brakes and shocks+labour rake in a lot of money for dealers. labour charges --exorbitant. of course they have to maintain their showroom and staff, but £40 to replace a headlight(cost--£5) thats taking the P***.

Renault charge over £80 for headlamp bulb replacement on my car. This is because the front bumper has to be removed. Don't you just love the French's idea of practical design.

well said,Renault would have fitted the exact battery for the car,not just a cheapy,lets hope the cheap one doesnt cause any dashboard probs:rotfl:

You'll be pleased to know that 5 weeks later the nice cheap battery is working fine & didn't cause any dashboard problems, or any other problems.
No great surprise.
