Re: Cost of cambelt service 1.9 Dci

Re: Headlight bulbs again

One of my headlight bulbs went today... i thought it was going to be a nightmare to change. I brought the bulb from halfords and they fitted it for only £2.99... which is really good saying that renault dealers can charge up to £65 for a bulb change. So if your struggling... for the sake of £2.99 po...

EGR Advice Needed!!!

Hi,

I'm thinking out getting my EGR valve cleaned at a garage... does anyone know roughly how much this would cost to get done, that could be either a renault garage price or an independant garage, and help would be greatly appreciated.

So any one had this done and how much did it cost you!!!
