Hi and welcome, from Barnoldswick.

My ph1 172 came with one remote key and one normal key. The none remote will open door and start the car, but obviously wont disarm the alarm. I take it this wasn't how the car was supplied then?

My ph1 does this also, but only when cold. It will also cut out on idle with full lock and looking at the service history, it's had these problems for a long time, nobody seemingly able to get to the bottom of it.

Mine does this exact same thing too and had me quite worried. Is there not a fix?

Mine will fire up and then die straight away unless I start it with a bit of throttle. After a couple of seconds it idles ok. When its warm it is fine though.

Does it click at all, the plastic button on the key I mean? If so could be battery, if not, the tiny switch will most likely have broken off the circuit board. If it's the later, try taking it to a electrical repair place or even a watch repairers. Electrician at work fixed mine.

Yeah think so, on M65 Blackburn?

Re: The PH1 172 Aprreciation Thread. Mine, for what it's worth.

As above, replaced cracked (broke in 3) manifold on girlfriends Clio Si (K7M) after running on 2 cylinders for 30 miles when coil pack went. Car now has very little power but runs and starts fine. Any of you fine people know where I could start? TIA.
