Engine Management light .. Should I be worried?

[Gem]

Just a quick question, the damn engine management light has come on my car again so she's booked into the Renault garage this weekend.

My question is this: will she be safe?

The cov branch are pretty passable. Should be fine if the burton lot are the same.

Yep, place is a bit small but id prefer them to the lot on sir frank whittle in Derby (at least untill 90% of their staff changed last year)

For something like an engine management light I don't know of any other garage I would want to take it to...apart from Birchdown. And thats too far for me this weekend as I'm working.

Cheers Wolfy


And no, I won't be charged. Not as this is the 3rd time in almost as many weeks it's appeared....

Burton is a safer bet than Derby, they aint got 1 qualified technicain anymore i dont think.

Not one? That's shocking. I've heard bad things about the Derby dealers.

Re: FAO Derbyshire Lot - Renault Sutton Park, Burton on Trent

Derby Renault suck bigtime, countless times they have tried to rip me off and fook up my cars, to the point i had to go in 5/6 times a week to get it sorted myself.

Got to the point where i could see several salesman/women hiding in offices so they didnt have to talk to me.

Probably one of my greatest achievements to be honest, love winding them up!

Re: FAO Derbyshire Lot - Renault Sutton Park, Burton on Trent

I've never set foot in the Derby dealers so this is slightly worrying now....lol.

^^ Glad someone knows who im on about! Thought i was making it up! Chances are if you paid anything to Renault Derby in the past 12 months, it went straight in his pocket! Scumbag.

It was Adam and Nick before him , they were sound. I went to work for Brownhills motorhomes after Renault, didnt work out tho mate. Im out the trade now though, dont miss it either.

Are you a member of the RAC AA, if so get them to come out and do a diagnostic, they may be reluctant to do so and may sugest you take it into a dealer. Insist they come out. Had the same problem myself and phoned the RAC, diagnosed fault which was the knock sensor, they cleared fault code. If you can DIY then it will save on a diagnostic and expensive Renault labour charges.
