I'm starting to think I should have listened. Everyone said "don't buy renault, you'll have issues". In all honesty I thought "whatever", every car can have issues.
Rewind back to yesterday morning, plan was to go to the gym, come back and get booked in for a service at some point with 519 automotive.
Unfortunately what happens is I can't get my car into any gear at all first thing in the morning, at the time I thought no worries it's just cold. Trouble started when I pulled up to a roundabout (car was warm) and the car simply would not go into gear.
The car had to be taken to Renault and they have informed me that I need a new gearbox and steering rack (was getting knocking when doing full lock).
It get's better though, I've been told I will have to pay if Renault don't cover it as it's one month out of manufacturers warranty, but bear in mind my car has 12 months used car warranty.
So the (franchised) renault dealer will contact renault to see if they will cover it as it's just out of manufacturers warranty but if not then the used car warranty won't cover it.
So as it stands I'm driving a bag of **** twingo and I have a large repair bill over my head.
I've contacted renault customer services earlier this evening as I don't think it's right that I should have to pay for a new gearbox as I have a used car warranty, they will apparently call me back tomorrow.
I'm so annoyed with all this.....
