    2200 miles and its going into the dealership already!

    great. 2200 miles on the clock, pulling up through the revs on the motorway and suddenly BANG, engines knocking its head off, car shuddering and cuts out.

    hope my curtisy car is half decent!

    Is it a new car (IIRC it is) or is it 2200 miles into your ownership? My courtesy car bet is on a 1.5 DCI Kangoo

    Keep us posted on what the problem is & the customer service.

    2 months old im the first owner. bloddy renault. on the phone to my favourite dealers trying my hardest to stay calm at their "were fully booked until next week and have no curtisy cars" attitude.

    it genuinely sounds like somethings let go in the engine.

    Reliable then?

    Bit of a shame that. People start to question the car even aftre it's fixed. Not a good start.

    If you are having problems get onto renault customer service, they can help sort it.

    Good luck, this was my courtesy car wehen the 200 went in:



    They wouldn't cover me on their own insurance so I added it to mies with a vaue of 8k and faxed the garage a copy of the certificate. 2 minutes later I had the service guy screaming down the phone cause it was worth more than 8k LOL.

    How long have you had it.

    If less than 6 months, insists on a full return and refund.
