whats involved on the 72000 mile service? when are the major service intervalls..

might be a hagling aid for saturday! cams been changed a few months back though

how much from renault for minor/major services?

[Rudders16v]

The minor services are every 6k and major every 36k so 72k is a major service, not sure whats involved or price.

I was given a price last week from my local Renault dealer of £140 for a 6k service

i was quoted 225 by renault london for a 6k mile service asked why it was so much and the sales women repiled well we do give it a good clean after. great. lol

Stick to a good independent garage . Renault garages are complete rip-offs IMO . The 6k service is a very basic service anyway , with only really the oil and filter being changed and a quick check-over of the whole car.

For reference the correct labour time is 1hr 10mins which means at our garage we would charge @£30 for Labour and around £20-30 for oil and filter (depending on oil used) .

140notes for a 6K service.......

complete rip off and so Renault!!!

although if it upholds the warranty......

[Swervin_Mervin]

Service with OE parts done by yourself will not affect any warranty. Quite often the dealerships only use cheap bits anyway, rather than OE.

Best to get a specialist to do the work IMO, or DIY.

Mikes correct . As long as correct OE parts are used you are allowed to service the vehicle anywhere of your choosing to maintain a manufacturers warranty . Obviously dealers are not too keen to let customers know this.

And dealers will tell you a million other things are wrong and need changing that don't!

so wots 72k service include with addition to minor's?

Cambelt, although i'd do this every 36k or 3/4yrs, whichever comes first.

Steering column aswell i think at 72k?
