No "specialists" around Manchester no....There are a few garages that do work on them though. What do you need doing and whereabouts in Manchester are you?

Hi, hoping to get an A610 in around a month (if there is any around then!) but just wanted to make sure I would not have to drive to far down south to get it fixed.
Also a stupid question, is the PRV belt driven and if so how often should the belts be changed

cheers

What about a GTA :wink: :wink:

I can't understand why my car hasn't sold I really can't. Had loads of interest from France, Australia and Ireland but not one genuine person has been to see it (had two tyre kickers from ebay wanting me to pay them to take it away :roll: ). First to see will buy :D

So, did you ever buy an A610 mate? I did... and so being from Manc myself i'm interested in this topic. I thought about taking mine to Renault for service and ProSport in Stockport for everything else, as i used to take my GTI-R there and they seemed prety good. NOT cheap though.
