Dropped my Cup in Monday to have a Gear box Gremlin looked at and sure enough, it turns out they need to fit a new Gear box!! All under warranty fortunatley. Unfortunately, there is apparently a back order at Renault on Gear boxes and as a result they cannot give me a date on when it will be fixed!! They have said they will give me a courtesey car in the meantime! Wanted to know if anyone else has had the pleasure of a courtesy car and if so, how is insurance dealt with? I would hope Ill not have to pay anything!! Also, if I phone my insurers and let them know the car is off the road indefinitely, do you think they may be able to extend my policy for a few extra weeks at the end!

normally you have to sort out the insurance for the car, but if its going to be for a few weeks you should be able to change the car on the policy for those few weeks and as it will be a much lower category it shouldnt cost you anything. I would then assume that if anything happened to your car while with renault they would cover it?
Just had a call saying they have now received a new gearbox... lady reckons this always happens when the threat of a courtesy car is involved!! Apparently one of the grease monkeys will be beavering away this afternoon and car may be ready for pick up by close of play today!! Not sure if im comfortable with a gear box fitted on a friday PM....!! Still, cant be any worse than the original!
Dixon York charge me £8 every time. Theyve told me I can put it on my insurance then why I try they deny all knowledge of saying you can do it.
Last time I had a courtesy car from them 2 weeks ago, some little git in leeds smashed the rear window and nicked the spare wheel out of the boot outside work in broad daylight. Cost me £180 to get fixed. Grrr. Wouldnt have minded apart from my car was only in the garage as the gits in york had broken something last time the car was in and not fixed something properly as well. Arggh.
Ooops, sorry, got a bit diverted there.
