Renault Sport Servicing

[Clio_Jim®]

Hello all,
Having now owned a 182 for a full 3 weeks and having it returned to Lookers Renault 3 times, its kinda knocked my confidence in them ever resolving my problems. Can anyone recommend a Renault Sport specialist in the South East that I can get my car checked out at?

Cheers

Whats the faults? Surely that many faults in such a short period of time must mean you can refuse it and demand a new one?

The list goes like this:
Clunk on pull away (ABS Pump test they think)
Different clunk when changing gear (theyve replaced an engine mount already but it still does it)
Alarm randomly beeping (After I found the answer on here I asked lookers not to fix it, I didnt fancy some Monkey messing with my wiring)
and finally really rough tick over which they put down to how the engine is tuned.
Basically I wanted a specialist to check it out and let me know if its ok.
I wouldve kicked up but I got a Friends and family discount from the dealership...

So its only really the clunk on gear change thats abnormal and tbh, Id be surprised if most sont have their little clunks and bumps.

I was starting to get the impression that most 182s clunk and bump, but Lookers were sooooo vague about the causes, it worried me. Today Ive filled her up with 99 RON rather than the usual BP Ultimate stuff, that seems to help with the rough running. Its reassuring to know that these things happen to other people too.
