Went over 30k this morning, and now that the warranty is coming to an end, are there any firms, (RAC, AA) who will do a check on the car to spot things that may need replacing.
End of warranty
Hmmm, could you go to a local garage and slip them a daft tenner or something?
I'm sure if you explain the situation and they're decent chaps they could have a good look over it when they have time.
Not sure if RAC, AA do that kinda thing, and if they do they'll probably charge you some extortionate fee for it.
TBH you wouldn't expect there to be anything wrong on a 3 year old car anyway, but I suppose we're dealing with Renault so we shouldn't 'assume' anything!

3yr or 60k????
Check out extending the 36m/60K warranty. From memory can take from three to five years, and prob some more miles too.
Further to Artdealer's comment i happen to have a leaflet on the extended warranty stuff. You can either extend it on the total miles, number of years since new or a combination.
So if you do a lot of miles and expect to go over the 60k within the 3yrs warranty, you can extend the miles to either 80k (cost £600) or to 100k (cost £800).
If you want to extend the years part to a total of 4yrs from new, then you can have a choice of miles to go with it.
- 4yrs and 60k miles at a cost of £500.
- 4yrs and 80k miles at a cost of £800.
- 4yrs and 100k miles at a cost of £1,000.
for 5yrs:
- 5yrs and 60k miles = £800
- 5yrs and 80k miles = £1,000
- 5yrs and 100k miles = £1,200.
So if you only do a small amount of miles you can extend the warranty duration by a year for £500. Not to bad considering the cost of some parts on our tomatos....
As with any warranty it expires when you reach either the selected age or mileage, whichever occurs first. Also you can only take out the extended warranty BEFORE the standard one expires.
Having only just covered close to 14k miles and the car being 2yrs old in september i will prob look and just extending for an extra year and keeping the miles at 60k, cant see myself getting close to 60k just yet!!!
Hope this is of help to you all. (tup)

Yes but are the expensive bits like the dampers covered by the policy?
Normally extended warranty covers are just an insurance policy and the ones I've seen have all sorts of exclusions.
Can anyone confirm what is and what isn't covered?

I would image that Mark Fish would be able to check your car over for you?
if the dampers are covered i'll take this out now lol, best £500 you'll ever spend - apparently they need rebuilding every few years.

Oh happy days, i thought the warranty ran out after 36k. And I've only had the car for 11/2 years. Cheers guys.
Probably will extend the warranty to 5 yrs and 80K. I'm looking to get a little mini as a second car so hopefully the miles will be reduced on the Trophy. But did say that from day one. haha
