In the last few weeks I noticed my gearbox has gone. started to do the famous 4th gear crunch, and a weird 1st to 2nd gear pop. great timing as my service due notice is also up and I just lost my job.
I contacted RUK and have so far got 75% off the gearbox and a years warranty on parts and labour which i have yet to say yes to, however the man from RUK was adamant its not a common problem even when i mentioned this site and various threads. He was more concerned with making sure i was going to have my service at a Renault dealership at the cost of £440 !
This got me thinking about the poll results here, 25% with new boxes, and the thread posted last week or whenever it was about Renault selling their 30,000th renaultsport. surely this means that on average that 7,500 RS clio's have had new gearboxes. not counting all the people who have had rebuilt ones or factoring in people who's car's are too new for the problem to surface yet.
How can they keep avoiding this ? And does anyone have any tips for getting the last 25% out of them. Cheers
