Independant servicing

[Geoffrey-m3jo3]

I think that I may have originally posted this in the wrong place so apologies.

Just recently purchased a three year old low mileage Pure & was wondering if there are independent service specialists out there ?

My nearest official dealer for service is Winchester.

I have been looking for an official list of services times and tasks for the A110 Pure (my car):
This seems to be a full list and may be handy for others..............

that is useful thank you

As far a an independant, I would have thought any decent Renault sport specialist would be up to the task. Somethat that does the Megane and Clio RS models etc. Its the same engine and similar transmission to the Megane RS.

While I'm sure you are right, I'd think Alpine would be unhappy about it - or they would have allowed them to do it already. It would certainly make life much easier if they could at least do routine servicing.

You can do the basic sericing yourself yourself, its quite easy, although I still cant find the cabin pollen filter, anyone have any guidance, I've had a good chunk of the dash apart.

Cabin filet is accessed via passenger footwell, after removing the left trim panel of the centre console .
2 x 20 torx screw hold it in.

If you have a footplate it would be easier if you remove the plate for access

Check the sunroof system (if one has been installed). You'd think they'd know

Not used them myself yet but will do once the car is 3yrs old - K-Tec Racing in Dorset have a very good reputation in the Renault Sport community and are starting to do Alpine parts.

That's good to hear. I reckon a few Renault Sport Indy's with good rep will start to do work on Alpines so when the warranty expires we owners have some more choice. Not been very impressed with official service garages so far!

Bringing back up if people can share decent renault sport /alpine specialists.

My personal experience w the dealer is not one i would like to repeat and will be turning 3yrs old next year.

Diablo Motorsport in Shrewsbury. Floyd is ex K-tec and one of the 'go-to' RenaultSport guys.

So was hoping to use K-Tec Racing in Ferndown (not too far from me) as they had a good reputation etc but I've just heard back from the them and they closed their workshop at the end of December.

Looks like I'll have to head to Alpine Bristol instead, being based in Dorset. Anyone with experiences of Bristol for servicing?

I just use the local independent, not a specialist (they do everything up to and including the local used Ferrari place's work). All official parts, done to the schedule. They've said it's easy to work on.

Similarly, I used a local indy for a brake fluid change, and did the cabin filter myself. The indy wasn't fazed by the car -after all, mechanically it's a Megane once the undertray is off, even if the access is different...

They are. I've replaced all discs and pads many times, air filter, oil change, gearbox oil change, cabin filter plus a few other bits and bobs. Plugs will be next on the list but they're easy to do once the 3 nuts holding the charge cooler are removed. At the end of the day, it's just a car...

Cheers guys, how difficult is it to reset the dashboard service indicator?
