Thats a bugger. All the visable moisture behind the buttons has gone now. I have put in some rice, hopefully it will do the trick. Phoned my local Renault dealer, looking at £180, 10 days and I have to get the car there. Even if I get one key working I am going to get another as this has...

The alarm is not an issue as it stops after a short time when the door is shut. I think the spare has had a flat battery for a long time and needs to re connect to the car somehow, is there a method for doing this?

I have opened the passenger door with the manual key and tried inserting the card but nothing happens, the alarm is still going off. Does this mean my spare is a dud?

Morning all. My wife, bless her, has put my keycard through the wash. Obviously water has got in and it now does not work. I have taken the battery out and put it in the airing cupboard. Will it survive? I dug out the spare which I have never used, put in a new battery and tried it but it does...

Just a bit of a follow up... I bloody love it! It does everything I need to at the moment and is very good when pushed hard. Its not the fastest thing on the road but I found that I couldn't use the SC VX's power all that often anyway. And compared to the vx it is luxurious! One thing that is...

Interesting hearing peoples buying experiences. I have never bought a car from a dealer, never had a good feel from them. At least with a private seller you get a feel for the type of person they are and whether they are being honest. And thats why I have put a deposit on a tidy little 197, no...

There would have been no money changing hands before the test drive, and I can sort of understand them not wanting test pilots. But the car was in a warehouse, right at the back with six cars needing to be moved to get it out. And had I driven it and thought 'wow this is it!' then maybe I would...

Ok, so I went to look at the white one this morning and it is very nice. However they wouldn't let me test drive it without a deal on the table, and he wouldn't budge on price so that was the end of that. I took 2 things away from that viewing; 1: they look great in white, I have never...

Right then folks. I have two lined up for viewing tomorrow. I need some sensible heads to help me look at the pros and cons and try and make a decision. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/renault/renaultsport-clio/renault-clio-200-renaultsport---------------2012/5510579?v=b...

Once again thanks for the replies, it is great to see an active and helpful forum. The VX forum was really good also. My wife can't believe I have joined another car forum, her face was a picture! How much do you miss the VX? I am worried that I won't find anything all that fun compared to the...

Thanks for all the replies! I have two lined up, one with (wrong colour), one without (right colour). I will keep you posted!

Hi Guys I have just sold my supercharged VX220, for various reasons, mainly impracticality. I am looking at 200s and think I have done all the research I can. I have found one that ticks all of my boxes apart from one, and it is causing me some headaches! The interior on this one is leather, it...
