My local dealer starts their own RS owners club - FAO Day, fUbAr etc

[-Leigh-]

Just got home to a flyer from my local dealer titled "Westover launch Renault Sport Owners Club".

So, my local dealership is starting it's own club it seems. Apparently Gareth from the dealership is a member of the Renault Sport Owners Club (is that the renaultsport forum?), perhaps he's on here too? As he owns an arctic 182.

Apparently they will offer 20% discount on parts and labour to all members with Renaultsports. So at least we won't have to pay as much for them to bugger up our cars.

And they're going to start track days at Combe and Goodwood too.

A good thing to see is that they have a advert for Elf 5W40 oil on the flyer, so at least they know what oil to put in, unlike many dealers.

Well, I'm going to join up, worth a punt.

How do you become a member?

Send an email to gareth with your details. If anyone wants the details, PM me, and I'll send them as I don't want to put them up on the forum incase they are abused etc.

Thats not too bad, 20% off parts would be cool. Pitty i'm nowhere near .

 

[CabinFever]

Is that Power Ranger from RS??

 

[-Leigh-]

Not sure. Could be I know he's from Bournemouth way.

 

[Fletcher]

Is that Power Ranger from RS??

Well he does work for Renault?

 

[Pete.]

When I met him he was working in the Parts Dept.

It would still be a heck of a lot cheaper to go to Rentech or Carlton if you live down this way, we aren't exactly limited by choice.

Westover wanted to charge me for a Air-Con service when I had my Cup and took it in there

Track-days would be interesting though, always wondered why Platinum Renault never sorted out anything like this out with Castle Combe as they had some sort of deal/agreement with them last season anyway.

LOL PMSL at the Cup aircon service! Don't tell me the ABS had developed a fault.

 

[Daz]

Some 172 Cup's had Climate tho? That's the same thing isn't it? Heh.

 

[drunknmunky]

xzibit, if we sign up, and want parts, how we gonna get them??

 

[Nafoff]

this was also mentioned by a lad who works at renault in taunton a while back

 

[JR]

Yeh , never materialized though, John his name was, Kings of Taunton

LOL PMSL at the Cup aircon service! Don't tell me the ABS had developed a fault.

Yeah, I mean why would all those people who had the optional climate on later cups , or who own 182 cups want it serviced

This was AFTER my service when I went to pick up my car

It'll only be for people in the area I'd imagine, hence FAO Day and crew.

Ukaskew, I hear you, and I will continue going to Rentech, but there are times when I have needed the odd part to fit myself, or my car won't make it the 75 miles, like my dodgy brakes on my 172, they came and got it as it's only 8 miles away, and times like that 20% is better than a kick in the crotch.

 

[Day]

I'm banned from westover.

I'd not even go there to return all their junk mail they still send me lol

Can get parts direct from the same place as they do via Rentech with the same discounts. Mike tends to ring you when the part is in too.

 

[-Leigh-]

PMSL, fair enough.

I find the Blandford branch excellent. The Salisbury one's a joke. Sold me a 182 without the tyre foam and after many calls, still never got any and had to buy my own.

 

[Day]

Previous incarnation (olympian) owed me £700 before they went bust...

 

[ukaskew]

Ah it's not just me then! I still get service reminders and flyers from them despite informing them I don't own a Renault anymore.

I never even used Westover thinking about it, it was still Olympian.

Re-read the post. They charged him for aircon service. His particular Cup doesn't have air con.

 

[fUbAr]

just seen this thread.

20% off sounds good... as do the trackdays. In fact, walking into Westover and not having to explain what a "clio 182" is sounds awsome!

who do I speak to about signing up for my discount?
