Dont worry mate, it may take time but they will sort it. I have literally just got off the phone with them about a matter that start way back in June, but finally we have all the issues resolved and my car is getting the treatment it deserves! RUK are the most powerful tool in your arsenal at...
Quick update:
Tires are great! Really rate them and if you can get them, buy them, you wont regret it!! As soon as I went out again after the drive home they were brilliant.
Also the damaged alloy has been sorted, Renault UK have resolved the issue with the poor refurb job carried out by...
They do look good with tips removed, but I prefer it with Carbon Tips, which is why I havent smoothed mine. TBH its a simple enough job to smooth the ends if you want to do it yrself. The one BrownBear postd though has had the ends rounded off, which is a bigger job. What I mean is, if you...
Remapping it will void the warranty on everything conencted to it, so Engine, Dash operation, alarm, immobiliser etc etc. Not worth it, you buy a new car for warranty, not for out and out modding,

Chemix in Halesowen, they were going to be fitting the onee Blackcircles couldnt supply so gave them a call on the off chance and they were unbeliveably helpful.
Just managed to source some through the garage that were going to be fitting them for blackcircles! Should be with them tomorrow morning and he will call me to confirm they are actually the right tire once he has them. Great bit of service tbh, really impressed with them!
Cheers rory, it seems my tire size, 215/45 R17 is hard to source at the moment. Got a garage on the case who think they can get them, they have got their supplier physcially checking 3 depots as they are showing stocks of 1, 2 and 2, lol. They have got a a good price to, so will wait with...
