Pics as promised :P Before Taped up After Managed to keep the glass in 'mainly' one piece to reduce the mess

haha yeh i know mate, well tbh i knew about the door lock and i should have just left it unlocked and disconnected the battery so it's partly my fault :o nah i don't have it yet mate, been speaking to Fred over the past month or 2 but he's been too busy to get it packed up and on a pallet so i...

cheers for the link mate managed to get the door wedged out and a metal bar in to push the window switch down, for whatever reason (with the ignition on) the windows aren't going down i've spoken to a couple of auto lock smiths and they have just advised me that it would be easier to put the...

seal on the rear door ? you mean window mate ? i did think about trying to take either back window or rear window out but i'll wait and see going to get a wedge of wood cut out tonight and find a rod/cane to use and get back on it tomorrow morning and try and do what you first suggested...

haha yeh Ali it's getting more and more tempting !! i'm running out of options so i'm just going to have to give the bending the door out another go tomorrow, i was planning to go down the window switch route if i could have got the door bent out enough today but as said i failed miserably as...

well i managed to get power to the reverse switch earlier and yes it does turn the ignition on (aswell as the alarm) only problem is that it still wouldn't unlock with the key fob !!! I popped off the window seal and tried to get a coat hanger down the door to try and pop it that way but i...

Knockhill will be where i'll be at most of the time aswell mate, you go up there much ? good to hear about the Uniroyals, they were my first thought when going for wets but i know the Hankook V12's are a good tyre but not too sure how good they are in the wet ? How much better than your...

I'll be getting a set of R888's for use on track when it's dry/damp but i am looking to get a a set of tyres specifically for the wet (and to do long journeys on when i travel down to england for track days to save wear on the R888's as it will be about an 800 mile round trip). As i've never...

yeh i might give it a shot if the above doesn't work mate, with it being soo cold i'm just a bit wary about possibly smashing the glass when it's bent out anyone got any ideas about getting power to the ignition from the reverse switch or the altenator ???

the parts department was closed today so will give them a phone when they reopen on the 27th

i'd rather not do that the now tbh mate as i don't want to end up bending the door out of shape, nah boots locked with the rest of the car and as above no lock on it

ok managed to get the bumper off so it's looking like this the now... i tried to get into the bonnet catch but it's set quite far back and the grill is in the way so can't see a way of getting to it unfortunately i managed to find the reverse switch aswell but with electrics not being my...

smashing the window or phoning the AA will be the last resorts, want to try and get it open without any damage or cost first cheers barnesautos, i'm useless with electrics so will have a look and see what the switch is like, i've got a jump start pack so just going to use that fingers...

you need to ask yourself the question why the seller hasn't told you it's a Cat D in the first place, if they are hiding a major thing like that is there anything else their hiding about it ? just make sure you give it a good going over

same here mate, never heard about that one before but if it works then happy days

heres mine, got it from Tiger, said he has other things he needs to worry about.....

good call mate i'll see if i have it, haha cheers i'm sure it'll be a riot !

cheers again gents you've both been a great help, i'll keep you updated with how i get on speaking to Renault tomorrow and see what i'm going to do from there

was just being cheeky mate, you checking the price would be spot on and i wouldn't expect anything else ;) i know how much hassle it could prob be you work for Renault then mate or another garage ?

cheers for the input mate, i've only got one key so don't need 2 surely it would be possible to just swap over the key blade into my fob which would cut out the need for /ecu and recoding ?

nice one cheers bud, i'll see tomorrow and if their closed i'll send a you a PM you able to get parts trade price by any chance :rasp:

yeh i'm going to phone up tomorrow (if their open) and find out how much they are going to rob me for it could be cheaper going with option B as above but i don't know if it's that easy and i can swap it all over ?

i've got central locking mate, only got one door lock as it's a cup so i want/need to keep it and get it working

I need a new door lock (i can't even get the key in mine) so just looking for the best option, the options i can think of the now are A - Get a new door lock from Renault that matches my key (not sure how much this would be but i'm guessing at not cheap !) B - Get a used door lock/ignition...

not sure mate i've never had to do anything like this before i'm going to give the power to the reverse switch a go tomorrow morning and if that doesn't work then i'm going to take the window seal off and try and pop the door open from there
