IN Renault's busy Chiltern dealership is one of more than 70 in the UK. It is near the manufacturer's HQ and former truck building and SVC) facility at Dunstable, Beds.
With branches in Wellingborough and London's Park Royal, Chiltern carries out repairs and maintenance on Renault and most other makes. Being approved agents for Granning and Gliderite air suspensions, its engineering department is also able to handle chassis conversions (it recently converted 50 Renault Mascotts for the Als using the Granning system) including Pet-Reg, vertical exhaust and PTO conversions as well as warranty repairs, accident work and resprays. The firm also runs a small rental fleet.
The vehicle was due for its MI Service at 6 o,000km—following a full inspection it received a long-drain engine oil and filter change, new air and fuel filters and a grease job. Paul Cleasby is one of Chiltern's senior technicians and a former Mann Egerton motor mechanic. He pointed out areas where neglect and oversight can lead to expensive or hazardous breakdowns.
