Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Big end bearings gone and damaged crank. I've owned car from new and had it serviced properly etc. Car just out of Warranty. Renault kindly offered 50% of repair, had to be done by dealer, Quote of £4000, so £2000 cost for me. An Independant garage quoted £1500 for the repair so I don't want to pay the £2000.
I have sent the standard letter from ConsumerDirect to the finance company to see if they will help.
Basically the question is, can I go ahead and get the repair done by the Independant garage before hearing from the finance company? I really need my car fixed.
What is the mileage?
Has the engine been stripped down?
Who told you the crank was damaged?

Costs seem well over the top to me, even from Renault for a short engine which is what is needed by your description. V6 by any chace? Wouldn't do anything untill you have in writing who is paying for what.
Ok, this is quite good news, as Renault have effectively admitted liability. The problem being is that most manufacturers test and sign off to 150K miles.
The short engine is as described, a block, pistons, crank and oil pump. If the engine has failed due to low oil pressure then the head will have been affected to a certain extent as well.
I'd go back and ask for 65% contribution based on mileage.
What has to be remembered is that the more miles a car does, the less likely a failure is due to a manufacturing defect.
