Yeah customer service was taking the piss but this is renaults way of not honouring their legal obligations by fixing my car under warranty. Rsport told them it was a characteristic of the car and thus there is nothing wrong with it. But i have had atleast 20 people who have been in the car...
Its the engine banging against the subframe. Its getting on my nerves because i started flooring the throttle last night disregarding the banging and came out of first gear with no input from me.
Okay so I spoke to the customer service to find out what was going on as they were getting an...
Okay tonight i went out in my cup and on the advice of the garage i just disregarded the banging. I floored it on a bumpy road and it jumped out of first gear. I noticed that when i do get the banging the gear lever moves about a fair bit, so presumably flooring it on a bumpy road coupled with...
Cool. I am sure it would be useless threatening legal action, renault problably have an army of lawyers...was just thinking out loud from what I have read.
Problably cheaper to take legal action for all those who brought their cars within the last 6 months because the burden of proof is on...
When i phoned up my garage where i brought the car I told them the situation and asked if there was a possiblity of rejecting the car. I said I didnt want to reject it, I wanted a replacement free of defects. So I searched on the internet about people rejecting their cars and its covered by a...
Starting new thread about what to do about this. My cup is a few months old with 3800 miles on it and its pissing me off not getting the full enjoyment out of this excellent car.
Just found out what this problem is from the excellent r-sport. They said to me its more psychological and doesnt...
Just found out what this problem is from the excellent r-sport. They said to me its more psychological and doesnt effect the speed of the car. Although last night after picking the car up from rsport (having been fixed in some way to eliminate the banging) the car felt like it was going to...
First gear is useless in the wet on mine. First the revs raise quickly coupled with wheel spin and the banging. Wish I could get this soughted and just have wheel spin.
So R Sport are not technically trained, is this true?
Then would it make sense taking a clio cup to them?
Thinking I am going to have to give renault romford a call.

In England is there a competant renault dealer that knows how to fix the 172?
This is not the case I am afraid, its not supposed to be like this. Its only because the renault dealers lack the expertise to identify and find a proper solution to the fault, that I cant get my car fixed.
In the clarkson video head to head, they race a clio 172 mk1 w/out esp, and you see...
I have come to the conclusion there is no fix for the juddering under hard acceleration. I am sure it is engine mounts because its like there is play in the suspension or something, cant explain.
R-sport recognised the wrong fault when i took it in there, which was the squeeking noises when...
I first rang customer services for r-sports number and they gave me it. I just assumed they would be renault approved. ( Your scaring me, they are a approved garage right. Flipping mission to take my car there from barnet, hope wasnt a waste of time. )
I then rang customer services and asked...
Why is R-sport a good garage?
I cant seem to access the renault dealers part of the board, even though I am a member. Does anyone know how to access it?
Yes I told r-sport it was engine mounts and they said they tightened them all. They speculated that it might be something to do with the exhaust touching the engine, so are ordering new parts but this was just guessing.
All i can say is the needle on the rev counter seems to go alot...
From R-sport. I dont think it invalidates the warranty because i rang renault customer care before I had it fitted and they said the warranty would still be fine.
This cup really is something. Just got the group n ecu fitted and it goes like a f***ing rocket. Despite the problem of not being able to floor the car in first gear, its the best car I have ever owned.
So to my question. Is there any dealer within a 200 miles radius of London that can...
