Time has come for me to get a Major Sefvice done on the Car as she has done 34k.

Am going to change the brakes now, but before I do it, I Want to know if any of you have uprated your brakes and did it make a worthy difference as the brakes seem pretty damn good as standard.

Also if any of you have had your brakes done or a Major service at Renault I would be interested in the cost

Cheers

Do the brakes yourself its easy and very cheap.

My dealer wanted £90 for just pads Ive got disks and pads for £57 and can fit them for free very easily.

Your cars over 3yrs old isnt it ie out of warenty?

If so then I wouldnt take it to Renault take it to a normal garage who know what there on about ie GDi who will charge you much less for just as good a job.

mmm could do but they arent really anywhere near me, also would they still be able to change the auxillary belt etc?

Yep GDI can change all the bits.

Might be worth getting a local Renault quote then ring GDI for a price. The saving might be worth getting up early for.
