Renault parts supply

[Elliott_3R]

Hi all,


Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing the same issues as me with Renault.

I have 2011 Renault Clio 200 RS Cup. I had the unfortunate incident of hitting a deer on the 1st Feb 2013. Since then the car has been at the body shop waiting for a a front bumper. Renault have been unable to even give me a date on when they expect a restock of parts. This is from Renault Europe.

It's getting increasingly frustrating and I find it unbelievable that something as simple as a bumper is unavailable. Not exactly a great ownership experience. You'd have thought they would have parts for a car only two years old.

If anyone else has experienced something similar, it would be good to know.


Cheers,


//Elliott

I tried to order a part for my 197 and was told it was on back order and around 10 days for delevery.

I got it from R-Sport in wimbledon got it from dieppe in 3 days.

So, the front bumper finally arrived.... THIS WEEK! 7 months after the incident...! Crazy.

Sounds like 'a supply problem outside of our control' type reply situation.

R-sport in Wimbledon, formerly Radbourne Racing, are top guys and better to go to someone like them as they will cut out the UK middle men and go straight to source.
