    Two new lower ball joints

    Its a ridiculous design that they cant be done cheaper, i mean they class this as wear and tear at £500 a go, i would expect a ferrari to be sitting at that sort of price for a small item like this!

    Two new lower ball joints

    I literally got the same thing yesterday but i only need one ( should really do both ) and im £497, got that down from £589 aswell, its rubbish. wish i could order that part and get someone to do it, but cant really be bothered, the creaking pisses me off that mich i just want it done.

    Classic renaultsport pricing again!

    I share the same hatrid, i just got my warranty free so thought it was good peace of mind, but its useless! yeah very similiar, ive got arnold clark in inverness, then rentec in edinburgh 3 hours away. Anyway thanks for the luck, but i cant see me getting anywhere with this hub!

    Classic renaultsport pricing again!

    Yeah i think your right, then they said 3.5 hours labour, so this works out at £82 per hour?

    Classic renaultsport pricing again!

    I suppose you are right, i just think its madness. Also annoys me that i have autoprotect mechanical gold warranty but they say that this £589 hub is 'wear and tear' Thanks i will try, my nearest specialist is edinburgh i think aswell and thats a 3 hour drive.

    Classic renaultsport pricing again!

    So went to renault and got a free health check today, knew a ball joint was on its way out so they found it obviously. They quotes £589 just for the near side hub ball joint, i know it comes as one but come on? They sell the ball joint on ebay or k-tec for 60/70 quid so might go down that route...

    Passenger door doesn't lock

    CallorFold hi, replying to your comment from another thread - My problem was the two buttons to lock on the handle, first the drivers one went then the passenger went around a week later, i found out later that they were water damaged, sounds silly but i think its right because i didnt take care...

    Specialists in inverness/highland area?

    Yeah that sounds about right for the hub, quite annoying. Will need to get back in contact with my warranty when i get quoted a fully fitted price to see if they will cover it this time. If its £160 i reckon it will be a few hours labour+ aswell taking it over £300
