Yeah, I was thinking that too :). Mind you I had each one over three years and with the exception of the Clio snapping two clutch cables they were fine.

surely if you dont read the small print and then try and claim for something that isnt covered, thats your own fault how ever much of a pi**er that is. Mind you, if that happened to me I would be well hacked off as I imagine those scooby owners were. Personally I would prefer the manufacturers...

Ive had 3 renaults and a peugeot and this is the first one to rattle! And its the only one thats been bought new.

SydneyClioSport, when I picked my 172 up in the UK I was like you, expecting it to rattle and suffer numerous quality issues. On the whole though I was very surprised as it as pretty much spot on with the exception of a couple of pieces of trim that did not quite fit flush. However after I had...

Because the manufacturers warranty doesnt cover every part of the car whereas a 3rd party warranty may do.

sorry if that sounded a bit arsey, didnt mean it to. Just wondering what the problems are so I can advice him if there is anything he needs to bare in mind.

why walk away from the deal? its the same car off the same production line and the same spec as everywhere else. The only difference is the warranty. He is buying a 4 year warranty separately which is rated as one of the best in the country and is more comprehensive than the standard renault...

My brother is buying a 172 from trade-sales and it turns out its a cypriot import, therefore sourced from outside the eu and hence not subject to the 3 years manufacturers warranty. Does this mean that it has come off a different production line to the one in France?

I agree with what Capn Slarty says about we see more problems on this list because of the nature of the people who use it. I dont really agree with this if it rattles, turn the stereo up idea which has been floated around from time to time. At the end of the day, people pay a lot of money for...

Yeah I find that too. Digging around under the glove box while driving is a bit awkward.

Yeah Ive got four different rattles from my dashboard, one from behind the instruments, one where the whole thing seems to vibrate at certain speeds, one where the top left of the dashboard appears to be rubbing against the trim of the pillar on the windscreen on the passenger side and one from...

Cheers all! Im dreading picking the car up and discovering how little has been fixed and what other things have been broken after reading some of the posts on here about renault dealers!

Hi All Unfortunately, my car needs to go back to the local renault dealer in York as it has rattles from 3 places in the dash board, a rattling passenger window and the air conditioning sensor where the light is is making a strange hum. Im going to get it done under warranty, is there...

I wouldnt worry about the image, more the fact that it costs a fortune and I cant get my damn golf clubs in the boot unless I bend them in half ( which may improve my game though )

if I had loads of spare cash Id buy a cooper or if even more spare cash a cooper s. The cooper Ive been in felt solid and was great fun and looks great from the outside. Was only in it for 15 mins or so so dont know about the build quality, but it was a great laugh to nip around in. The only...
