Could this potentially sort my problem out? (Rather than take it to Renault)

Any info would be great thanks! :D x
Just had a look in the instructions book for the satnav to see whether it had any wiring diagrams etc, when I came across the "Troubleshooting" section...
"The system does not start up"
Causes/solution:
"You have not switched on the ignition. - Switch on."
Oh right, wish I'd have thought of...
Don't get me wrong, they're not ridiculous, nor are they very noticeable... It's just that I've sent all that time getting rid of them, and just 3 month later they are starting to come back in a few places.
What is grit guard btw? (take that as I don't use it lol)
Ok so I machine polished my car about 3 months ago, but just recently ive notcied that swirl marks are gradually creeping back onto the car.
As it stands, I've got really light swirls over certain parts of the car (bonnet being the worst).
I don't understand... I wash it using the 2...
The Apple TV is tempting, but I'm not sure whether I'd make full use of it!
It would be good to rent the movies etc, but I dunno whether I can justify paying £100 for it when I can just nip to blockbuster lol.
Might also get a shuffle for the gym and running, my Classic is a bit too big for...
Yea can do matey, if you dont mind!
Ive only got basic knowledge of things like that so can only go so far. My bro has checked the satnav screen which seems to be fine.
If you're available any day this week (barring Sunday), it'd be great! Im hoping to get this all sorted within a week or 2 as...
Weve checked fuses, wiring etc with it and I think that the battery is fine, but ill double check that.
When I was speaking to Renault earlier, they said that if it turns out that a new UCH doesnt sort the problem, they put the old one back in and dont charge me! So its no love lost really...
Oh and to add, I almost forgot this part...
I recently purchased an RStuner off Gray and on Monday remapped the car... It runs so much smoother now and feels alot better throughout the rev ranges!
Big thanks goes out to Gray for all his support and helping me through my time of idiocy ;) ...
I got to work on the wheels, whilst my dad was sorting the brakes...
No before pics of the wheels unfortunately. I forgot to take some.
Products used:
After:
And to finish off, a few pics I took earlier of the car in its current state:
Hopefully I can keep updating as my progess goes...
Today, I made a bit of progress with the car.
I started the morning by phoning up my local Renault stealers to check the price of a UCH, as when I had a health check at Renault Mansfield they quoted me £550 for a new UCH, fitting and programming, and from speaking to a member who works for...
From then on, its pretty much been doing little things to it as I havent been sure which route to take the car in.
I did this:
Which quickly went, as I realised that it wasnt for this car...
Recentish shot of the car when wet:
And at the start of this month, as some may know, it all...
I then got the detailing bug, full on... So I got my machine polisher and aload of goodies ordered so that I could get my car up to standard and get rid of all the swirl marks...
After:
(In time for FCS)
I was extremely happy with the results, especially considering it...
True that... Ill get to that part ;)
.........................................................
Then added a KTR Panel Filter, aswell as took the car for a service and its MOT (which it passed with no faults :) )
In around April time, I had a go at spraying my bullets... I was very happy...
At first, the plan was to just clean it up and leave it standard!
But tbh, I knew that this wouldnt last!
The first thing I did was add the +10BHP CS sticker:
Then got hold of new rear plates, as the ones currently on had that gash EU badge:
I then unfortunately went over a massive...
Ok so thought id start a project thread so that I can keep updating as I keep doing bits, rather than keep making new threads...
Ill start from the beginning ;)
I first got the "Clio Bug" when I bought my 2003 1.2 Clio Extreme 2. I then joined this site, which made me fall in love with the...
With mine, I got a quote for them just to enquire about it, which was like £300 catback...
I then just left it a few weeks and I got an email through saying that they'd do it as a special offer at £200, so maybe worth just getting a quote and then leaving it, hopefully get lucky like I did.
Mine was chavvy loud tbh... Let me try and get a pic of it, I'm on my iPad so using photobucket is a pain.
I did think that it sounded good at the time though, but iirc you can specify how loud etc you want it to be.
I had a custom one from them for my old 1.2.... It was ridiculously loud. It was louder than what my 172 is now with ktec supersport exhaust system with decat!!
Just had quotes for a new UCH from my local Renault stealers...
Renault Nottingham: £370 (Inc. Part, fitting, programming and diagnostic) - even if it did take them about 15mins to work out what a UCH is lol
Renault Ilkeston: £370 (Inc. Part, fitting, programming and diagnostic)
Renault...
