broke down

[carl-182]

got a shock today going home from asda with our lass and the baby.my 182 just started juddering the way you would if you ran out of petrol. started to slow right down so i pulled over and came to a stop the revs were ticking over on 2000.so i turned the car of and that was it wouldnt start at all.i had to leave the car and jump on the bus got home and joined the rac £106 they were brill came out in half an hour. the guy solved the problem in 10 mins the butterfly in the fuel regulator was gammed.so taking it into my local reno dealer mon morning.has anyone else had this prob with there clios. the moral of the story is join a breakdown service!!!! because you never know my car is only 1 year old cheers:dapprove:

Didn't you get the free breakdown cover with your car anyway? When I bought my 172 it still had a year left on the standard 3 year breakdown.

You should have a card in ur handbook with aa road assistance/renault assistance or sumfing like that written on with a phone number on the back. For the first three years you get free aa asisistance from renault so if youve got a 182 you should still have it. See if you can cancel your rac one and get your money back!
