So after many cars since my last rs, a 182, here I am back in the fold again.
This time with a 2003 172.
Has a few issues that I need to sort, abs serv and tcs lights on, an earth problem with the rear lights, a stupid alarm and generally some tidying up, but apart from that I love it.

That is one 182 alloy wheel. They will fit and will look good.
Pay the membership fee of £12 and have a look in the forsale section. There are some nice original wheels for sale for cheap.
Plus the £12 will give you masses of help for little things that may go wrong or need attention.
I thought we were going to have a drawing of a clio. Lol.
In seriousness though op, open a photobucket account, upload your pics to there (app works well) and then click the info and copy the url. Simples.
Typical. Mine must have been messed with when they fitted the alarm. 😧 Key still starts the car etc but nothing else.
I'll have to eventually change the uch I guess. If only my key fob did something and there was a fuse for the alarm I could remove.
Nothing is ever simple with my cars!!
This is going to be a project for when I have some time and other faults have been sorted. However the serpi alarm has started to do strange things. So it needs to go. Can't figure out why my fob flashes but doesn't do anything to the car though. Is there a fuse that could've been removed for...
Mine was doing the same after a cambelt change. The garage reset the ecu using clip and all is well. In fact it's like a new car!! Might be worth removing your battery terminal to reset your ecu? Have your radio code handy though.
My 172 has the same/similar alarm to you. Your in a better situation than me as your original key works remotely, mine doesn't. I also want rid of the alarm as it sometimes doesn't lock the doors but arms the alarm, the immobiliser arms after about 3 seconds after stopping the car.
I want to...
Thanks for the reply
The Renault fob does nothing, the light shows when you press the button but the car 'ignores' it. So do you think that if I removed entirely the aftermarket alarm the original keys and immobiliser would start to work?
I understand that with a new key set I wouldn't have an...
Hi all
On an imported 172 that has a hideously annoying alarm fitted, meaning the key fob button doesn't do anything and it's all down with the additional fob. Is there a way to remove this and replace the uch with a uk one (keys and locks etc) meaning that the fob would work the locks and...
Welcome to cs! It's not unusual to fall for the 172. I always said i hated the rattles but loved them as it was part of the charm.
I might be after a few bits (hopefully one abs wheel sensor, brake peddle sensor and other bits and bobs) whereabouts are you located?
I will pm you and see if I can borrow it for 5 mins when I need it if you don't mind? I'll give you a drink or something. Hoping it can tell me the reason for the abs and serv light being on.
I am pretty sure it's beendone already. I think it'd be brilliant, and apart from the painting probably a lot easier than adding a phase 2 interior to a phase 1?
Awesome drawing there! Op definately find another tattooist. Believe me there will be others with just as good If not better reviews and without a doubt many more with more enthusiasm. My tattooist enjoys the drawing/designing work almost as much as hurting people!!
