Am getting the three beeps waaay too often...have looked at the manual but cant decipher the little diagram to disable the interior sensors.....going to the dealer is a joke.....wait three weeks no courtesy car...taxis...etc...:( So who can tell me how to disable the interior sensors...

Er....no...car is totally standard.....just want to lock the doors without setting the alarm...may just try locking the doors with the key?

Just the standard Renault alarm that you get with a UK 172. I have disabled the ultra sonic interior jobbie but still get it going off with the 3 flashes....suggesting that there is a fault...but have no time to get it in to the dealership to be resolved before leaving for Thailand for a...

Oh thats good news!!..cheers guys...the alarm has been playing up a bit recently...if I just lock the door with the key will it stop the alarm from activating do you think?...maybe just kick in the immobiliser?

Im going away for a month, my 172 is 6 months old...do you reckon the battery will hold its charge OK for a month?

Mmm cos on a 50 litre tank at 79.9p a litre thats ..ummm...£40...thought £28 sounded a bit low for a "full tank"....bummer I pay 83p down here on the south coast!

"I get about 32miles per gallon, and use a full tank of optimax per week...aprox £28" Wow!...costs me £37 to fill with Optimax...whats the price per litre with you? "on a motorway i can sit at 80mph and still b returning 40odd to the gallon." 40 odd?...are you sure you drive a...

I did 300 miles in a C reg (1965) Landrover lastweek, now that was hard work!..it was a pleasure to get back into my 72!

Was with Elephant but come renewal time they were no longer competative...a friend mention Direct line and I saved £100!...god I sound like one of those hard to believe adverts!...but its true!...and they made my whites so clean and fresh...

Air con works sometimes...very weak...other times it says sod ya and steams the car up anyway. Some warning lights come on then go off. Interior alarm was going off at intervals...so disabled it...apart from that car runs fine! Still wish I had bought a Cup!
