    Renault extended warranty??

    Every warranty issue I had with my 197 turned into a battle so personally I would not want to pay for an extension of what is already ****.

    She's gone.

    Horses for courses; I travel two motorway junctions every day, wasn't like I could get the most out of the 197. One thing I won't miss and that's the Renault customer service; To think people pay to extend this is a mistery.Luckily she was a very reliable 197.

    I saved that much on the Focus it left me a few grand to play with...hmmm.

    Yes, he knows about us. New Focus 1.8 Zetec. Plush and smooth but a world away from the 197.

    She's gone.

    After 28 days without a response to my Pistonheads advert I finally got a call yesterday; my 197 has now gone. I was quite excited picking up my new car today (had trouble sleeping last night tbh) but I have to confess I became bored on the 4 mile journey home. Look out for a chap in Brierly...

    Dissapointed in Renault...

    And this is how dealers will behave until Renault do something about it. That's why they are bottom of the JD survey; have been for years and that's where they'll stay. I see people wanting to take extended Renault warranties but the one the car comes with is bad so why would anyone pay for more...

    Tracking / 4 wheel alignement?

    Just seen it, my bad. Mine cost £32.00 all in, as I say, they only mess with the front setup.

    Tracking / 4 wheel alignement?

    I had this done again last weekend. I went for laser alignment at a place called Chemix. As the rear axle is fixed I don't think they can do anything other than adjust the front. I noticed straight away how much better it was but my steering wheel is out by about two minutes from true.

    I did not know that...

    If you leave your keycard in the slot, open the door (whilst stationary) go around to the boot and press the Renault button twice you ....... just give it a go.

    People of Birmingham

    It is one of our nicer hamlets but there are no pubs in Bourneville; something to do with the Cadbury brothers putting a clause in when they allowed the council to build on the land.
