sorry to hijack, I was thinking this to, although mine doesn't look OE Renault, and don't have a remote etc, just a little plastic bit that is next to ignition barrel and I have to put it in there to un immobilise it
Not sure mate
If you do cut it out and you're only going to bin it i'll have it off you to use as a dummy in my bay, with it being a Renault part an all that
Either way get a decent Thatcham approved alarm fitted in its place
Hi all got a brand new renault upgrade alarm in box never fitted. Bought of ebay many years ago with no fitting instructions and apparently works of the original key-fob when installed. Any use!
I don't think they came with a standard alarm as such did they?
Was an upgrade to base central locking kit from memory.
Does the sounder look the same as this Jon?Originally Posted by 5279
Will have to check in loft chap! Bare with me
In original Renault box, key switch located on a different side of alarm, Renault written on siren face, two keys and full loom kit. Just no instructions.
If you have got it sorted then no bother otherwise mine should be avaible i just dont know what to do refrence getting rid of it
You could fit a new alarm and get the your old siren box fitted with new siren internals. Done this a few times, confuses the bods who fit the alarms when they see a moss siren box with clifford install lol
Yea that is a good idea lol
If you're removing yours chris ill just take that please
Seems silly splitting and using a boxed possibly fully working set up as a dummy siren.
Its almost out johnny pm me your address to post it to mate
also is this anything to do with alatm set up its riveted rite next to it
That's to do with the headlamps I think.
Dim dip module leave it in matealso is this anything to do with alatm set up its riveted rite next to it
If you do snip all the wires for the alarm, try to remember where they came from, take pics, just incase the alarm wiring in some wonderfull way is needed.
Yea i have chopped it out now and it fires they had cut in to the coil wireing i have cut it out and rejoined coil wireing
Better leave that alone then if its for dim dip lol
a black f reg 5 had that i think that is a aftermarket alarm i think and a few other cars i knew had the simmilar type,i guess its ok and its works use it just dont lose the chip you have to stick in
Yep mine has this that runs alongside and separate to another alarm that tells (in a kinda Professor Hawking type voice) any scroat that gets close enough to bugger off.a black f reg 5 had that i think that is a aftermarket alarm i think and a few other cars i knew had the simmilar type,i guess its ok and its works use it just dont lose the chip you have to stick in
I also have the plastic thing thats just an immobiliser its seperate to my alarm tho
mine had the serpi star alarm in mine and you had to swipe the small fob along a IR red light i knew that if you didnt then you can not of started the car at all,this worked the central alarm system also,THIS might of been a extra when renault sold there cars,OR it might just be the oe to the car.....this was my fob i had for my car

you might be able to find instructions the internet some where for wiring up the alarm???
i guess
Yer I think mines separate aswell, im sure it just splices into the ignition wire? And could be the reason my starter motor clicks a few times before starting as the splice is probably 20 years old and is maybe building up abit of resistance there?
I don't have a key fob, just door lock and ignition lock keys. So the alarm bit in my engine bay is probably the remains of a alarm kit at some point and the fob has been lost along the way with its something like 7 previous owners lol
Also my central locking works, but not on the boot, I cant see any wires or solenoid etc to rear do no 5's have central locking on boot?
Yea could be the reason more lickely the connection on the starter tho but you never know with the wireing on an old renault
New starter, still the same, new connectors, still was not allways getting 12v down there, then replaced the whole trigger wire upto connector of doom, still not allways getting 12v, I think its the splice. I may fit the relay or just replace rest of wireYea could be the reason more lickely the connection on the starter tho but you never know with the wireing on an old renault
I had this on a truck at work if you wiggled the key in ignition barrel and occasionaly it worked so i replaced the barrel and its been perfect since
