How much???

For a Larry Laguna???

Do you get a fortnight for two in the Seychelles thrown in for that much?

Harsh. I've also got a Laguna and am about to get a Cerbera (though will probably keep the Laguna as well). Most recent service at largest Renault dealer in Europe set me back £170, including an MOT.

What kind of work were you having done that it cost you that money?

Yeah, what did they do? Rebuild it?!?!

Admittedly Renault parts aren't that cheap, but even then. I had a new radiator fitted at a small garage in Aviemore when mine blew up on a holiday in the Highlands, and even then that only cost me £290.

Unbelievable amount. Flabbergasted.

How much to Renault charge for labour, per hour?

[Nevin]

Dunno, but it surely can't be a huge amount. Probably.

Adrian - this is so clear. I too have a Renault Laguna which I may get serviced one day but that is not important . Cerbera comes first, just use a local garage for the Laguna. Russell

49% of the value of the car!!....doesn't that make it a write-off?!?

Tsk, you don't want to worry about all that stuff. I had my Laguna for two years before I had it serviced and it barely had any problems at all, other than the radiator blowing up as previously mentioned. They are pretty reliable in my experience and if it breaks down that much then I am just going to get rid of it and buy something else. Woohooo.

Think it will definitely be the backup to the Cerbie though and not vice versa.
