Adrian flux have always asked me for both, self declaration for the CAT 2 immobilser and the cert/declaration for the CAT1 alarm. Most mainstream insurers don't bother though in my experience.

Assuming its the standard fit one then its because you've locked it too quickly after turning the ignition off and the alarm is still getting a signal from the ECU saying the engine is running. Just give it a few more seconds before locking it and it'll be fine.

They'll probably want the CAT1 cert though daz, as it'll be a condition of insuring the car at all.

If its an import then it won't have an alarm fitted. Do you have an led down by the gearstick? There should be an installation certificate in with the manual to show its got a CAT1 alarm fitted.

You shouldn't have to no but if its works fine then I wouldn't worry about it. Probably took a knock in transit and got jammed wide open.

They look pretty, the standard ones are supposed to be quite good quality ones. But all silicon leads break down over time I find.

If the ESP/SERV lights come back its most likely either a shot brake pedal switch or its needs adjusting. If its intermittant then it'll probably just want adjusting.

Its just a hoot, cons are the build quality and some of the dubious engineering renault come out with (main candidate the gearbox).

Well i've got a version from late 2007 which is Dialogys 3000 version 5.x.x or something similar. Only trouble is all the repair manuals/tech notes are in spanish :mad:. Such a b*****d, as theres so much up to date info there but I can't read any of it :dapprove:. Up to date parts catalogue...

Bloody hell 50 notes, can get one done for £35 down here. And thats not a shitty backstreet garage either.

Ebay: http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=clio+cd+player Any of the tuner list ones should be fine, just make sure the code comes with it.

Its supposed to vary with speed you know?

Meths are nice and safe (as long as you don't drink them!) for cleaning it.

New box time I imagine.

nope, not really

Barring the lack of bodykit etc I imagine it'd be just like making a Mk2 RS replica.

Its with the oval plate sticker on the drivers door shut.

My old 1.6 used to do 40mpg~ round town, 46+ on a good run. The 172 does 36/37mpg round town and seems to top out at 42mpg on a run (70mph motoroway).

MOT at renault? How much? I know sutton park down here charge way more than the local garages do. And as said if it an 05 on 18k then it doesn't need a service until 4yrs/36k which is far too long imo but meh. Renault have changed a lot of the service schedules recently though. I know my mums...

Matt black sells them for £350 a set.

Whatever the car £70 for 4 discs and 2 sets of pads will be shite ones. Tell them to get fucked tbh, its your money and you'll spend it as you wish.

If its got the Alarm, Locking Nuts and Etched glass i'd say theres a fair chance renault have got it wrong.

Would be far better just to pay to get a key coded.

Yeh not so bad, but thats a guess as I don't know what they charge per hour labour? Obviously finding someone with a clip is the ideal.

Get a haynes and just follow the steps its easy. Hardly dangerous as long as you take your time and make sure everythings right. I'd do it if you weren't so far away.

I got mine from renault for 50 notes or so, looks nice and oem. Much better than a halfrauds one anyway, was going for a bosch one otherwise.

Thats the cost for a new key+coding, think they check a half hours labour for coding. So £50 or so at a guess?

Never bothered.

So no you can't buy one and make the money back on cheap remaps ;).
