It took renault 4.5 days to do my 36k service!!!
in the end the smashed a belt tensioner, ruptured the aircon system just to mention a few problems!!
oh and i heard today they have called the administrators in today!! HA
After a monk jack deer decided to pick a fight with the front end of the 172 last night I now need the following
1 front bumper
2 foglights
1 passenger side inner wheel arche liner (althought I may get away with a little bodge on that)
any ideas on prices and part numbers etc?
I cant...
Glad you've got your car back.
The joys of being insured by the so called insurance companies. esp HIC,Elephant,Flux (all underwritten by Highway Insurance I believe).
I've had the misfortune of dealing with HIC over my none fault total loss claim.
The prob with the courtesy car was the fact they didnt have any left. And as my car was originally only going in for a 1hr job (belt change) I pulled the short straw of a Micra 1ltr
I normally get either a clio or a fairly new megane.
I asked him to change my smashed fog light as a sort of compensation but he refured, I'll work on him again in the morning.
Lost all faith in them now.
Well when I thought it couldnt get any worse!!
They got the tensioner in this morning, but the f**king monkeys have only now gone and ruptured the aircon pipes!!!!!!!
So I've got this pile of japanese shite for yet another day.
The manager has told me that the current labour bill...
Well the 172 went into today for its aux drive belt to be changed, after the dealer 'forgot' to do it on the 36k service!!!
I was told it would be 1hr so from 8.30 this morning I've been sitting in the dealership waiting. After having words with the manager about 'forgeting' to change the...
Renault dont include the price of the aux belt when quoting their prices for the 36k service, as I have just found out!!
Just paid £208 for my 36k service, but there was no mention of the belt being changed after I picked the car up. After chasing them up they said 'oh yes we forgot to advise...
I had 2 on my mk1 172 lasted 28k miles. My mk2 172 has also had 2 only lasted 25k!!
Not covered under warrenty. I tried 4 local renault stealers. they use the 'wear and tear' excuse.
I've got the navman icn510i. Has the touch screen ect. You could prob pick one of these up now for under £200.
I had to buy an external ariel due to the 172's reflective windscreen, but I picked this up off ebay for a tenner.
yeap should be done for free. as I said above I had 1 go in under a year, and 1 replaced last year. Hopefully it will last now.
When I booked mine in the receptionist told me they would need the car for a complete day as they had to remove the front bumper!!! even though I said it was up by...
I've had 2 replaced under warrenty. As its a common fault on the 172 that they just crack for no apparent reason.
They get at it from the top ie. Wipers off and then the black trim, this leaves the bottle exposed.
Funny thing this, but a chap at work this morning said his daughters gauge had done the same thing. Reading 52'C.
As said above anyone know how much they are, and fitment etc??
