Ive lost all drive to the wheels.... GREAT!!!! 2 new boxes in under 11 thousand miles.... Well im hoping its not a box but what else could it be?

This happened to me after having the casing breaking on mine. Feck me we have the same car!!!
Anyway mine wasnt that bad. I lost all drive to the wheels as well. I had it checked and because either the rev counter showed the revs or the speedo whent up even if you wasnt moving but just reving in gear it showed that it wasnt the box. or somthing like that!
It ended up being a pin or somthing. Cost 6 pound for the part and £40 labour to have it fixed.

Steve,
Your not having much luck with your car at the moment!
Look on the bright side, at least you will be dealing with the nice friendly, intelligent people at Priory Renault!

yeah fair enough. But it DOES happen to all cars and is the luck of the draw!!!
You will find someone on every make of car who has serious problems from day one with there car. Either from accident damage, from the factory. Or bodged repairs!
Not saying renault are plagued by faults. I fully agree mate. But it aint just renaults and I wouldnt say dont buy renault!
Im sorry but i have asked round and nobody I know has ever had problems like I have had with a NEW car.... Soemtimes there is a little niggly problem thats fixed and thats it... Renaults dont know how to even make cars... im well f**ked off with them I dont want the c**ting car anymore

I will second that. Next door neighbour bought a new Mini cooper when they first come out.
He has since had a new gearbox, 4 new clutch cables, new clutch. In the end they gave him a new car and some extra goodies.
Besides someone who posted above owns a valver and they arent new. I wasnt specifically just referring to new cars. But some new cars do have these problems!

Dear Mr Talou-Verible
I am again without the use of my Clio 1.2 16v Extreme. I have experienced several faults within the first year, engine cut outs, stalling, electrical fault lights, airbag fault light the latest being a replacement gearbox.
I now have a clutch or transmission failure. Either the Clio Sport models are poorly designed and manufactured or the garage ‘Priory at Northfleet’ does not have the ability to carry out repairs to a satisfactory conclusion.
They also never have a curtsey car available and seem not at all bothered that repairs take weeks rather than days. Could you please assist me with these problems?
Thanks in anticipation.
