I think the other was called "stereo list" from memory but could be wrong. Have you checked all the plugs are in place on the back of it? Do the stalk controls work?

That soft touch plastic is absolutely horrible. Poverty spec stuff is better as it doesnt go sticky. Swapped out some of the bits in the Vee.

As Briggsy said thats the wrong head unit the one you need doesnt have a display as the display is next to the clock and they changed in 05 so wont work with the earlier display and wiring

Going to use elbow grease to remove the gloop.

I am not desperate for the sound quality tbh mate. More the OEM look

You wont get sound quality with oem stereo

 

[Brigsy]

I think i have the one out of my blue clio somewhere if your desperate. First thing that went

Post #90 in project 5low, 1st picture is the cup radio. Still have it in the garage and happy to donate also. (Unless it’s full of water, really need to do an update but apparently my time is better spent watching love island )

Today I went to see the Renault Oracle that is Paul from Diamond-Performance to do a driveshaft swap and a gearbox fluid change




First job was to drain the gearbox fluid. It did contain some sparkly treasure but as it settle to the bottom it doesnt exist. It also looks a bit weird.




Paul did some magic with this





to make a knackered one of these come out





All of this was done on one of these.




I so desperately need one of these ( lift , not cup. I have a cup already ! )



I dont have any reassembly pictures but I can say that the driveshaft is now click free.

However with the cup that keeps on giving I have discovered a knackered rear exhaust mount. Ill get one ordered!

Huge thanks to Paul @ Diamond Performance.

I have discovered a knackered rear exhaust mount.

Just like every other 1x2 ever!

Do the @Brigsy trick and fill the new mount with tiger seal, or itll just do it again.

 

[Brigsy]

Stick some powerflex inserts into the exhaust mounts. I run black series on my trophy.

I have another OE coming but I’ll do that next time.

Something isn’t right here. I think it’s the parrot getting in the way.

Known good Clio 172 54 plate cd / radio.

Can hear static. Beeps.

Nothing on the clock / temp though. Audio works via Bluetooth ( parrot )

I suspect the loom adapter has broken this part. The stalks appear to work.

 

[andybond]

In todays episode of I did a thing ; The rear exhaust mount was changed over

I have been suffering with milky wheel syndrome for a few weeks.

Cue a tip to get the heat gun out and see if I can get the moisture out.

Before




After




Delighted with that bit fully expecting it to return.

Renault car karma strikes again.

Went to pick up my son from his friends and the indicator cover has gone missing

Last time I drove my MK2 Clio the end fell off the wiper stalk...

Renault life...

Today I decided to swap out the checkstrap on the drivers side door.

Nothing went to plan.
1) The checkstrap didnt fit
2) I broke the plastic part that helps align the doorcard to the top of the door. Its superglued for the short term

However, I did have a supervisor.

Door card off


Back on - can just about make out the damage


Supervisor not impressed

Cats have the power to do this kind of thing. Did you do something to piss it off?
