noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
whats that going to entail?? Other than a shed load of money and time off work
Its hard to tell really!! You really cant diagnose over the internet!! To be honest if you end up having to take it you may be just aswell taking it straigh to renault for immobiliser fault, Just make sure you say to them it wont start, how much is a basic diagnostic check? ( should be 1 hours labour), and tell then not to do anything else until they have spoken to you! Ollie will sort it out, you can borrow the BMW for a few days!
If you didnt live a trillion miles away, we may have been able to help! :dapprove:

(with massive discounts for cs members?) ??
pmsl, I will sort it, but not home until Wednesday so there's nothing I can do until then. Would happily give her the CSL until it's sorted, but she's not being added to my policy until the 20th when I get the new car :/
Be reet matey, I'll get there Wednesday afternoon and have a look. If no joy I'll just nip it into Renault.

That adverts on Dave are comedy, they make out like customer service is a bonus and not what the norm should be
Yep battery was so much more effort to write!
Clio 172
Evening all,
Chris here from Australia.
I arrived here by googling what I thought was wrong with my 172 and found that it was showing all the symptoms (heh) that the OP has detailed.
I figured that I too was in for a diagnostics job... but thought I would give it one last (this would be the thrid) go on the jumper cables as a last roll of the dice.
I hooked up the jumpers and let it sit on the battery charging for about a minute. Then, to my astonishment, the thing kicked over.
Off to get a new battery today! That probably wont help the OP but it might help someone else reading this thread and dispairing. Never give up on a jump.
Cheers

Before you try replacing the battery - check the wire from ther altonator is connected properly. I had a problem with my battery, and flattened it for fun - turns out it was the connector for the altonator.........

LMAO!
Vroooooooooooooooom
I'm back
Had a auto electric guy out today, after having been to reno and being robbed of 10 quid for a new immobilser code
He recoded it for me, which had no effect whatsover (cue much swearing and foot stamping from me)
turns out it was a blown fuse somewhere in the fuse box (obviously) and also the ignition relays were pitted and dying, so he replaced the fuse, cleaned and sanded (??) the relays and...VROOOOM!! Wahoooo!
all in all due to time off work, buying a new battery, and paying the electrics guy this tiny problem has cost me 300 quid
tut
but
Vroooooooooooooooom

Checking fuses is one of the first things you should do. Oh well lesson learnt eh.
