My reciever (Bit by the sunroof handle) has blown because of a leak through the sunroof and therefore the central locking does not work. i was just wondering if anyone knows how much a new reciever is and does it have to be program to your key??? i was told by renault that you can use a reciever from any car and it will work but i tried my dads and it didnt so any advice will be apriciated.

hasnt worked for 3 months now, it definatly dried out, what electricial cleaner?
well seeing as it aint work for so long, is there much hope of it working?
dam that much!!! i was hoping bout £40.... oh well ill have to pop down to renault and ask i spose.
daz ill have a go tomorrow, if it works i owe you one!
i tried putting my dads in mine, he has a m reg RT and i got an R reg 1.2, and it didnt work :s
mine and my dads cars bout have inmmobilisers and are 3 years apart, i dont wanna buy one from a scrappy only to find it aint gunna work
lol where can i find one at a cheap price???
no but i will tomorrow, good idea mate. will be nice to be able to lock my car again. by the way its not totally f**ked! up close the reciever works, but not from outside the car or from 50cm away, strange huh?
wicked... and all i need is a tooth brush?
I Totally agree, cus i started it!!! i will have a good at cleaning it tomorrow and ill pm you Daz
thats why i suggested trying it in his dads to make sure the reiever is faulty and not something else because he said his dads reciever didnt work in his car and i think it should.Quote: Originally posted by Daz on 22 February 2004

Just go and get cleaning!
dont rely too much mate, f**king sh*t!! sorry dont know how much but i think seeing as your not going to use it in the locks you might be able to use another second hand key and get it programmed, whats the plip battery

So no one knows how much a key fob is going to cost and where is can be bought from? I only have one key and am worried that if i loose that then i will be in trouble.
daz, if i brought a clifford would i need the standard central locking? how much could i get a cheap alarm and central locking for?
Well, yea, cus you have a Mk1 Phase3 you have to keep the standard imobilisor too, cus its linked to the ECU.
So you have to get in using Clifford, then unarm the factory immobilisor before you can start the car. But when you zap the standard plip inside, it usually works.. heh.
Dunno bout cheap - I wanted a CAT1.

I have a mk3 1.2 Clio, which when it came had no central locking as it was a basic model, but I went and bought the MicroScan alarm and was recommended to get the additional central locking kit which works a treat. The whole lost cost £85 to buy but I had it fitted so I could get my insurance reduced.
Might be something to investigate as a cheap alteranative as it also means you have a Fully Thatcham protected car then
Also means you wont have to pay the monkeys at your local renault dealer for replacement keys, as the alarm comes with remotes.

Renault charge £30 just for a plain key with no electronics on board and I am pretty sure the key with the electronics on is about £50. But to be fair I think it may just be my local renault dealer as there are a bunch of clowns.
Hope this helped
Ah yer, there is that, thats one of the reasons I went for the Car I did with no electronics as they tend to be a bugger when they go wrong.
I was warned off getting a Renault with the remote central locking especailly one with sunroofs as for some reason Renault havent cottoned on that there sunroofs tend to leak.

I must be one of the lucky one then, mine doesnt leak. Not yet anyway *Touch wood*
