sh*t news...sorry to hear it...:(
Hope youget it all sorted out ok.
happened to a friend of ours....all our car keys are locked away everynight now.....
yep….they only took £2 off for the oil…..well they said the £200 estimate was a bit low that was given to me over the phone…..the guy who had given it to me was new (how convenient) couldn’t argue with the invoice though….other than the huge cost of labour everything else was relatively...
I took it to Baldocks in Wivelsfield, Sussex......
The engine idles better now....used to fluctuate a bit, which Crawley Down Renault was fine and normal.......I dont get the kangeroo effect anymore when its cold........starts first time everytime now.........maybe the rest of it is in my head...
£125 was labour......rest was oil filter, pollen filter, air filter and VAT i think ....al in all if you count the oil i bought separately it cost me £245 !!!
and apparetnly i didnt give them enough oil....the manual say it take 4.75 litres but the garage told me it only filled it to half way...
they are all crap.....atleast they are fixing it though......they buggered up the door on my last clio and when i took it back the next day they said i couldnt prove it was them...fought them for ages but never got anywhere ! buggers the lot of them !:@
i do 86 miles a day mostly motor way....sit anywhere between 40-70ish (M25 depending!!) and get 39.8mpg.......(although i was getting 41.9 today for some reason)
hope that helps
enjoy !....have done over 11k in mine and still loving it to bits...just keeps getting better and better !!! makes me smile everyday :D
(dont worry about the squeaks...just turn the stereo up a bit louder !)
only just seen this mate...hope everything is ok.......as above atleast your wife is ok........cars can be fixed (as ive found out only too well recently) still makes you feel gutted though....keep my fingers crossed it doesnt cost too much....Ang x
If you can afford the extra GET IT...no doubt about it.....saved us a fortune in light of recent events.
Lee would of been looking at possibly 4 times his policy if he hadnt had protected no claims....as it is it should only be about a 25% increas on his policy......(have to wait til its all...
LOL !.......doesnt matter what i do with my feet...it still does it !......
....oh well it doesnt last long i suppose.....temp gets up really quickly...much quicker than any other car ive owned
