Definitely give Fred a ring, he'll sort you out good he did my 172 brakes just before I sold it and did a stellar job. Even gave the car a quick once over for me just to check everything was as it should be.

Nah i have,nt had mine done as yet, its still coming up "service due soon" on computer, where is this fred's place to get a service???
And will Renault be ok with a service off them (with car still having the 3 year warranty)???

 

[mbk197]

I believe he can stamp the book, as long as genuine renault parts are used there shouldn't be an issue. And he'll do a much better job than renault as well.

Post code for the place is B33 0SL

 

[withoutabix]

ye any place can stamp your service book aslong as its VAT registered

i just dont trust the renault dealerships round by me, they seem to know really little about the renaultsports and i can just imagine somebody who has never worked on a 197 being let loose on mine!

would rather take it to somewhere thats had raving reviews and knows what there on about! plus its soo much cheaper

hmy: so Renault dont supply the correct oil when they do a service?:confused1:

 

[withoutabix]

well according to my service booklet at its first service renault put in 5/30w when its supposed to have 5/40w.

I had topped it up with 5/40w but didnt know the wrong stuff was in it until fred mentioned it! now happily running 5/40w race oil and i can honestly say its running alot smoother.

also the cabin air filter had never been changed and was apparently rather disgusting!
