I will need to get a service on my R27 in October and just wondered where those from Nottingham are happy taking the car for servicing?

Should I avoid Renault dealers like the plague or is there one locally with a good reputation?

Any advice will be much appreciated!

Diamond motors are in Nottingham, very very good reputation and very helpful.

Hi Raptor, this was the one I was going to recommend. Did an absolutely fantastic job and I'm definitely going back!

A bit of a drive up the M1, but Harratts Renault at Wakefield are fantastic, they'll probably match the independent price. Honestly the best garage around, I even still take the 11yr old 172 track car there.

Ask for Adam when you call and say you got it from Danny

Perfect - that's that sorted then!

My R27 has done 30k miles and was last serviced in October 2011. Since the last service it has only done 3k miles and I only do about 3k miles a year. (I just bought the car).

Am I right in thinking I need the timing belt doing in October (as it will be 5 years old) but the next service will not be until October 2013? (ie every 2 years or 12k miles).

I'm not sure about the 197, but that sounds about right for the timing belt.

Great

Does anyone else know anymore about the service intervals?

[Clio200pat]

Servicing is 12k or every 2 years.

Aux belt is every 3 years.

Cam belt is 72k or every 5 years.

Perfect cheers.

Dont avoid the aux belt and relative tensioner and pulleys at 3 years as this is the weak point! Horror stories of tensioners failing....
