yeah see what happens, im giving them the chance to put it right first as i genuinely love the car, if they dont put it right properly first time, i was told i would have it back within 10 days this is day 9 and still no sign of an engine so its not looking good! it will be going to the next stage!
7 days later engine still isnt here, so much for their original 1 day for an engine, then 5 days then 5 to 7 now on day 7 still no engine! patience is getting VERY VERY thin! just want the thing back!
my 50mpg mondeo is like having a dci back, its going to be me going thru all the pain again of getting used to the MPG which ive just finally learned to accept lol
i loved mine, massive step up over a 172/182, obviously not in performance they are pretty much on par ive found, 200 handles and stops much much better though.
engines character is different from a 172/182, its smooth and nice to drive low down which i felt the older ones wern't, mid range...
exactly! its not the end of the world.
engine was authorised by renault warranty today and is on order, 5 days lead time, hoping to have it back in 10 days, they have extended my mondao hire car as i dont want a shitty curtisy car and quite like the mondao for what it is!
crankshaft bearing...
totally was telling one of my mates a few days ago how life is just going to plan and couldnt be better! now a week later i just need to lose my job and thats everything screwed lol!!! that bad its quite funny now!
as above car is the last of my worries the now but hey ho life goes on! not bothered about anything to do with resale etc i just trade in after a year or 2 anyway, what i am worried about is the dealers complete lack of ability to carry out my 18k service on my dci without the car having to be...
i think pretty much regardless of whats happening with it it will be getting a new engine, what i decide to do with it after that we will see! not sure i want a performance car that cant stand up to the way a performance car should be driven!
nearly 2 months lol, waiting to see the final diagnosis before i take any action, could end up being something silly but for something to be proper knocking and banging loudly and loss of engine power that doesnt sound good to me!
AA have just recovered it, guy said it sounds like bottom end failure, woop woop!!!!
got a big f**k off diesel mondaeo, its the most strange handling car ive ever driven! horrible!
2 months old im the first owner. bloddy renault. on the phone to my favourite dealers trying my hardest to stay calm at their "were fully booked until next week and have no curtisy cars" attitude.
it genuinely sounds like somethings let go in the engine.
