truly amazing!! Have found a really good Renault specialist in Colchester[AUTOENHANCE] who have replaced front/rear shocks --front/rear discs and brakes -- wheel bearing and [hopefully] sorted out the leaky steering rack. I have now realised that the 'hardcore' ride was infact NO Suspension :!: :!: Picked her up yesterday £870 lighter and could not believe the difference - she feels brilliant as if I'm floating on air :D
Highly recommend this company - service and prices were excellent :!:

She is still really low but feels like I'm up in the air!! just shows what a difference suspension can make [seeing as I didn't actually have any!!!]
It is a lot of money but worth it - I'm pretty sure that will sort me out now for a bit - engine wise she runs a sweet as anything and has Never let me down [frantic touching of wood :!: ]

frt shockers £40.72 each
rear £46.28 each
rear discs £91.00 a pair including new bearings
rear pads £36.00
frt discs £82.00 pair
frt pads £27.00
frt bearings £43.40

all genuine parts total to £496.88 + vat and i bet you any money they will have got 20% off those prices are even used non genuine. A leaky PAS pipe or a rack can be easily repaired for £30. The price above is for 4 new bearings as well !!!!

The price seems a bit excessive as nearly £400 of it is labour - all the above could be easily fitted in about 2hrs

But if your happy thats all that matters - nothing worse than someone telling you youve paid to much for something
