Read the first page only so don't know if you've sorted this now. But going from the first post that's absolutely disgusting from Renault, I've had a few similar run ins with RUK where one day they agree to take action then completely turn around.

As for their workmanship I'd rather take it to Kwik fit, my megs still under 4 months warranty but I repair things myself and take the bullet on cost to save it visiting renault.

Cheers for the input Ben. Nope, I'm still in the exact same situation as when I've started this thread. Hoping to hear something back today

Cheers for your reply buddy @wayne88 seems there's a few people that are having issues, I think this thread is a good highlighting point for people to air their issues.
@smithandroper I'm shocked as to how bad Callow Marsh

@smithandroper I'm shocked as to how bad Callow Marsh Renaults insults are getting,
when I questioned about a complete engine I had a reply stating
"if you want a complete engine replaced, it's going to cost MUCH more than £5,500!

When quite clearly, a full engine replacement is CHEAPER!

These are really boiling my piss now

engine price is + vat and fitting don't forget. Just pointing that out.

not sure if your quote was + vat and labour also.

Sorry to hear about the OPs or problem and hope it gets rectified soon.

I'm having some issues too at the moment and, as a first time Renault buyer of a brand new 200, I will never return to the brand based on the handling of my cases.
[MENTION=62]Wayne[/MENTION], that's a long list of problems. Mine was one of the last 200s to be delivered too-wondering if something went wrong at the end of production.

What is "lower eng mobile towing equip"?

Thanks.

My quote seems its including VAT. But not labour.

Im assuming that removing/refitting and engine is much quicker than stripping parts down, rebuilding the engine and then re-fitting? I can imagine the labour hours would be massive at the end

[Gez]

You've also had a new engine [MENTION=41149]wayne88[/MENTION] !?

 

[wayne88]

You've also had a new engine @wayne88 !?

yep, at 5000miles,metal shavings where found in the sump! gearbox and everything else followed soon after!

 

[Gez]

Jesus.. That's bad!

I've found Callow Marsh on Facebook too.. So it would have been rude not to let everyone on Facebook know the garage issues..

This garage completely ruins Renaults reputation.. Shame what just one garage can do

 

[Mentalpen]

What no twitter? Would have thought you would have tweeted this to every car magazine going tbh

 

[Gez]

I've never used twitter, how does it work? Ill be on there signing up tonight.


is it simple to tweet to everyone? Just a simple '@Evomagazine' for example?

 

[_Ben_]

Nice. Seems crazy to have metal filings in the engine - wonder what investigation Renault does in these cases, presumably the faulty unit would go back to Dieppe where it would be investigated?

After they finished screwing it all back together, did it feel the same? Any damage to the engine bay?

also mine is the recorded last right hand drive rs200 off the production line,
