Servicing around Thames Valley area?

[orangeco]

Hello all, where's the best place to get my V6 serviced? I live in Maidenhead. Should I take it to a Renault dealer, or can anyone suggest a specialist?

15,000 miles, I need a new clutch, for sure. Does this come under warranty?

cant help with your question im affraid but im from reading, do you know of many other v6's in the area? theres a guy round the corner from me who had one but i think hes fully converted it to a track day car as i only ever see it on the back of a truck these days.

Depends on whether it's down to a fault or wear and tear. What's the problem exactly?

Not sure yet. Clutch pedal goes all the way down, but it's almost impossible to get it into 1st gear. When you let the clutch pedal back up only a fraction, it fully bites and jerks the car forward.

Hmmm ... others have mentioned clutch problems when they've let the brake/clutch fluid level get too low resulting in air in the clutch side of things!?

Symptoms do sound very much like having air in the system, ive experienced this and first though was that the clutch was gone but after realising there was air in the system got the AA out to bleed it and bobs your uncle all sorted.

Would go down this route first TBH.
You can bleed it yourself the nipple is easy to get to.
