What an amazing thread....
Holdcroft Renault, Stoke on Trent!!! Idiots they are there.
When i had a faulty cat on the 182 which i had already had replaced under waranty they told me as they have already done it once it will need to go to another approved renault dealer to be replaced under warranty they can only do it once.....hmmmm different lol
O, and i recently went to test drive a 197....for one they didnt even ask to see my licence which was abit strange and also according to the guy there the 197 in its current form is that accomplished theres never going to be any more variants, no cup, r26 etc... etc... o and also they will never make one with a spoiler as the diffuser is that good....so i said the roof/boot spoiler in the options brochure is a mis-print then???

i used to work for a renault dealership as a mechanic
once a women come into the parts department and said she had a wheel trim missing on her clio and i was asked to go out and see which type of wheel trim it was and get part no of it.
i go out to the car with the woman and all 4 wheel trims are on her car so i say to her all her wheel trims are there.
she takes me to the back of the car,opens the boot and says the wheel trims missing off her spare wheel!!!!
how i stopped myself from p***ing myself with laughing there and then i don't know.

1.2 MK2 PH2
I work for Sh*troen... I mean Citroen and sometimes I get embarassed about telling ppl how much it costs to do things or part costs etc! The parts lads know their stuff and things like to repair a top glove box cover on a Picasso costs silly money because we have to order a full new dash board (YES A FULL NEW 1) because citroen say it needs to be that way... terrible really... But we are bound by process 
Mechanics can loose their job for doing 'side jobs' or 'bodge jobs' so they never risk it!
I love the customers that seem to know better than the mechanics who have over 6-7year experiance on citroens alone and work on 10+ a day
Like just recently we had a young kid in, in a C2 VTS with a stripped diff, 2 illegal back tyres, green neon light on the grill and he swore to god he has nothing but nursed his car from the day he got it (6month ago it had about 10k miles on it to)
Our salesmen talk some b****cks like.... They tried to tell me that the c4 VTR will smoke a megane 225... I just walked off.

LY V6 with Recaros
When I went to test drive the 225, the salesman was trying to convince me my car was an import because I bought it from Lloyds tsc Carselect.
Him: Oh, so it's an import?
Me: No
Him: It must be, all cars that are cheaper on the internet are imports, Renault would never allow it to be sold for that cheap otherwise
Me:No, I can assure you my car is not an import
Him: I bet it doesn't have an alarm?
Me : Yes it does
Him: Ok, it must be fully specced then, but it will only have a years warranty with it.
Me: No I have a full 3 years warranty, I've just had something repaired under warranty after a year. The logbook is uk registered too
Him: Well some imports wont say it is on the logbook or show up on a hpi, but it will definitly be an import. If you look on the v5 it will say 2-axle rigid body. This means it's an import.
Me: Yeah whatever, I'm getting bored of this now! I work for a dealers and see v5s everyday, nearly all of them say that!
Also, the week before I took the 225 out when I was booking the test drive, the car there was a ff 225 with cup packs on, which is what I thought I would be driving. It had the anthracite chunky wheels. The following week the car had cup wheels on and was a different age. I said to him (same salesman) , oh it's a different car? I wasn't bothered really, so no need for him to lie..he denied it and said it was the same one we see last week. I said, erm, noo, this one has different wheels and is newer, it's a cup isn't it? He denied this, even though I know what I see! t**t!

MKIII 138
buying a £20,000 top of the range meganesport and being told that the fuel cap isnt covered under warenty and that i had broken it after owning it for only a short while from new ! when in fact loads of megane fuel caps stick out when there not meant too from brand new.
end result.. i walked over to the mercedes garage and expressed interest in an AMG which i may be getting rather soon

1.8 8v RSi
I think the funniest time I went into the dealer was when I had the 172cup, there were two good looking girls behind the parts desk and i was after a bumper plastic screw, and i said:
me "Hi, I'm after a screw"
her "ooohh i see"
Suffice to say they couldnt contain their laughter and began giggling away with me getting redder by the second
lmfao
Blue Clio 182
My car was in garage for something and i used the pick up, drop off service as i work 9-5 and didnt want to use a days holiday!! anyway when they bloke dropped it off i took him 5 mins down the road to his house and he said "i like driving these renault sports" I just laughed and said it's not a sport it's a 1.2, He said looking quite embarrassed oh i thought it was with the wheels and with it being colour coded... wait for the best bit...... "it's just with it having the alloy tax disc holder and the seat belt pads that made me think it's a sport" he was a salesman at this, makes you wonder if they know what they are talking about when you buy a car!!
Oh and forgot to mention this was the second time it had been in the garage, when i got it back the problem was still there although they said they had done it, rang to book it in again and they said we cant book it in to do a job weve alrady done, best thing to do is get the AA out and they can find the problem then bring it back, So that's what i did but I took it to a different Renault dealer they sound like proper muppets, they was basically saying they didnt now what the problem was.. So they dont only employ thicko's who know nothing about the cars they sell, they employ divi's who dont know how to fix them...

When i traded my Ph1 172 in for the 182... the sales guy went out to value my 172.
he came back in asking about the bodykit i had fitted and if i would be removing it before i traded it in.
Here's a picture of how my car looked when he went to value it
