damo748, i think its a bumper removal job! (No Joke!), i have had three fall out so far, and Renault have replaced them each time under warranty, by the way ** for everyone else, mine have never leaked, no stains or marks on my bumper!!

i think you lock the car with the internal lock button, then get out (unlocking the car), and then lock the car again within 5 or so seconds. (But check the manual for sure)
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.

mine used to do it ALL the time, they replaced a sensor on the flyweel, and for a while it was perfect, but now it just does it occassionally, just one of those Renault traits i guess.
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...
mine is REALLY bad though, if i start the engine, and "try" to get it to warm up i cant even rev it to about 1,500rpm without the whole car shaking violently.

not sure what rpm it idles at, i can find out though, i basically think the engine software is screwed or a cold start sensor like someone has said, i cant see it being anything else if the car runs 110% when warm. Chad i always use optimax.
i think i will have to have a general chat with Renault when i take it in on saturday, and ask them to run a diagnostic check on the cars computer and reset the computer if they can

yeah, but i am on about the car being REALLY bad, like for example, before, with the famous cold starts (which I have always had), you could drive off and the car would just be sluggish, but would actually drive. But this is something else, basically the car is just near impossible to drive...
but it only does it when the engine is cold? when the temp gauge reaches the "norm" the car is absoultely fine, idles fine.
