It probably depends on whether you take your car to a main dealer, e.g. Renault Edinburgh or a franchised one. e.g. Abercromby Renault. I dont think the franchised places worry what you have done to your car (within reason) and dont mind that you have bought an import either! I have...

Could you have flashed someone twice using the switch while you were driving Tony? If so, maybe that turned off the auto thing.

Looks like a wannabe silver 172 ;)

A friend of mine has just sold her RAV4 and now has a Land Rover Freelander TD4 which has no back seats, the back roof lifts right off and it has no rear side windows. It is to be used mainly for taking bales of hay to her horse, hence no seats. The company who insured the RAV said they...

Youre just a wee boy Rob! ;)

Not Scottish, unless you infer honesty, just realistic Rob!!

Where? In your chocolate factory!!

If it was my car I would insist on a new door, not a door skin as this is the cheap way out. The garage probably took good care of the car and cant be blamed for the bump. The owner should contact the company whose van it was and tell them that they want it fixing properly, not cheaply!!

Maybe they will recall them all to replace them with clear side repeaters!! ;)

Rob Not common - POPULAR - because they look so good on most cars. :D

I think this is something to do with whether the name Renault comes before the dealers name or after it - eg. near me is Renault Edinburgh and Abercromby Renault and possibly Abercromby Renault might not be linked up to the main computer as you have just mentioned!! These were the guys that...

Perhaps we could all bombard Renault with e-mails concerning warranties and see what replies we all get!

We have had sun here for more than a month Rob! Where were you ignored? I find that very hard to believe unless you were behaving in an arrogant way! The Scots are an extremely friendly bunch, unless of course, the people you encountered, were some of the many who have escaped from the mad...

Maybe our friend Bob RTE can throw some light on this subject when he logs on later tonight - unless he is making pancakes again!

Why cant Renault make up their mind about which is the correct procedure for these warranties? I have an import and have had two warranty jobs done by the delaer and the only thing they needed from me was the registration number!

Rob They are even being generous giving away points in the six nations rugby just now!! ;)

Scan the pic and post it here for those who dont have the mag.

Surely you dont need a pollen filter replacing at a first service! You should ask the dealers for their best price and let them know that you are ringing other dealers too - that will make them knock their price down. At my nearest Renault dealer in Edinburgh the first service is only about...

Stu I have just had a look and found this: Here is the original e-mail sent from Renault Customer Services. Dear Mr McEwan Thank you for your recent email. I can advise you that vehicles that are purchased in 2002 onwards from outside the UK dealership network ie an imported vehicle...

My car has never been in my garage, I always keep it outside. Where I usually park it, there is a slight incline and for ages I parked it facing downhill and the time when I found the water again was after I started parking it uphill - if you see what I mean. This led me to think that water...

Bob At the time, a friend of mine obtained a Technical Information sheet which was dated August 2001 with the number (code?) 1215 above the date. It also had on the front page Renault UK Type Clio II RS 172 CH Phase 1 (CBOM) Water ingress in luggage compartment area - vehicles...

Bob Do you know anything about water ingress in some 172s, in particular the Mk1 and some Mk2 models? When I bought mine in January 2002, the spare wheel well had about four inches of water in it and when I mentioned it here, a few others had experienced it too. My car went into the dealer...

Surely they wont charge 19p for something Bob! How tight is that? My local garage doesnt usually charge for anything under a fiver!

Bob The Which? magazine said Accelerator cable not Throttle cable - or is it the same thing? Glad that you enjoyed your pancakes, Jilly had seven and I lost count as I was eating them straight from the pan!!

Being a member of Which? I was just having a look online, and happened to notice among the list of recalls in 2002, the Clio! Has anyone here had a recall concerning the accelerator cable? This was copied from Which? Renault Clio Jan 98 to Dec 99 Accelerator cable may break I...

Not my recommendation Carlos, it was the Auto Express guys! Just as a reminder because the page has changed - The Turtle Wax Gloss Guard was their first choice with 5 blobs, followed by Turtle Wax plus PTFE / Comma Top Gloss Car Polish / Simoniz Original / Armour All Car Wax all with 4 blobs...

Just pushing this up so that Dust might see it.

Have to agree with Mike that Lexus style lights only suit silver or very light coloured cars.
