west of kings lynn

Postby manning1 » Wed Dec 19, 2007 7:10 pm

i hope no1 on here has had the misfortune of dealing with wests of kings lynn norfolk???? the sales staff were brilliant with helpin me! then came the problems!! the dreaded megane problems! it's bin in 3times now with same problems (coil packs and squeaking brakes). but they say that the brakes dont squeak when they drive it!! yer yer! its just when i drive it? and the coil pack is on its way out AGAIN! and backfiring; although they say it isn't! it's just my imagination! so i may end up having 2pay 4 a new cat eventually!! so the aftersales team r CRAP!! morale of the story....avoid them like the plague!!

Have you tried the dealer at East Bilney?

I had to use them a few years ago whilst on holiday in Norfolk and they were very good!

From wisbech,A1122 to swaffham,A47 towards norwich.Turn off to dereham at the next right,about 1 mile after the end of the 40 mph limit in fransham,& continue towards dereham.As you enter dereham you will go up a slight hill,turn left just as the road goes right.Follow road for about 2 miles till junction off to left to gressenhall/fakenham,4 miles to garage on left in a dip.Now you know 'rough' directions,check on a map OR go into halfords in wisbech,next to dunnelms,& buy a sat nav !!!! :lol:

LOL :lol: My in-laws live in the middle of nowhere, but happen to have a Renault dealer about 1.5 miles from their door - East Bilney! They've had Renaults from there for years starting with early Espaces. I get the impression they're quite good - although they're not so pleased with the latest Scenic (new in June 07) for missing the auto lights/wipers and having a 6th gear (dCi 106 like my tourer) - I guess familiarity means you never bother reading the specs...
