Oh hunny, I'm so sorry

Is it worth getting a second opinion from another garage? How old is the car?

Storm

Oh El, so sorry,

Could you maybe get one from a scrapyard & just pay to get it fitted?

elantan

it's just over three years old snaggles it's been seen by 5 people so far and no one else knows what it was this time it had to go to the renault dealer ...even if i trade it in i have to get it fixed first so eithr way it's gonna cost i feel so so i dont know how i feel i just really feel that little pin !!!!! of light at the end of my tunnel slipping firther and firther away and thinking is it worth it just now ...ive workd my !!! of for so long and still get nowhere and i cant keep up with the 77 hour working weeks ....oh i must be hormonal ignore me

Don't worry. It might not be as bad as you think. I'll pm you later, but I must go to pick up DD from school first.
There's a large drink waiting for you on the afternoon tea thread xxx

Now that you know exactly what is wrong with it, could you take it to a local garage to get it fixed? It might be cheaper than paying the renault dealer to do it. Especially if as storm says, you can get the part yourself, either from a scrapyard or over the internet. Then you are only having to pay for the labour costs.

I've got to pop out and pick Ryan up from school too, but will be back shortly......I'll bring some Kleenex Ultrabalm (sod smart price, this is an emergency!) and a big bottle of pernod back with me

it's the fuel pump and it's gonna cost thousands ...the guy doesnt even want to give me a price he's just saying thousands

Thousands? Methinks he's trying it on - or trying to price himself out of a job.
If you know what part you need I'd be tempted to do as others have said and ring round a few breakers yards and get it fitted elsewhere - and put that guy's contact details in the bin!
((((((hugs)))))) to you too elantan!

hi elantan i've just read about your bad news on the tea thread and just wanted to send a big (((((HUG))))) to you, you've done fantastically well so far and don't deserve bad news like that.

Did i read that the car is only 3 years old? if so have you any comeback until the sale of goods act etc?

I defo second the idea of a second opinion. I took car into a garage, was told it would be "very expensive" took for a second opinion turned out not to be as bad.

Anyway, thinking of you hon, pop back to the tea thread, loads of people there offering you support.

Big hug
