Replied to the wrong post maybe?

Glad to hear you finally got a reasonable result. I'm afraid the initial response from Renault is not uncommon, They are saying we only make the cars, we don't sell them, and because most dealers are franchises, it's the responsibility of the franchise to fix the problem, not ours! What Renault UK s...

Good to hear you've got your problems solved (eventually :roll: ) I'd certainly keep pressing Renault for loss of earnings following poor service from your dealer. Why on earth did they want it for 3 days? The top engine mounts are Hydroelastic (fluid filled) and the fluid leaks out, causing the mou...

Firstly welcome to the forum :wave Sorry to hear that you have had problems with your car. Early Megane's were very hit and miss with build quality. I think there are a number of threads throughout the forum that talk about various instances of water ingress. Have you had a look on the forum at Park...

I think Silver is a classic colour that just does'nt date with time. True there are lots of Silver cars on the road but it just goes to show how popular the colour is. I love black on cars, but its a bugger to keep clean, (having owned a Black Renault 5GT turbo :grin ) Midnight (DOOM) Blue has to be...

Have you tried posting on the forum at Parkers?

Picked the car up tonight, and all is well. I'd forgotten how quiet and smooth it was.

As I'd said earlier, the top engine mounting had collapsed. Bottom one is fine (I asked them to check this as well, thanks for the tip Rover!)

So I'm happy once again (I'm easily pleased)

Car still not ready as parts have not arrived. Grrrr

Just spoken to the garage and my top engine mounting has gone and surprise surprise there are no engine mountings available until tomorrow, so I am without the car for another day

So the wife will have to take me work again

BigAL What king of engine treatment are we talking about here, Oil or Fuel or both. Why would they want to take your cylinder head off, unless they suspect you have one or more cylinders that are a bit low on compression; In my opinion, a compression test needs to be done first, and then if there is...

Well the car finally goes in to have this looked at on the 31st, had to cancel the other date for various reasons. Since I first noticed this, it's got worse. I now get a grumbling/knocking noise when setting off particularly if I don't give it enough rev's e.g on hill starts. I also get a sort of h...

Had the car back at the dealers yesterday afternoon for an initial investigation. I've had to book it in as they were really busy but the owner (who I'm very friendly with) sat in the drivers seat and agreed that there did seem to be a lot of vibration being transimitted through into the cabin. He t...
