    Unwell 172... HELP!

    Without wanting to sound like a doom monger at worst case it could be something one of the belts goes arround is on its way out. Say water pump or a tensioner etc. Premature failiure of this sort is not unheard of. (I had my cam belt & tensioners / pulleys) replaced (MK1). As youve already...

    How much is servicing

    Hmm, would appear I was rinsed ! This was Lookers in Stockport. Will have to give the price match idea a try ! Didnt even ring the others as they are all a bit of a pain to get to / drop the car off / get back etc. But £75 aint to be sniffed at !

    My 12K service for the 172 came to £195 pounds in total at my local Renault dealer. If you have more than one main dealer close enough shop arround as prices do vary.

    Clio 1.8 16V p2 factory alarm probs

    This takes me back ! (your reg doesnt end ETR does it !) anyways, my 95 16v was exactly the same towards the end. The remote started to only work at very close range (like you say from inside the car) due to water ingress, then one day gave up the ghost completely ! I took the sensor PCB out...

    steering column control

    I had a Sony adaptor in my 95 16v (still have it if anyone wants to buy it, digs it out of cupboard, its a PC9-101).

    Hi Joe, yes they are fantastic devices. Ive been using the 16F873, so basically the same chip, mainly because of the uart for RS232 stuff. I use Microchips MPLAB/MPASM but agree doing maths is the fiddliest bit ! Anyway you should be able to message me and we can swap more mad scientist type...
