    Keyless Entry

    I'll give it a go tomorrow. That's what the Renault techs must have done when they were caught on my Roadhawk camera when it was in for a service.

    Keyless Entry

    Get close to the car and it activates locks. Not sure about over-riding though.

    Gutted, annoyed and feel like crying!

    I don't think Paul/Martin will be able to do a thing with that. They achieved a 90% correction on my 197 and that was mild swirls. I hate to say it but that wil be a respray. Bit out of your way but a bloke in Northfield did my wife's punto and all I can say is that he's a genius to blend in...

    speakers

    When you say in are they in and wired up but not working? It might be that the gain is turned up for front speakers.

    Wearing of Recaro Seats

    Yes, I got it replaced in the end but only after a fight with Renault. The dealer (Birmingham Renault) told Renault UK that I had damaged the wheel myself and tried to claim warranty. Thing is I had a Roadhawk camera fitted to the car so it picked up the entire conversation and Renault were so...

    Wearing of Recaro Seats

    http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/Default.aspx Best off calling Renault Uk customer services 08000 72 33 72 . In my experience they weren't aware of the Renaultsports forum anyway so not sure what impact if any the contributors there will have. I know they had zero effect when I was trying to get...

    Recaro Seats

    Unacceptable, get back onto RUK and use someone els's example to push it through. Warranty is warranty regardless of where the car came from.

    Warranty work

    Perhaps we should start a thread giving case numbers and work done under warranty so when Renault claim that they aren't aware of the issue they can refer to the examples given. Melting steering wheel. Case no 1-184171194. Success.

    Warranty work

    Surprised the laquer is "shelling" from the panel, it does suggest a respray. Renault are not like BMW..ever and that's why I'm getting shot of the 197. I had to fight like crazy to get them to accept the steering wheel melting was a warranty item. Then again, your dealer might be ok; Renault...

    That's a tall order. I don't think it will polish out.

    Lance: Still got your Malibu? Vincent: Aw, man. You know what some ****er did the other day? Lance: What? Vincent: ****ing keyed it. Lance: Oh, man, that's ****ed up. Vincent: Tell me about it. I had it in storage for three years, it was out for five days and some dickless piece of...

    Rockos Red 197

    Was that you coming off the roundabout (M5J6)? just caught a glance of you if it was.

    Angry at local dealer!!

    Get a roadhawk fitted. I caught Renault Birmingham playing silly buggers in my 197 two weeks ago. Renault UK were mortified and can't do enough for me now. Literally just got back from having a new steering wheel fitted. Doing you a favour? 20 miles to test the aircon seems a bit much.

    Ipod Adaptor

    I'd be wary of controlling the i-pod without the steering wheel controls, sooner or later there will be a law against it (if there isn't already). Thinking about it, I am limited to 5 playlists but they are so long it's not an issue. For £42 the connects2 is a good solution.

    Ipod Adaptor

    I don't think you can change a thing on the i-pod via the aux cable.

    Ipod Adaptor

    Not sure this is true, mine (connects2) works fine with standard i-pod folder structure???
