Its been four years since I got my HDi Estate and think I've finally reached the end of my teather with it now..... even more annoyingly this was brought on by a "fully qualified renault tech" fluffing up what granted I should of had a crack at myself but didn't.
Going to look at a 607 2.2 tomorrow any advice? It's high miles but looks well enough.
Just put the 306 in for its MOT.... got 11.5 months left now but got a annoying & dangerous sounding "click" coming on every rotation of the wheels on n/s (no coincidence its where Mr Renault extrodinaire was working)
And to boot the day of the MOT whie finishing off the jobs I'd paid him to do and fixing the extra jobs he caused me to have to do I left the wheelnut locker on and its flown off somewhere so now can't get the wheels off to examine his job.
All I needed doing was a cv-boot and bolt into the beam for the hanbrake cable mount/guide. Even though I provided all the tools he just went straight at it and yanked the driveshaft out of the box and then acted all suprised when it ditched (what I later measured to be) 1.3l of my nice Millers gearbox oil all over the drive.... no apologies or jack shit...... and no car to go get more oil either, then while reassembling it yanked the cv joint clean apart and couldn't get it back together properly either. oh and stripped the threads on the droplink too resulting in having to buy a totally unrequired new one.
Since then and now with my inability to even inspect it as havent got any spare wheel bolts or tool to remove the lockers and the knowledge i have a "shitmix" of gearbox fluid its just exacerbated my "boredom" with the car and calling quits and jumping on another car is my intended course of action
The engine has never let me down but always everything else so really just at end of my teather now.
