Just wanted to say a big thanks to those who helped and give a note of warning to anyone else panicking about their Clio 172 (and presumably others with an immobiliser) not starting. Once again this is what mine WAS doing!: 1. Turn key to ignition-on - Immobiliser light in between speedo and...

Sorry, meant to say when you turn the ignition on the immobiliser light continues to flash. When you have tried to start the car, the light goes off. To get the starter motor to work again you HAVE to turn the key all the way back to off and then turn the ignition on again, at which point the...

OK - Just as an update, when you unlock the car the round, red immobiliser light in between the speedo and rev counter continues to flash.

Not sure how jump starting a car with a working battery and a faulty immobiliser is going to help! @ Yellow Peril - I've heard this before....Where do I find the TDC sensor? What does it look like? What would I do with it? Clean contacts etc??? Cheers. Simon

OK - Tried both keys. Still the same. Immobiliser light's on and still won't start. Bugger....

Thanks for that. I'll have a go with the spare.

Thanks for that. Can someone be a little more specific? Which part are we talking? Clean up or replacement? etc... Thanks

The red light beside the gearstick does go out when you unlock the car. Is that the one you mean? Otherwise there's another small round in the cluster of warning lights in between the speedo and rev counter - Is that also an immobiliser light? That DOES stay on.

Actually, I've just done a search (yes I know...I should have done it before posting....DOH!)....I think NickhallUK's reply to the thread below would be the answer to my problem....Better get the screw driver and cable ties out I think...

Hi guys. 172 climate started blowing hot when on the minimum setting the other day. Didn't matter what I did with the settings, they all still work, and the screen displays the full range of temperature settings, but it would only blow hot! The last 3 or 4 days it's been fine again...

Hi guys. Just bought another 172 after a 6 year gap from the last one! Noticed the exhaust is a bit "boomy" from the back. Can anyone tell me what the standard fit backbox and tailpipe should look like? Had a look behind the rear bumper of mine and it's a single pipe about 2' to 3" in...
