Just got my MCX Antenna and temp mounted it where blackspot suggest - top of the screen in the black speckled area. Works spot on, 10-15 secs and it's picked up signal. Not sure who mentioned 5V - I hooked my curley cable up to a bench power supply kicking out 12V, and i got 12V at the other...

I've got to do the same thing for my Road Angel. I was looking at pulling power from the back of the digital clock (or that area), then up the side of the rubber insert for the dash cut out. Have no idea if it's practical though!!!! as i haven't had time to look at it yet.

I've been with them a few years. As you say the premiums are good. However, i must admit i have had a couple of horror issues with them, and were it not for the premiums i would have gone. I was set up big style when i changed my car from Saxo VTR to 206GTi. I asked for a specific quote, told...

Yeah that sounds interesting. I was just gonna get one and mount it behind the mirror as Blackspot recomend. Still haven't got round to hardwiring mine!!

jay, (or anyone else) do you have the MCX Antenna fitted for yours? and if so does it work ok?? - or at least improve it! Mine is just as it comes at the minute, and isn't good at picking up the sat signals. Generally ok once it's got it, but takes an age - 10 mins usually.

Guys, got a fairly big problem!!!! What can anyone tell me about the Exhaust system on an 02 plate 172. Mine has blown out big style, somewhere near the back. I'm not fully aware of where the system splits, how many sections etc. Haven't had chance to get under it at the moment. however...

Cheers, that's more or less the same place i've got mine mounted.

Just got my road angel (The New road angel as they like to call it!!). Is there a "best place" to mount it on the dash/screen?? At the moment i've got it with the front face more or less level with the back edge of the centre dash cut out bit!! Am thinking i would rather connect the power...

I had my 36k service (02 plate 172) done at an independent place a coupld of weeks ago. Cost me £283 i think, and this included a new set of front pads that it needed.

Dont suppose anyone knows if its possible to buy the glass for the front spot on an 02 172?? Seems mine has had an arguement with a stone at speed, as i now have a rather large hole in one!! Dont really want to buy a whole new lamp, as suspect it might be a bit pricey.

Ive been really happy with fuel eco on my 172. Only had it about 6 weeks, but it averages around 37. Mainly crusing to work and back, but doesnt frop much when you have a bit of fun!! I had a 206GTi before. Not as fast, not as much fun, more expensive to run.....

My imports got the changer. Must have a look at the wheelnuts, but dont think they are locking - at least i didnt get a key for them!!! Think the computer goes - total milage, miles since last reset (trip), Petrol used (gallons), MPG, Miles till next refil, avg speed, Miles since reset (fuel...

Ive been with Flux for a while. They have their moments, sometimes they are spot on. Price is always good. However they did shaft me somewhat when i changed from my Saxo to 206 a few years back (went back on what i was quoted for the change over). Also when i needed to make a claim they just...

LOL, nope. to be fair, only picked car up on Saturday afternoon and havent had chance to do anything at all.

Cheers, yeah the origional pops out easily enough, cant get my Kenwood back in though!!! bit tricky finding space for all the extra wireing that it has out the back. On a seperate note, when i was trying to get the Kenwood in, happened to spot that i actually have a Renault/Alpine CD changer...

Do you need a facia adaptor plate with the 172 dash?? doesnt look like it to me, but havent taken head unit out yet! How does the dash display react to not having the origional head unit? is the area usually used for display just blank?? Mine is an 02 car if it makes any difference.

Not sure it matters. I think if you just put "Renault Factory Fitted" that should be fine. Thats what im planning to do on the form that ive just had from my insurance company!!!! I did the same thing with my 206 GTi and there wasnt a problem. I did check with Peugeot first to see that it was...
