  1. Sorry to hear this, this is very typical of renault. Few questions: How far out of the warranty period are you? Was the last 'non dealer' service in or outside of the warranty period? If it was inside the warranty period was OE parts used and was it serviced according to renault standards If the the car was serviced inside the warranty period and you can prove that it was serviced by 'a competent person' i.e a vat registered garage using OE parts then you can try arguing you're covered under block exemption. You'll have to fight them every step of the way and argue the toss, outside of that you'll have to hope for some goodwill or a contribution for a new engine. I had this with Audi on an A6 V6TDi180 and it also threw a conrod out at42,000 miles and two months outside of warranty. I threatened legal action as the fault would of been inherent and the last service (again by a non franchised dealer) wouldn't of caused the failure. You may be able to argue that in your case too. Sounds silly, but you may be able to pressure your insurance too, or contact your home insurer and tell them you want to use the liability insurance most insurers offer tosue renault, they'll also pressure renault cos they'll not want the bill either.
