a service question

[stu sim]

im about to get my 1.9 DCI a service and timing belt done !!! it has 62 000 on the clock and im just wondering if more things should be changed other than the oil and filter as this is what ive been told !!! also could anyone tell me the best oil to use at this millage "THANKS"

[Ray]

this is my list of stuff to service on the 15th when my car goes in.

72k service - replacing all filters (oil, air, fuel, cabin/pollen), change oil (supplying my own Motul X-Cess 5w40), change coolant, air con service, cambelt change, aux belt change, replace water pump, change brake fluid, new radiator cap,

Same as Ray but without the fuel or air filters as I did them a month or so ago.

ray - you must bne hitting the £ 1000 mark on that one ?

£500 - £580 I was quoted. The dealership was the lower figure.

I'm also having an MOT at the same time. And i'm supplying my own oil. so take off £30-35 off the Renault costs. Independants have that cost factored in.

Quotes:
Renault Oldham - REA Group - £859.05 (would have booked, but only 1 courtesy car for the dealer )
Renault Stockport - Lookers group - £985 but dropped to £850 after telling them I had a cheaper quote elsewhere - They'll also give a "Lookers Loyalty Card" which banks me 10% of what I pay, off my next service/repair - in effect £85 off next time
Independant Garage - Riverside Rievelo - £884.58
Independant garage - John Deleny - £839.30

Try this one from my local friendly main dealer.......

1.6/5 door petrol, 45 k miles....

£ 600 for f & r new discs and pads
£ 200 - new exhaust
£ 200 - for service
£ 500 - timing belt
£ 300 wiring loom (re usual air bag fault)

- none of these jobs were completed. Depahser went at 26 k miles (40 months), independents did brakes for 2/3 cost, used £ 5 plastic padding on exhaust, and pushed connectors back in for wiring loom

Oh missed off £ 300 for window regulator.

after reading all that i think i will just do the oil and filter and go on a cruse instead !!! but thanks for all your help and comments
