On the way home from work tonight, I tried to put it into 3rd gear, and I felt a small thud, and now all I can do is choose I think 3rd and 4th.
The gear stick just makes circles and finds it hard to actually get into 3rd and 4th.
I've taken the car back about 4 times in the last 3 years with problems about my gear stick seeming to be 'further back' than it was. When looking under the car, there was a bar I could see looking lower than it should.
The 1st time it happened, I gently pushed it up, and tried that. My gears where correct again. However, being paranoid and the car only being a few months old at the time, I took it to Renault. The found no fault.
Over time, this fault happened again and again, I just push edit back and thought it was just one of them things.
Eventually, I get fed up and started to take it to the dealer I bought it from. They checked it, and said some bar (guessing the one I saw too low) had 'impact damaged' and was not covered by warrenty.
Well, the obvious thing I can see was, if it had hit something, it was because its hanging down from the car and it shouldnt be. Thus eventually hitting something. So not my fault. they refused to fix it.
3 weeks later, after my last moan at the dealer, its finally gone all together.
I can see that the bar has now split on the 90 degree bend, and looks like maybe snapping.
My problems are... 1) Why wont they fix it under warranty? 2) Why was the bar starting to hang lower? 3) Is that why I'm now mixing paint in 3rd and 4th? Or has more broken?
Also... will this cost much? (Warrenty till 27th October, but they always refuse to fix it)
