Hi. Are you still willing to sell if you still have it?

Hi there. I have exactly the same problem. Did you get it fixed in the end? Cheers

Tell me about it!!!

Had the belts done at 5 year point with 20K on the clock. Why don't Renault stick with the old fashioned service schedule for the car rather than introduce colour coding service jobbies that don't quite tick all the boxes, i.e Renaultsport oil supplement extra, spark plugs extra etc etc, hey...

Hello, My car is due its 6 year service soon (only done 25K) and when I called Renault to ask them to quote for a service according to manufacturers schedule, they replied that for all cars over 3 years old they do a silver (£99), Gold (£149) and Platinum (£199) service. They suggested...

Just had a couple of PS3 fitted to the fronts today. First impressions are good, better than the PE2s?, too early to say but hopefully Michelin would not replace the PE2's with a inferior tyre or would they????

Hello there, After looking after my front splitter for nearly 2 years, the time came this evening for me to hit a kerb whilst parking, dope! I have some light scratches/minor scuffs in the middle of the splitter. Does anybody have any tips on how best to remove these? T cut? Boot...

I have and its still cheaper, plus I get to go on the razz with all my old Bristol mates on the weekend. Take your point though, I think that Renault Europe just rip you off and their economy is not in such a bad way compared to UK so they still charge full whack on prices.

My mistake. The price is £573.27 inc VAT! which is much cheaper than the £1040 ex VAT that I am being quoted over here in Germany. Right a long drive back to Bristol it is then....

SJ Cook and Sons have quoted me £573.27 ex VAT to replace Timing and accessories belt and water pump. That sounds more reasonable to me. Any folk out there had any recent good experiences with them? I used them years ago for my R5 GTT service (seemed ok then). Cheers

How come the Renault Garage in Germany is charging:- Cam Kit = €318 ex VAT Aux Kit = €277 ex VAT Water Pump = €94 ex VAT Plug & Cover (whatever that is?) = €15 ex VAT. I would have thought Renault would charge the same price for parts throughout Europe (EU and all that?) obviously not!!

Now and again. I have e-mailed SJ Cook and Sons for a quote. Let's see what they come back with. Do they have a point about the water pump?

Hi there, I have just had a quote to change the Cam/Aux belts (nearly 5 years old) from my local Renault dealer in Germany and they have come back with €1196.83 (approx £1040!) attached as pdf, which includes a replacement water pump as they said that 80% of the time the water pump needs...

I dropped the car in. 1 1/2 hours later job done. Spotless repair and he didn't even have to rip out the roof lining to sort it out. Worry now over. I keep trying to find the 2 dents but I can't!!. The guy has been doing this PDR stuff for over 20 years and it shows. A very happy...

Phil, Thanks for this. Much appreciated. I'll see how it goes this Saturday when the PDR man will hopefully do his magic.
