First dealer visit for 2004

[norfolkminis]

went to pick up my 172 this afternoon from Renault, after the alarm was going off every 20mins. Handed back the keys to the beast of a loan car (brand new 1.2 dynamique).

The receptionist went off to check that the car was done, she came back and said that the mechanics had found a faulty bonnet switch and the alarm had been fine all day. BUT its just gone mad and its now showing faults with all the alarm sensors in the car!!

So it looks like a new alarm unit for me and another 24hrs worth of abusing a poor little 1.2 clio.

which reno dealer u using

 

[norfolkminis]

Swan street in Kings Lynn.

Just had call from Renualt. The main computer in dead/dying.

Every hour its now saying that the doors are being opened!! And guess wot - Renualt UK aint got any parts in stock. so looks like Im without an alarm for a bit

Had the choice either have my 172 back with no alarm or keep the 1.2. The choices!!

 

[jon_r]

keep the 1.2! nothing like keeping up momentum in a loan car.

 

[norfolkminis]

just took it back as they couldnt say when the computer bit would be in.

The car was brand new (70 miles on the clock) just returned it with 250 in 2 days.

It was certainly an experience!!

**sorry to any 1.2 owners but how do you manage??**

My alarm is odd, goes off once a week when parked outside work, its always the exact same truck passing on the main road that sets it off every week without fail, I check on our cctv system to make sure im not going mad!
