Finally got my unit wired up last night, went for a quick sprint with it on, does the unit only tell you the speed limit when in the zone of a camera? The unit only seems to be displaying my travelling speed, not the limit on each road? is that right? or is it possible to turn this feature on...
Can anyone help please?

I forgot to mention, when I was at the motorshow the other week I was speaking to the guys on one of the Origin B2 stands, and he told me that very soon they are releasing customised covers for the Origin B2 unit, he showed me a few examples, wood trim, carbon fibre, silver, etc etc.

For those of you who were involved in my threads last week. An update of my visit this weekend to Renault Woking:
Basically, I was taking my Mk2 172 in to have the dial set looked at, the aircon, and the cold starts. The car
is a French import but has come with the incorrect dials and therefore...
Guys,
I need some advice, I am at the moment experiencing quite a lot of problems with the enigne in my 172, it is kind of related to the cold start symptons that these cars have, i.e drive it for 0.5 mile and its fine. But, nowadays everytime I go to start the car from cold and I put my foot...
whats the best option for a set of replacement mats for my mK2 172, its done 25k miles and there is a patch of thread missing from my drivers mat, anyone got any examples of replacements, and how much? I dont want to pay Renault £150 for a new drivers mat, (the other 3 are in pristine cond)
can someone please explian how the aircon unit works, as at the moment i am unable to use mine, as when i turn it on it just stinks of rotten eggs. Is there something that needs to be re-filled or what? the car is 18 months old, and has only recently had its 24k service? (exactly a month ago)...
has anyone had any experience of Renault Woking, my car is booked in there soon and i was wondering what they are like, because i have never used them before, they sound quite good over the phone?
I am thinking of getting one of these for my 172, but I was wondering if someone could answer a few questions for me. What exactly is involved in the wiring of this device, is the power provided by the cigarette lighter? What else, GPS antenna, etc? I did have a Snooper thingy at one point...
thinking of changing the plugs in my 172, i noticed the cup clios use NGK plugs, and i think i have head a few guys on here say they use them, are these the best?, how much? where from? and how do you actually get to the plugs on the 172 engine?
Many, many thanks in advance.

http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1074155320__71269lhs.jpgI want to fit a Full nokia kit into my 172, i have ordered one of the below mounts: I was just wondering how the hell i am going to get that mount inbetween the dash like that? Do i need to remove the whole top part of the dash...
Has anyone fitted a full nokia car kit into a mk2 172 before? I have just ordered one and am wondering where the best mouting place is going to be for it? I want to try and avoid drilling into the dash pieces, does anyone know where I can order the specialised brackets from?
I have done almost 18,000 miles now on the standard Conti Sports, and i think its almost time for a change. I am thinking of going for Toyo Proxes, Demontweeks want £225.00 for 4 fitted, or i can get them for £162.80 from mytyres.net and get them fitted for extra. But are these tyres my best...
Just a quickie, my old man is looking at buying an R plate 1.4 RT Clio for me mother, what Bhp will it be? And what should we look out for on the car?
Many thanks,
Gaz
Finally got it fitted today, all i can say is, ooooh its nice. It smells quite a bit though, exhausty smell and like exhaust/metal/putty smell, does that sound normal (Lee M & Telford_Mike)?

Just been out to my car, reved the engine, and jesus! It sounds like the exhaust is going to fall off, i am getting a full magnex system fitted this afternoon or tommorow, does anyone know if this will solve the problem?
Went to Demontweeks today to get a full magnex system fitted, 50 mile drive there, running late, got lost, bit of fancy work with the old 172 engine and the navigation got there in the nick of time. Good. Car up on the ramp, exhaust out, plenty of bubble wrap later we are looking good..... Then...
