V6 just gone in for 12k service...

[Subway]

and I got a 1.2 Clio as a courtesy car!!!!!

Why couldn't they of given me a 172/182 or even a R26 meggy!

Such b******s...

Just for the record - I'm not saying a 1.2 is s**t, I'm just saying it's a horrible feeling going from 255 stallions to 75ponies!

Lots of love

[Little Newms]

Did you take it to lookers Chelmsford?

 

[Subway]

f**k know lol

Lookers are absolutely w**k.

Darlington Renault - Only the finest for the vee.

 

[Iain C]

Just for the record - I'm not saying a 1.2 is s**t,Adam x

why not...they are a bit sh1t
75 hp! are they that much?

 

[Subway]

It's unfair to say there s**t. There just slow, doesn't mean there s**t.

Nice handling car and very easy to chuck about without crashing!

Heck a 1.2 was my first car, a lot of good memories!!

 

[Justin]

bet the v6 will feel like warp speed when you get it back

 

[Bubbles]

They dont do 182/172/Meggy courtesy cars do they??they always give you the s**t hehe

 

[DebV6]

Be thankful you didn't get a Modus, that's what I had!

 

[Christopher]

be thankful you didn't get a dci modus like i did.

understeer-tastic

 

[stuartp44]

yeh i got a 1.2 when mine went in to get some work done, there crap it was like driving my old escort again, my god this one had also about 10 seconds lag between putting your foot down and it excellerating and they drink fuel aswell but being in a v6 you probably saving fuel

 

[Leeshez]

It is a shame they don,t give you a car like for like lol

 

[Maz]

I got a micra the last time mine went in .. lol

 

[edde]

They don't have 172/182 as can you imgaine the crashs people would have in them particualy as most insurers would have rules like no under 25's in them etc. Some dealerships have problem with them as they themsleves have to abide by rules like no under 25 to drive the 172/182 cars for insuracne purposed when there in for services and they are people they have control over.

Not worth the hastle for a dealership

 

[TomTom]

Yeah not allowed to drive Clio sports, but a mapped 2.2 Dci laguna is quicker, or it felt quicker. Think the bloke said it was 170 bhp

1.2s are slow but there a solid engine

 

[Subway]

Good service...cost £223.95 (inc vat) and they washed it for me!

Poor 1.2 got abused badly today, it done well though.

Darlington Renault is highly recommended!

 

[Middo]

my 1.2 16v corsa is soundng decidably rough since i've owned it lol. just hoping they dont take it for a test drive over speed humps lol. You'll apreciate the power even more when u get it back on the plus side

Built to a price though but yep they take soem abuse.

2.0 175hp is the top spec one 400NM limited since the box won't with warently take any more.

2.2 is a 150HP one.

 

[Leeshez]

Be thankful you didn't get a Modus, that's what I had!

I had a modus diesel once a 5 door one. Oh dear god

 

[stuartp44]

Leeshez. Oh dear god

moduses are that bad ? i herd they wer built on the clio and they came up with modus

 

[edde]

Be thankful you didn't get a Modus, that's what I had!

I had a modus diesel once a 5 door one. Oh dear god

I love the Modus great laught the car is. A sporty version would be very good compete quite well I'd recon in the market.

My local dealer (camden renault milton keynes) are even worse, they won't even let you sniff a courtesy car until you have proof of your own fully comp insurance for their car! Shittest dealership I've ever used.

[bendee]

im looking forward to getting a courtesy car, just so i can apretiate mine even more as ive forgot what the 1.2 was like and im far to used to my 172.

 

[Mells]

Be thankful you didn't get a Modus, that's what I had!

lol, modus is a cool car!

I'm going to get one, put a gtt5 engine in it just to be original...... oh wait, I'm not an idiot, so will shut up. lol!

[kriss]

you didnt finish you post Subway?

or are you still thinking of something "funny" to say?

 

[E11OOT]

Yeah my 182 is comming up for it's 1st service! Will be going to darlingtons in Harlow, lookers in chelmsford are crappy, as i discovered when i had to get my old clio serviced (they didn't stamp the book, 'lost' my oil cap, had 20 miles extra on the clock, and refused me another car to run about in!)

 

[al]

Don't go slating the 1.2's they're not that bad!!

Do you get 50mpg? no
Does it cost £100 a year for tax? no

 

[dick]

i wish my 1.2 got 50mpg!

wonder if thats me or the car,
my guess is its me

 

[al]

I used to get 35 from the 1.6 and even managed an 11 lol

 

[stuartp44]

i get about 55 from my 1.5 buts that because it's a desiel

 

[al]

Lol, tbh i'd be peed off if I got less than 50 from an oil burner!

Renault may have the same idea:

Oh no I finished, the funny part was "k-tec" but sadly you’re deluded mind can not see or understand the joke!

^You brought that on yourself! But if you want a hug and a hot cup of coco you know where I am.

agreed, Camden MK are pretty crap from the service point of view - however the sales is in a different league, cos the salesman actually knows what he is talking about with regard to Renaultsport cars.

Had my 12k done at GDI. £154.00 (inc vat) They were just about to wash the car when I turned up early to collect it. "No need to wash it I'll do it myself when I get home"

 

[Subway]

Cruise control isn't working now lol?

Anyone else got/had this problem?

 

[Dash]

Have you turned it on and off again?
