My first RS197

Soooo .... today I embarked on a simple journey up north to Rotherham to buy a painted black diffuser to save me the hassle and money of getting mine sorted . Simple .

Drove there in the snow so nice and steady . Collected it and set off home . 41 miles from home I hear something . Pull over into the service and well knock knock .

Car sounds like a very old diesel tractor [emoji17]

Recovered home and it is being picked up in the morning by four ashes to find out what is wrong [emoji17]

sure if it something to with poor worksmanship,they will fix it for you at their expense...
 
I'm not sure on poor workmanship as the guy who done it is a master tech and looks the part . Maybe failed parts from renault
 
So the doctors report is in and it's bad news .... big end bearing has failed and ruined the crank in doing so !
