I don't think it'll work because the tuner list headunits are made by VDO Dayton who also make the changer, seeing as the later ones were made by cabasse i'm not convinced it'll work. Wouldn't get one from there anyway theres always a few on ebay at about a third of the price.

If its registered a fault that you can see with the dash in diagnostic mode then you can clear it with the trip reset button can't you ?

The only place to take the amp power cable through without drilling is the bonnet release grommet, 8awg is about as big as you can go but i've squeezed 4awg through with a lot of difficultly. RCAs from HU to amp you can run them down the sills or just under the carpet, i've just ran them under...

They unbolt from underneath as far as I know, bit of a pain in the arse but thats how it is.

The Ibiza has imo a horrible dash and the engine range is a little limited, I think i've looked at pretty much every smallish hatch and come back down to the yaris and the clio but I though i'd ask incase i'd missed any. Am v.grateful for everyones opinions and ideas, i'm gonna have to have a...

£150 from renault :eek:, I payed about £29 for a full set about 9 months ago, can't see the 172 ones being anything different.

Am going to look at one of these at the weekend, not sure about the gearstick but then I wasn't sure about the yaris dash either but ended up quick liking that. So we'll see. To be honest I can never see me regretting selling this car and theres no way i'm keeping it, sure its been my first...

Mini Cooper, one word, overpriced. Don't get we wrong I learn't to drive in a one and they're a lovely car, but they're just way to expensive for what they are. And Citroen, don't like them and the way they look, don't know why just don't. Gonna have to go look at a 1.6 again methinks. Am...

I'm 18, and I just can't stand this 1.2 anymore so I will be getting something else and not to be big headed but money will not be a problem 18 months down the line when I want something else, hell I be amazed if I can make it 12 months, with 2yr ncb the 172 becomes resonable enough to insure...

Right, i'm quickly coming up to having 1 year ncb and i'm itching for something a bit quicker. I'm basically looking at something around a 1.6 and not above group 10, so basically a warm hatch. Would ideally get a 182 but insurance is a killer so it will have to wait. As of now i'm completely...

Yep, bumpstrips, sidestrips, handles and spoiler.

Your memories aren't far wrong, i've got a full interior and two amps and a sub to weigh me down. I had all the rear seats out and most of the rear interior out when I redid all my wiring for my second amp and it was notably quicker stripped especially in 3rd, was quite tempted to leave it like...

Don't have it but do vaguely remember this would be worth seeing if anyone has it.

To jump on the bandwagon and for comparison heres one of my standard 1.2 16v running optimax but I doubt it makes any difference : http://media.putfile.com/clio_12_16v_0-60

Dabs do a 9 month interest free finance on anything over £300 you only start to pay interest if you haven't payed it off by the end of the 9 months. Prices will be cheaper than pc world/currys/etc too.

Well when I got mine I was a bit sceptical but as soon as I fired up project gotham I was just left thinking why was I not going to buy one of these. Worth every penny as far as i'm concerned its a lot more advanced than the original xbox in the features it provides.

http://www.cliosport.net/index.php?ind=reviews&op=entry_view&iden=43 Going off the guide there then yes it does, I know mine didn't have anything coming through the bonnet release grommet originally but it hasn't got an alarm so I'd say its safe to say that thats how their all done.

http://media.putfile.com/Top-gear---1362004---RenaultSport-Clio-182-Review Thats the 182 review, not sure they did a 172 review.

Think you can use the switched live but don't quote me on it. Someone should be able to give you a definite answer.

Nope theres no sort of aux in on the oem headunit, there is a way to make an adapter to use the cd changer socket though. Other thing is the dension ice link thingy.

If you use the adapter from car audio direct then you don't need to take the dash off, it just plugs in to the yellow iso connector that the oem headunit did. You need one of these http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=3474&cadid=12974150616f45df22f11a23568a5260 and...

The + / - are on the oem speakers in the actual socket. The + is the one nearest the retaining clip if I remember correctly.

I agree that renault market the dynamique as a sport model when it really isn't but really its more for marketing than really producing it as a true sport hatch. And the cars you've posted the Fiesta Zetec is pretty much a dead heat for the 1.2 16v in every area and on paper the clio is about a...

That could explain my current very slight loss of coolant, how much did it drop by? I loose about 10mm out the header tank every 3 months or so would of thought I would be loosing more if the pump was knackered.

Had wondered where the fog relay was for ages, could hear it but I could never find it. Only thing is to be careful messing around with those relays because some of them are for the multitimer for the plip/immobiliser and if the timer gets its power disconnected then I believe it has to be...

Without an ISO loom for the headunit then it'll be a major pain in the arse to do, basically you'll need to splice into the existing loom and connect the relevent wires together. It'll be a major pain and a little too permanent for my liking. Things like the speed sensors won't be used by the...

Did mine at 25k but it was 4 years old though, the cambelt kit with the tensioner is about £75 so anything else on top of that is labour. Its not too difficult as its only a sohc engine and theres only one tensioner and the crank and cam pulley to play with so labour shouldn't be too much but...

Also worth checking the front fog relay, i'm not sure where it is though :o I would guess its with the cluster of relays and fuses under the bonnet. Its unlikely it would fail though but its worth checking if everything else checks out ok.

Stating the obvious it doesn't just plug into the ISO connectors ?

If you pay the insurance i'll buy a 172 tomorrow, £3500 on insurance seems like a rather large waste of 3.5 grand to me compared to £900. Gonna be either a 1.6 or a yaris t-sport for me next in may. Was avaliable as an option though was it not ? As i'm pretty sure my dynamique+ has it ...
