Haha Fred u flid 
Yep i did....
My car went in due to having a vibration through my seat when accelerating (which i sware was caused AFTER it had been in to reno for the TDCS).. and a problem getting into reverse without crunching..
They said it was EITHER a box or clutch problem.. but to find out would cost something like £600 in labour alone!!!.. the problem i had was: IF it was wear and tear then it WOULDNT be warranty.. if this £600 of labour was carried out and they found it WAS a dodgy part then all warranty!.. Car went in, and seemed to stay for what seemed like months!...excuse after excuse... finally the car went to another garage due to work load?!!.. just after the clutch AND box was replaced under warrenty and the day i was due to pick it up i had a call saying "we have just taken the car out and a little problem... we have heard a noise from the engine and need a few days to check it out"... fair enough.. whats a few more days... they call me back saying "Your engines knackered, your getting a new engine under warrenty"?!?!!?.. i sware my engine was fine before it originally went into reno.. but hey... its been pretty much a new car mechanically wise for the last 10k so im not too fussed... I also paid nothing for any work what so ever! id say the work was not far off the cost of the car too!!
Any one have any ideas if you get warranty for a 10 month old engine even though my car is out of warrenty? im sure reno told me its a year..

Sorry, for some reason when I posted my 'LOL' comment your reply wasn't there. I think my screen hadn't finished loading properly.
Thanks for the reply
Sounds like a big reno f@ck up there. I take it you never actually found out what the problem was and they simply said 'engines kanackered have a new one' or did they give you an explaination of what had happened?With regards to warranty on the engine, I would assume they'd give you a 12 month warranty on it. That's what Subaru did with my old scoob after I got piston slap!

I`ve had a couple of boxes and 1 engine. It started to `tap` pretty loud on tickover. They took in in and said that the cam follwers were fooooked and they would fix it. A day or so later they rang to say they had took pics and were sending them to RUK to try and authorise a new engine....which they eventually fitted for me. Just got to 40k...now on 50k and seems ok

Hi guys,
im a new member from Australia. We have a site called ozrenaultsport.com feel welcome to stop past. Sorry to here about the engine failures. Our Renault service departments in Australia are not very good and can never find any failures.
I have a racing blue 182 with cup chassis and spoiler pack its standard i think in the UK but we only got the spoiler pack as a limited edition.
I have always wondered when they supply or replace an engine how do you/they tell if its a 172 or 182 engine?
