Ouch - £300+ for Window Regulator

[Dan__UK_1984]

Whilst driving down the M5 on Sunday my drivers door glass fell into the door.

Normally I would investigate before taking the car to the garage but it was raining non stop and I just needed it fixing. So I put a bin liner over the window for the night and took it to a garage at 8AM on Monday morning...

£311.00 Inc VAT later and they replaced the whole mechanism.

What a p1ss take. Not sure who is having a laugh - the garage or Renault. They say the part cost over £200, but i'm not sure. Either way I feel robbed

Unlucky. £300 is the going rate for the window regulator so you aint been robbed. Dont know how old ur car is but i got my regulator done for free from my dealer. Also if u do a search there is a thread on getting the money back from renault.

yep, there is a warranty extension for that item...i think its 7 year warranty without mileage limit. ask for a refund.

The car is a 2002 so I guess out of warranty. coupled with I emailed renault a few weeks ago and they never replied
