Lee said:That's odd. The ones on my Trophy and 182 looked like Nige's, but the ones on my Import 172 (Sigma Alarm) looked like Pete's, but Pete's can't be an import as it's a Trophy. I guess it's whatever they have in stock at the time at the import centre. lol
If you don't have those Johners I'd get straight onto your dealer, occasionally the import centre do forget to fit the alarm, but it's very rare. Unless your car is an import, in which case it won't have them and you have to pay to get an alarm fitted. Where's the car from?
Keydogg said:my gf's (the car in question, as i have a Saxo) doesnt say a model on the V5, only that its a renault, will check ring them and check if its an import later, but im a bit gutted, cos u just expect everything to be fine dont u!
Johners said:I phoned Renault customer services who checked the chassis number and confirmed it is not an import but it was not bought from a renault dealer when new but from the factory direct???
Racing Blue said:Sounds to me like you've got a parallel import..
That's what my 172 was, and I had to pay £200 to get an alarm fitted. It still had 3 years warranty though..
Johners said:great! what is a parallel import?? (sorry blonde!!!)
just checked the V5 and all it says is renault clio sport, the previous keeper lived in weybridge.. another thing i noticed is the v5 says 2 previous keepers?? I am the second,, not unless it was the garage...
insurance certificate says renault clio 2.0i sport 172???

.Griff. said:Make sure you speak to Renault CS about the 3 year warranty.
Racing Blue said:Yeah, call Renault UK (Griff, who are Renault CS??? ), and they can send you a letter confirming you have the full 3 year warranty - they did for me.
At least you can get it all sorted now, and they're still good cars!
