Please can someone advise?
I have a 65 plate Zoe and have the Renault extended warranty.
I think I may have a 'drop link' problem.
Can I get my trusted local garage to replace them and then claim the cost back or do I have to go to a Renault main dealer?

Any advice gratefully accepted.

Aren’t those just wear items like the brake pads?

Extended warranty won’t cover drop links, they are dirt cheap anyway

We had this on our first Zoe and it turned out to be worn drop-links which where replaced under warranty.

The phrase " having a dog and barking yourself" springs to mind.
I've paid for it and I don't want to get my hands dirty.

Should have given the warranty company a call. I was surprised when they paid out for the lower ball joint to be replaced. They coughed up for the whole wishbone as that is what Renault do.

The garage would however need to call the warranty company BEFORE doing any work at all.
If you've already paid then that goes against the warranty.

FYI. The warranty company will pay ANY vat registered company to do the work.

Did you get the tyres changed under warranty?

Haven't had any work done yet, just got a feeling that something is loose underneath.

Respectfully suggest you read the "Renault electric vehicle extended warranty" booklet page 4.
