Well were do i start...
Firstly got a Renault Clio 1.4 16v 2006 40,000 Miles, from there nearly a year ago now, and had nothing but trouble with it.
When i bought it they said its been through checks and the car is excellent to drive!
Anyways Week later is were everything went wrong.
*Steering Rack
*Back Window Seal Broke (then noticed they had cracked rear wiper cover)
* Coil pack Gone
*New Clutch
* Wouldn't go into Reverse
Anyways after all the trouble i had they just *Found it funny* in the end they asked if i wanted to swap it for something else for the same value.
So i choose a 1.4 8v Grande Punto Active Sport with 36,000 Miles on clock.
Few scratches on car and chips, but they promised me they would get them removed and they wouldn't return.
Week later washed the car, scratches had all returned, and the stone chips were colored in the wrong color....
Week after it needed a new stabilser bar, but they tightened it up they said. Never worked and was still banging..
Heater resistor went next...so they jammed the pins in and wrapped tape around it...Driving home one night and it started smoking and burning.
New resistor fitted.
Next was airbag light to come on.
Replaced airbag console never worked etc..
Found out they damaged a wire for the airbag when they were sorting resistor problem out or something...
Next, coolant was black and smelt funny..
They flushed it out and replaced with fresh.
4 weeks later, car miss fires, and wouldn't let me drive it, head gasket gas gone apparently and coolant has returned to black.
Next, Gearbox wont let me put into 1st or reverse
Have a knocking noise on front drivers side which the garage cannot find, so had to bring my friend down who is a mechanic and he pointed it out to them.
And i'm now considering asking if im invited to there Christmas party...
I will never purchase from this garage again...
