Just got notice back from garage that the charge is £186; does that sounds reasonable?

When I spoke to stealerships they said it was air filter, oil filter, oil change and all the checks required.

Jesus it's £258.49 at Renault Oldham. Do independent local garages base their price on Renault? Only the mechanic said he would need to check the computer.

Hi, Car has just been booked in for a service at local garage. Any idea how much a service at 60k costs? Guy on phone couldn't give me a price; seems odd.

Cheers, what about new discs?

As per title

Yes the air con does need regassing as this summer it wasn't cool enough. I drove the car late last night and tested the heating and it appeared to work fine. I tried it on hot and the car heated up and then put the controller down to min and it began spitting out cool air. Weird...

Hi, I've noticed a problem with the heating system in my Clio 172 02. No matter what temperature I set the climate control to, it seems to distribute hot air. I can still control the flow of air and all the other controls, just not the temperature; seems to be hot all the time. Any ideas...

Hi, I've just purchased a new TDC sensor and wiring and Reno quoted 1.5 hours at £70 an hour to fit it - I think I'll have a go myself. So, the question is, how do I go about fitting it?

Failed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On hand brake not being tight enough and nearside rear tyre is split and classed as dangerous. At least it is nothing serious like emmissions or something (Like last year).

Feeeecking hell, i had mine done for £10!!!!!!!

Hi, I have my MOT due before next Saturday and seen as i'm off work thought i'd check the car over. I thought i'd start with the brakes first, they look ok to me but i'd appreciate it if anyone else could check the pictures for me. It would only allow me to upload 5 so the remaining three are...

Hi, I'm going to attempt to change the sparks on my 172 2002 which is on 54k and I don't think they have ever been changed in the past. I've been reading a few articles on here but have a few questions which I hope can be answered. 1. When replacing the plenum/inlet manifold gasket does it...
