    H/U Removal Pins

    Guys, Lost the H/U removal pins for my Alpine 9882Ri. Removed it earlier by using a mates Alpine pins but didn't really do the trick cause the 9882Ri has a different folding front facia, for the CD slot. Where could I purchase a new set - they can't be worth much more than 1st class postage...

    W960i > What Next?

    Guys, Just past the halfway point of my 24 month contract on o2 with my W960. I waited a long, long time for it and when it came I wasn't really disappointed, but the little defects and lags it has in everyday use are really starting to be a urine sample. Refreshing SMS list when opening an...

    1.6 + Large Puddle = Flashing Emns Light?

    Drove through a regular puddle accelerating off of a roundabout onto a dual carriageway. Lost a bit of traction cause the puddle was a little deeper than I thought, but nothing drastic. Speed was no more than 35mph. The wheels over span a little in the puddle and immediately I lost power with...

    USB 2.0 Drivers

    For some reason all of my USB ports are running USB 1.1 drivers, no hi-speed 2.0 :( Everytime I put a USB device in, it reminds me :dapprove: Is this easily resolved? I've delved around for some USB 2.0 drivers for the motherboard, but didn't pull anything half decent from a google search and...

    Freeview Aerial Q

    Guys, Can anyone confirm if this uses a mains power plug or not, as the old analog one's didn't do? Doesn't say in the spec but I'd be hoping that it doesn't. http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=221128&C=39883&U=fvwtv_prod#features Thanks, Pete.

    Guys, How easy is it to get to the back of the cd stereo/head unit, as I want to feed something round the back there? I've fitted a new after market Alpine HU and simply want to run a USB Lead from the back of the HU, below the steering column. After minutes of crouching and looking with a...

    Have You Ever Wondered What A...

    ... 172 in Trophy red, or a 172 cup in black would look like? :) Just randomly contemplated it earlier. Has anyone photoshopped this before? If not, any one willing to please? :cool: It's one of those things I've never seen an image of and it's just gotta be done. Cheers, Pete.

    More Powerful Alternator?

    Guys, What is a sensible alternator to upgrade to that will have more power than the standard one fitted to the Dynamique range? Does fitting a more powerful one have any sideaffects? Does it use more fuel and drain battery power for fun etc? I wanna tackle the issue of my Xenon's + interior...

    These USB Alpine Head Units...

    Particularly interested in: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpine-cde9882ri-p-6423.html It lists USB connectivity, does that mean it will read USB flash drives/Pen drives quite happily? Is there a size limit [GB] that it can read? There's no front port, so how do you connect it to a USB...

    Battery Light

    Hey guys, The last week the battery light has been staying on until the engine is started, so on ignition startup I await all the lights to disappear, and the only one that is left with the handbrake light is the battery light. Yesterday morning I started the car and it did the same, and the...

    Remapping - What Side affects?

    Hey guys, With so many people now remapping TDi's and Turbo'd Petrols, what are or will be the long term side affects of this on a car? Would you avoid buying a car with a remap like the plague, just as you would one that's a CatD etc? I'm guessing the standard manufacturer components are far...

    Auto Lights Function

    Hey guys, My Dyna came with Xenon's fitted as an optional extra purchased by the previous owner on production, and until now the auto xenon feature like on the 1*2's always worked without fail on my car. I went and dicked around fitting various different LED sidelights to replace the halogen...

    'Poor On Motorways' - Why?

    Hey guys, In almost every review I've read on the 172/182, the first negative point is usually always that they aren't very comfortable, or generally not very refined on motorways. I really am unclear as to why. Even my 1.6 Dynamique sits at 80 very comfortably and has a lot of umph left in it...

    Manufacturers Sat' Nav' Units

    Hey guys, How easy is it to take a car x years old, and go to the manufacturers direct and have a sat nav system installed? I'm expecting the prices are fairly through the roof, but don't mind too much as nothing is cheap from them direct. I understand the official Renault unit isn't too good...

    172/182 - How Many Miles A Week?

    Guys, New office at work is just over 30 miles away, meaning I'll be doing 61 odd miles a day just to get to work and back. So very tempted to trade the Dynamique in for a 172, but mileage and fuel usage puts me off. Ideally I'd get a diesel obviously [or a new job ;)] but new job isn't really...

    Michelin PE2's - All Cars Or Just Clio?

    Hey Guys, From being on the forum the short time that I have been, I've strongly sensed that the general opinion is that the Michelin PE2's are the best tyre that most you 172/182, cup/trophy/PhQ etc owners have on your Clio's. Do you chaps believe they are they the best all round tyre on any...

    Anyone Play Golf With A 1*2?

    You old boys with a 1*2, do any of you play golf? Thought occurred to me recently. I can't fit my golf bag in the boot of my 1.6 :( I think even if I didn't have a 12" sub with amp in the back, there's no way it would fit! Say I pick a mate up, and both of us wanna’ take our golf bags, it...

    Dynamique Tyres - What Do You Have?

    Hey guys, Just wondering what tyres you have on your Dynamiques, and what you paid/pay for them on a regular basis. Had some Continental Premium Contacts (185/55/15H) which were really good. Not sure whether to get the same again, as my new budget tyres (Corsa 55's?) are pretty crap. Only had...
