After part exchanging a ford focus for renualt espace a little under a year ago I have had noting but problems.should have walked away when they said that it would take a while to prepare the car the were putting a new stereo (this was not new looked about 20 years old and is s**t)in it and it needed a new key as the spares would not work the central locking when we did eventualy get the car two weeks later there was a very loud nocking noise coming from some were under the car I took the car to a local garage as I was told by Fairlands that it was probably the drop links they phoned me about an hour later saying that there was about £500.00 worth of work that needed to be done to make it road worthy (sold with one years MOT) there was a wheel nuts missing from one of the front wheels a wheel hub needed replacing bearings needed to be changed and the drop links . I was told that the would fix the problem if I left the car with them I had a phone call about a week later asking for a contribution to the cost I said that I would cover the cost of drop links and nothing more as it was sold with a years mot when we got the car back I was told that every thing that the garage advised was fixed and that I should be happy as I had £500. of work done for £100 however about two weeks later the problem had come back only worse so we took it back and I was told to leave it with them and it would be taken to a Renault dealer to fix the problem properly I still do not know what was actually done as I have just had to have the 2 front tyres replaced as they had both worn out on the extreme inside edges these where both new at sale I was advised to get the tracking checked the garage said they had never seen a car with the tracking that far out I have spent £200.00 on tyres and tracking. no expert but bearing all of the above work was on the front wheels I cannot see a Renault dealer leaving the tracking in that state about a week ago and have got into it today and the steering power steering has completely given up and there is oil every were so I would think that the steering rack has gone turbo pipe needed replacing not long after the warranty expired costing £300.00 parking brake light now coming on every now and then also gearbox problems showing up as a fault. if you ask me not very good at all and would not go any where near the garage again.
