Key battery

Where can i get hold of a key fob battery for a mk1 ph1 172? Its slightly bigger than the one in the 182 for some reason.

Iirc the battery in a 1*2 keyfob is a CR3032 . You sure your battery is different ?

Look on the battery and it will have a number . Go to Halfords , Asda , Tesco ...... etc and look for one with that number on . You need that number , it's not something you can just guess at .

the code is CR2016 3V. Is this not normal?

What do ya mean " not normal " ?

If thats what it says on the battery then thats the battery you need . I was just trying to remember off the top of my head that my 182's keyfob has a CR3032 battery inside , i'm not 100% positive on that though .

it wont be a '3032' i dont think such a battery exists, a common fob battery is a 2032 but no Renault uses this

if its not the tiny one, a 1220, it will be a 2016 which you can pick up at the dealers or most supermarkets

I hold my hand up . It's not a 3032 it is a 1220 . I was getting confused with the battery in the remote for my camera .

But there is a 3032 http://watchpartsusa.com/Panasonic-Lithium-Battery-CR3032-Batteries/M/B0014WRVPU.htm
