HELP please!! My alarm keeps randomly going off on my cup..
RenaultSport clio Cup 172
Mine is doing exactly the same. If this is a common problem, is there anyone other than Renault that can fix it or does it need to go back to Renault????

day- no way am i taking it to simpkins, i hate them! u know that lol!! will go to inchcape.
its not under warranty so no doubt whichever renault i take it to they will charge me a million quid and prob wont even fix it the first time.
is there any way of not putting the alram on..? i dont want it going off all night thats all.
i've checked all my windows and looked for spiders or anything else, i aimed the sensors into the middle of the car.
is there anyway of fixing it myself?/fault finding?
thanks guys

Disable the interior sensors for a couple of nights to see if that cures it, on my brothers 182 he found the alarm harness multiplug disconnected, after he reconnected it, the alarm would be going off by itself, he has now disabled the interior sensors to see if that is the problem, and will go from there.

Sit in the car with all doors shut, switch ignition on/off twice then open door and get out, immediately arm the alarm, you should hear some beeps from the alarm to signal sensors switched off.
But you will have to do above procedure every time you lock your car because the alarm re sets itself after you have unlocked it and got in.
Edit - My brothers alarm has not gone off yet with the interior sensors disabled, so it looks like they are either too sensitive or they are faulty, is the wire swapping mod done by the stealers.

Temporarily Deactivating the interior sensors is just to test whether that is what is causing your alarm to go off all the time, i have got my car booked into the stealers tommorow morning, they are gonna check it out with the clip, and may turn down the sensitivity of the ultrasonics if that is the problem, i mentioned about the mod to swap over the sensor wires, they either said they do not do that or they did not know anything about it, can't remember.:S
Left mine with the stealers all day yeterday, for the alarm going off, picked it up later on and they said they could not find anything wrong :S , when i phoned them up to book the car in they said they could turn down the ultrasonic sensitivity using CLIP if that was the problem.
When i dropped the car off i gave them as much information as possible, i got the feeling when i was describing the fault the girl on the desk looked at me like i was the silly customer and should not be telling them whats up with my car.
When i handed the keys over i told them that the alarm wiring harness had been disconnected by someone else possibly to cover up the fact the alarm was going off, she even wrote it on the job card.
Anyways collects the keys and for a minute i thought they were gonna try and charge me for reconnecting the harness under n/s of dash, i could see a job description and a time of 0.8 written on the job card, she described what had been done spoke to someone else then just handed me my keys.
Lol three quarters of an hour to push 2 halfs of a plug together, i could do it in less than a minute, so far alarm has been ok, so not sure what they did.
