Our Ref: 1-99744704 Dear Sir Thank you for your recent e-mail. You can have a part fitted to your car but this will not be covered under the Renault warranty. The company will porvide you with their own warranty. You can also have your Renault serviced by your local garage as long as genuine Renault parts are used. It is important to remember that if your car is not serviced according to our standards, it may affect your warranty. If a fault occurs which can be attributed to lack of servicing, the repair will not be covered under the terms of the warranty. The same is true if we believe a fault to have escalated because a service was not carried out to Renault standards. I hope that I have answered your question. If you have any other enquiries please feel free to contact us at Renault Customer Services. Regards Nicky Areago Renault Customer Services http://www.renault.co.uk Tel:0800 072 33 72 [email protected]

So basically as some have found, there is a bit of latitude around warranties and servicing - which is good to see from a major manufacturer and is borne out by some recent posts I have read on here
Hopefully this is useful for future reference ...
