RS 197 Fourth Service - What should i get done Hi I am due my fourth Service and looking at moving away from getting it done at the dealer. I have recently had my Cam Belt Kit and Water Pump changed as the car is now 5 years old and has done 39,000 miles. I know I need to change Oil...

Hi Last Tuesday I got my Cam Belt Kit, Aux Kit, Water pump changed on my RS 197 by Total Control Racing in Wednesbury, West Milands. I would recommend them for any work that needs doing on your RS or any other car. Great bunch of guys and excellent work. Even had a tour of the Garage and the...

Dealer offered to change cam belt for £560 all in with 5 years warranty. Would you take it or leave it? The cheapest independent specialist I found was about about £100 cheaper but with only 12 months warranty.

Ok thanks for all the replies. Any other places in the west midlands would be handy.

Ok thanks Roy. what's involved in the change. Is it all done from underneath the car or do they need to take off the bumper and it's all done from the top. Also what about spark plugs.

Hi Roy What is twingogeeko is it a website. Also do you have details of the garage in Stourbridge as I live in Birmingham. And yes that is a smashing price.

My 197 is coming upto 5 years old and 38,000 miles. I called Renault to book a service and was advised need a cam belt change as well. The cost of this before any service was going to be approx £800. Service cost which was approx £160 plus new sparks a set coming in at about £109 I think. Any...

If i have it covered under the AA warranty wouldnt it be better for it to break or for the problem to get alot more frequent and worse, therefore allowing a mechanic to experince the issue. I drove approx 20 miles from work to home and not a hint of an issue. At lunch time I also took it out...

I called up the AA warranty line and they asked me to book it in with Nationwide Autocentre. When i called them and advised the mechanic of the symptons and now all is okay again. He advised there would be nothing he could do unless the problem continue's. He said there would be no point...

I have drove in to work this morning approx 18 miles and clutch was fine i both took it easy and put my put down at times to see the response. Should i just continue to drive as i would normally until it plays up again or breaks.

My Renault warranty ran out Sept 2009 but i purchased the AA Prestige Mechancial breakdown insurance warranty.

Would this mean it needs replacing. I had the AA come out and have a look and it was fine when he took it for a test drive. I then drove it after he left and same problem again untill i drove it for a few miles and then started to respond normally. What should i do???

Hi After just taking my Clio 197 (56 Plate) for a drive. I noticed that when i try and put my foot down in any gear that Revs climb rapidly but the car is not picking up speed as it would normally do. It feels like if it had a turbo that the turbo is misisng. I cant get over 40 mph...
