    Service/courtesy car Q

    well, I intend to call the dealer again tomorrow and argue for a car since they are doing warranty work aswell as a service, but their response before seemed definate; "we dont do courtesy cars." Stupid arnold clark. (sorry, SIR arnold Clark).

    Service/courtesy car Q

    I contacted Tesco and they said at least that they will provide free cover for the car for the duration we have it... at least thats something (assuming car is not rated any higher).... Still think I am entitled to a courtesy car though.

    Service/courtesy car Q

    I have booked the car in for its 36K service (1.2 dynamique, 2 yrs old.) I managed to get them to give me 10% off by just asking, and she said fine so £225 which as far as I can see isnt too bad for this service at renault. I also have asked for two warranty repairs; airbag warning and the...

    squeeky wheels - bearings

    Well, it doesnt occur with any relation to me pressing the brake pedal, secondly my brakes were only 50% worn at 18k service and I had the rear drums stripped and cleaned aswell at that time! I would say its a squeel from the wheels when cornering and sometime when just going along.... but it...

    £140 for a key !!!!

    I think I have a spare renault key, obviously it wont fit the lock but maybe you could have it (if I can find it) and just pay the £20 to have it coded to your car?? But I have seen them forsale on ebay with uncut blades ready for cutting, I think £40 (search under kangoo I think)

    grating noise when setting off

    yes, happens often to me, and on my aunts clio (w-reg sport). I have noticed that it is accompanied by a dimming of the headlights when it happens at night (ie the lights dim slightly whilst the noise occurs as if there is some motor or something running). Also it happens exactly the same if I...

    tyres type/speed rating

    Im sure it came with H rated and I figure since I am only changing two tyres I might aswell just get H again - for the moment. Clio007 - I dont think that they do rainsports in 185/55 only Rallye or something like that. Thanks for your replies, I will probably get the firehawks. They do...

    Elec window prob

    I was out today, and with it being hot and me having not decided to pay for Air conditioning, I was putting the windows down. The passanger window then promptly got half way down and made a cracking sound. When I looked round the glass had formed a pyramid shape in the centre of the frame. (ie...

    Ok, I went a bit over the top, it was supposed to look like it was just pushing its way through the fog (which I added) - not smoke :). And yes, the lights are a little tweaked and tinted.

    Getting dents in your pride and joy

    I remember seeing something on TV (a good few years ago now) that car park owners (only works in multistories) could install. It was just a big bit of foam that attached to the ceiling between car parking spaces and you could open your door, it would swing over to let you out but if you pushed...
