh, 600ish to get it sorted is quite abit and after buying the car ive not got it lol

cheers lee

Dephaser, take it back, i presume its got some sort of warranty on it.

 

[Wrighty.]

Yeah take it back. Cars not fit for purpose etc... Just search for some of the threads Daniel has commented in about situations like this they contain all the advice you will need to deal with the garage if they try and fob you off.

spoke to him this morning, he didn't know what one was and needed to ask the lads, phoned him back he said he will get them to sort it, I don't mind it being fixed proper as I do like the car but I doubt they will have the correct equipment to complete it properly, don't really want some lads botching it then later on need someone decent to sort it all out, do I have any rights to tell him where to get it fixed?

also noticed in the paperwork the last guy had the timing re done in july 13 by a garage so I think it was giving abit of trouble back then

It's a tricky one, I would let him know it's a specialist job that requires specific tools from renault. Say to him if he's willing to show you proof he has these tools then you will let them carry out the work, if not then you would like the car to be done by a specialist or you would like to hand the car back. That's just what I would personally do, as you can be fairly sure his mechanics won't have the tools to get the timing right which will just cause you more grief in the end.
