...yeah. Was literally like a month ago, few days before I picked my car up..like I said was the first one id seen "on the road" in Cambridge (Not in showroom!)...cool. Adrian

...ooh somebody else from cambridge... Could it have been you that I saw parked on the street at the back of cambs. car audio a month or so ago...thats the only cup Ive seen around cambridge.... Seen the V6 in wests too...looks nice. Adrian

..Im assuming that it somehow transmits data to that remote thing over FM - Americans dont have a problem with that because they have "unlicensed" free-for-all FM frequencies, something which we dont have in the UK. Hence you tend to get a lot of stuff like that in the US which is illegal to...

..yeah..you beat me to it! First thing I noticed on the TV! Adrian

..Im pretty sure that the rf modulator would be illegal in this country... Id bear that in mind... Adrian (EDIT: Assuming youre in the UK!)

..maybe the hands on his clock go anti-clockwise.. ;) Adrian

..I use cruise all the time, but I travel across the fens so I get plenty of opportunity to use it! Adrian

..wow... I looked at the circuit board on mine and there was nothing much on it, there was an atmel IR chip (generic receiver) and a cluster of IR diodes and associated resistors & capacitors for filtering. Its possible that yours is more complex as you had an alarm... thats quite a price...

yeah...at my local renault dealer. Adrian

..for my old 99 1.2 clio it cost me about 45 quid to replace the sensor and have it fitted (I think the sensor was 20 or so quid) when the same thing happened to me..... Adrian

..the problem is youd look at it and go "ooh..automatic wipers, sounds cool" have it fitted and then realise later that its crap, and that lesser specced cars actually have a better system that works! (i.e intermittent) Adrian

maybe we should ring up renault and demand en-masse that they add a "disable auto wipers and replace with intermittent" feature to the ECU. Maybe they thought about it, but then realised everyone would turn them off because theyre crap (imho!). Adrian

Ive tried all sorts of combinations like that and Ive never managed to "disable" them, the manual only mentions enabling them (they default off when the car is started), does not mention specifically *disabling* them like autolights.... Adrian

...that sounds a little low to me! Up and till 3 weeks ago I had a 1.2 (99 - T Reg) Clio Grande, I used to fill up every 2 weeks. Ive now got a 172 and Im filling up with optimax and Im probably filling up a couple of days earlier (when the guage is getting a little low, 1 notch from...

..does that mean if I disable auto-lights then I get intermittent wipe on the wipers? And it doesnt reset when I turn the ignition off? Adrian

..On the 172 you can disable them (autolights), its in the manual...not sure about the dynamique though, I assume itd be the same... Ive not got a problem with the autolights, seem to work pretty well for me...but as mentioned above, the auto wipers are a different story! Adrian

I know you can disable the auto wipers (By moving to the top position, i.e wipers off! Or have I missed something)..but when disabled were missing any form of intermittent... Adrian

..cruise rules, but the autowipers do suck. Renault would have done much better to allow you to disable the autowipers and have the intermittent instead... Driving to work this morning I had to keep turning the wipers on and off to get the screen to clear - I had it on max. sensitivity as...

..and? If you buy from a dealer then you pay dealer prices that includes the cost of any work! I had a sensor replaced in my old clio which must have taken about 2 minutes to do (when it went wrong again I checked it out) and for that I got charged about 40 quid labour.... ..bottom line...

its approx 260 quid I think for supagard... Adrian

..hehe..picked up my monaco blue 172 last tuesday, well chuffed. I think the blue looks really nice, and like others I have said, far too many silver cars around... If I get time when I get home Ill post some picks I took after washing it the other day! Mine was supaguarded too.... Adrian

I ordered my 172 on the 1st August, I picked it up last tuesday!;) ..very nice. Adrian

..cool.. Im currenly weighing up whether or not to refit my audio equipment to my car when I pick it up (tuesday!) - ive got the same amp as you + a empeg head unit (which I dearly miss having in the car since I removed it pending the new cars arrival). Another factor is that I have a fair...

...hes got some well cool roads round where he lives, I went to university at loughborough (30 miles from derby approx.) and there are some amazing roads round there! Some of them were like playing the old "screamer rally" computer game.... If only Id had a decent car when I was...

indeed! At least theres plenty of sport to watch to keep my mind off it! Ive been waiting since the 1st of august so a couple more days isnt too bad.... Adrian

Got a call today to day that my car has arrived...now I have to contain myself because I dont pick it up until tuesday at 3:30.... Adrian

..mine so far has been delayed 1 week, ordered on the 1st of august or something...was originally given a delivery date of today, now been told 23rd, renault have changed it twice, but its not moved for a couple of weeks now...hopefully it should arrive when they say... ...canfordcliffs, what...

..the infinitys I used to have installed had a separate crossover box, so you had no choice in removing the top of the dash to install them - and you need to cut the wire to accomodate the crossover. Pheonix do some speakers with crossovers built into the speaker (like the renault) those would...

I ordered my 172 at the beginning of august and was given a delivery date of the 16th of October, I phoned last week to ask for an update and I was told that it would be the 20th, I got a phone call yesterday saying that it would arrive on the 21st now - but Im not sure whether or not thats the...

I was in sydney a few months back and the aussies were ripping me about england losing to australia in the footie & cricket...made em shut up thouigh when I said we were the best in the world at rugby... ..I wish I was in australia now though :( Adrian
