That is precisely what my garage said. I suppose by fitting a new pollen filter (that is if they HAVE fitted it!!) gives Renault an extra £16.55 in their thieving mitts!
:cry:
Isnt it amazing the amount dealers charge for a little sachet of screenwash, when often the car owner has a big bottle of it in their boot!! My husband was charged £3.00 for the stuff in his Beemer!! My local garage charges 35p for it. Often you can get a litre for what they charge!

I have a copy of Dashs 12,000 mile V6 service, and including new brake pads the total was only £202 and that included the pads at £50.55 (incl VAT).
It is best to ring round two or three garages to compare costs and let the individual garages know that you are doing this. After...

THAT IS AN ABSOLUTE RIP-OFF. Even the dealers in expensive Edinbugh dont charge that amount for the 12k service. I think the nearest dealer to me, Abercromby Renault, Edinburgh only charge just over £100
Can you scan your invoice and post it here so that we can see the breakdown...

You can now get rid of the baseball cap, and get yourself one of these Aussie dangling cork hats if you are going to be driving a "Billabong"!!

There is a picture of the Clio CC on page 15 of Auto Express issue 743 and it looks so much better than the awful looking 206 with its hideous rear end, which comes with handles for skateboarders to grab hold of.
This was in last weeks Auto Express:
Clio Joins The Coupe Cabrio Club
here may have been a tide of new models from Renault in recent months, but the floodgates havent shut yet. The all-new Clio is getting ready to make waves, and exclusive pictures in the current issue of Auto...
Sorry the above is so huge - it wasnt when I copied and pasted it!!
The testers at Auto Express have given Autoglym only 3 stars also Meguiars 3 stars but Turtle Wax Gloss Guard had 5 stars, they said this had never been bettered by any other polish since it came out in 1998. It is only £6.99...
Personally I dont think Ben needs to waste time seeing a solicitor - cross that bridge when he comes to it. I dont think he will hear any more about it, unless the guy gets his mates to do something to the car in revenge. More likely his parents will sort him out, as Ben reckons they are...
The current Golfs are now much heavier and slower than the earlier ones. A guy at our garage has a newish GTi, but my little 172 can beat him up the hill near where I live! They were OK up to and including the VR6 but afterwards a bit sluggish!
Strictly it is illegal, but I dont think anyone would bother about it - they dont around where I live - there are a variety of mis-spaced number plates here, but seem to be ignored.
This will tell you more - but just please yourself on the spacing...

Pleased to hear that things have turned out better than you thought. It does sound as though the parents are keeping something back doesnt it? Perhaps he is already on probation from another crime! In which case he would be in serious trouble as he first of all broke into, or entered...
Exactly the same here - there are two reds, one black and three silver CTRs, and only the black is driven by an oldish guy, the rest by women - two silvers owned by ancient silver haired women.
Also in that message about WD40, I have just noticed that TYRES is mispelt - this is because the whole section was copied and pasted from their website!
