Ive got the code, guess i'll just have to wait it out. Problem is Ive been told by renault that it could take an hour to reset. Someone on the forum a few week ago told me that it could take up to 24 hours. Is there a maximum time that it will go up to, or will it just keep going into...

The stereo was locked out when I bought the car. Guess I'll have to buy an extra battery and let that one go flat while I wait for it to sort its head out. Cant really leave the keys in the ignition all day though someone will nick it.

The guy at car electronics never mentioned an adapter, he was young so he might not know jack about it. Someone must have had the same problem as me, does anyone know how much these adapters are?

TITS! Does anyone know how I can get the standard head unit timed out? Ive had the keys in the ignition for an hour and it did nothing, still wouldn't let me enter the code. It needs timing out, can anyone help. Im in Nottingham so need someone in the east Mids.

Ive just been to car electronics in Nottingham and the guy in there told me that no head unit is compatible with my renault alpine multichanger, except for the standard one. Is he correct? Im sure the previous owner had a different one in because the key holes are a bit worn.

Im gonna stop going in renault for anything other than parts. Ive had a s**t day one of my neighbours has scraped my wheel arch parking, ive only had the car a week and a half. Im not having much luck today.

Right! Ive left it for over an hour and still nothing! How am I supposed to leave it swithed on for 24 hours without the keys in the ignition? The stereo was the last thing on my mind as far as mods are concerened. Renault charged me the best part of 20quid for the code, however they...

Thanks for the replies, will do the timing out thing hopefully that will sort it. At least my exaltos are in at the garage, one thing to be happy about.

It wont even give me 0000 in order to enter the code I do have the steering controls and do know how to enter it, it just wont let me. Looks like i'll either have to throw money at renault, or buy a new head unit! Ive now left the head unit switched on, I'll give an hour and a bit see if...

Pulling the fuse did nothing, will disconnecting the battery screw anything up? (52plate 172)

What is the deal with the standard head unit?! It just says code and wont do anything. Ive got the code off Renault, but I cant enter it. I pulled the fuse out hoping it would reset it back to default mode and let me enter the code, no such luck! The guys at Renault Notts told me it would...

I am about to change the oil and filter, aswell as the air filter so hopefully it will sound a bit better when starting in the morning. Its a good car, it just has a few quirks.

Cheers for that guys, you've put my mind at ease.

Ive never realy owned a proper performance car before, the fastest thing ive owned was a brand new Golf GT 4Motion 140bhp. My mates got a 182 cup and his is well quiet except for the SS Miltek Exhaust. (His is newish though) 8,000 miles on it. The power delivery on mine is smooth on...

Ive had my 172 FF for a week now, got use to it now sort of. Still not use to the ferocious power, im not so much driving it as holding on for dear life! When its started from cold it sounds like a bag of spanners, aftrer about two minutes it settles down, then after its warmed up its better...

Cheers Mate, good advice.

Can any one help me please. I work for myself and the 172 is going to be used everyday all year round in all weather conditions. (Its not been bought as a weekend warrior) I know most of you reacon that exaltos are the way to go, but I just spoke to K-Tec and they said if I want all weather...

A few mates have said the same, also all the research ive done on the internet confirms that crap tyres on a 172 leads to crap handling.

The back stepped out on me today round a bend, I wasn't even going quick. Scared the crap out of me, controled it with a dash of opposite lock, but i'd like tyres that grip in all conditions. Guess that means Exaltos.

Ive just bought a 03 172 with 50k on it with full s/H for £5000 that was from a dealer, shop around ther are cheaper ones.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. This seems like quite a friendly forum.

Its Iceberg silver without a single mark on bodywork.

Also can a 182 cup suspention be fitted to a 172 because it was thrown in as part of the deal

O.K. I was gonna go for exaltos all round after I get paid.

Hello my names Dave, ive never been on a forum before, not quite sure how it works, so bare with me if I get it wrong. Ive got a few questions about my car. Ive just bought a 52 plate 172 over the weekend and its got odd tyres with different tread depths and patterns the car feels all over the...
