[stewart]

I got mine, the previous owner never took mine for the recall

 

[Hazza]

I never got a letter, but i took it to the dealers as soon as i heard about it on watchdog.

Just to say, I was driving home last week and a clio was in the outside lane of the A12 - a woman and her two children were stuck in the central reservation as their bonnet had flipped up...

Amen to that... if only Renault customers could get that into thier heads when i was working up at Renault UK head Offices

The 'official renault dvd' for the bonnet recall was pretty funny tho. It showed some guy spraying the bonnet catch, working it back and forth and then dropping the bonnet from a distance, It lasted bout 20 mins LOL what a loada b****cks.

[n0rm]

LOL i recived mine for the TT the other day.......its booked in for next friday........even tho i run bonnet catches.....there faces will be pictures

 

[VeinAST]

My bonnet catch is rusted to fook but the car's 6 years old

 

[Alastair.]

doesnt matter how old, all mk2s have gotten be either looked at or changed i there is the smallest sign of corrosion, 1998 onward

 

[VeinAST]

Nice one

Guess mine's been looked at though considering I havent had "the letter".

But does this mean they shouldn't really rust?

 

[Whiteley]

LOL i recived mine for the TT the other day.......its booked in for next friday........even tho i run bonnet catches.....there faces will be pictures

Ha, ledge! :approve:

 

[Alastair.]

some rust so dont, if they have been regulary maintained then they should be rust free, just go into renault any day and just say that ur bonnet catch is rusty/corroded and they will book u in for a free new catch

 

[VeinAST]

Cheers Ali you might be fixing the bonnet catch on my car soon then haha

 

[Alastair.]

[VeinAST]

Westbury!! I came to the Wiltshire Mini Meet and met you outside the Hungry Horse in my blue Clio lol..

 

[Alastair.]

[d-i-l-l-o]

my sis went to do her driving test in her own 2002 clio a couple of weeks back, the examiner asked her for a bonnet catch certificate and she looked at him gone out, she wasn't allowed to do her test without the letter! waste of money for a test! be careful!

 

[VeinAST]

lol, tw*t lol, uve changed ur profile pic thats why i didnt reconise ya lol

Haha! yeah sorry

 

[Sargara]

I got mine for my Mk2 Ph1.

Id imagine i wont get this changed free of charge due to the age. What sort of cost are we talking?
