PM edde here, and ask him for the shortened aux belt change method. Explain this to the dealer thats this needs carrying out on top of the normal service.
A 36k (12k) service should be £180 ishy, and then the belt & 30mins work on top.
whats the mileage on the car..
shocks should be covered to about 26,000 or so.
They are only about £60 new from renault anyway.
The pads are one of them things, the rear light you could get off eBay, or from the scrap yard and do it yourself.
I can strip the pads out on my 182, its real simple..
Simply jack car up, remove wheel, remove lower calliper bolt, loosen top one, open up calliper, remove pads, fit new pads, push pistons back into calliper, fit calliper back down, fit lower bolt, tighten top bolt.. check brake fluid, press...
I sure wont be going to renault for the 72k service..

Once wheels off, simply...

I fix the new typhoon / eurofighter aircraft for a living (well Tornado F3 for 4yrs, then this for 18months so far).
Most jobs are carried out on your own unsupervised...therefore im always getting dirty
Car needs a 48k service soon, therefore the car would be on the ramps and i figured i could have some extra work carried out.
Asked during the service if they could swap out some old disks, for some new brembo disks i bought from yozzasport.
They come back and said..
Service - £180 (as...
Took the car to grimsby car clinic, these deal with accident damaged cars.
The estimator come out and first of all could not notice the dent in the bonnet, then i took him out to show him the dent.
He said they could drill a hole in the rear of the bonnet and get it that way but where it...
Well, the claim if for the bonnet alignment being out, as the guy took the catch off, then put it back on, and repeated to press down on the bonnet to get it to close, then re-adjust the catch, then press again..
and hey presto it closed..only later i realised they dent in the bonnet...
