4 weeks on poor 182 still lies in bits.

[newbie# old172]

After being rear-ended in a crash and getting a crumpled boot floor car was off to the garage for a repair.

Only for Renault to first send a boot floor with a wheel well (well it was at least for a Clio so not to bad for Renault I suppose) then for the correct one on order to go unavailable and Renault unable to confirm a date for delivery........The wait continues

1.4 Astra hire car just isnt the same

would have thought if the boot floor was crumpled that it would be written off.

 

[newbie# old172]

its only 3 month old so i suppose its cheaper to repair

To make you feel a bit better while they do your car.Try 2nd gear at full revs all the way along the motorway for about half an hour.Should ease the pain a little

Oh for an Astra hire car. Ive got a Modus From the repairer

 

[Breeze]

I had a Modus courtesy car for a day and then a Fiat Punto for 2 weeks when mine was getting fixed in the bodyshop. Both were painfully slow (yes even with foot to the floor in every gear ) and leaned like anything round anything u could call a corner! Made me appreciate my 182 even more than I had before when I got it back!
