Finally got of my backside and sorted mine…….
a local sparky checked the diode, which was dark and I suspected was the problem, but he said it was fine.
suggested I clean the contacts (shown in your pic above) and with a bit of sand paper and some EC90 electrical contact cleaner from...
might be worth a shot 👍
If you look at my photo, look at the diode top right. It looks burnt out to me, so i think that is the problem/needs replacing.
like I said, I’m thick as mince when it comes to electrics 😁
Yep my attempt is still ongoing.
I bought a Megane MK2 brake light ( part number 8200073239) as the multi block looked identical (it is and fits perfectly) but still not working.
could be battery voltage, something else….I’m defo not a sparky haha
Megane on the left, my original on the right.
An old family friend bought the original UK press car, I wonder if he still has it and what mileage it’s at now?
That’ll end up in a collection, then reappear in 10 years for £500k 🤪
Selling some SPG-13CS components (BNIB) and a KTP-445 power pack as no longer required.

You’re spoilt for choice in Wales 😍
We met near Hereford, went into the Brecons, heading for Black Mountain and basically made it up as we went. Same in Snowdonia, we didn’t have a set route, just made it up. Impossible to enjoy it all in 3 days! :)
Basically. Meet near Hereford on the Thursday night.
Friday is playtime in the Brecons, then B&B and a few beers.
Saturday, go do the Black Mountain Pass, then head up to Snowdonia.....via the B4518 (your fav 😉)
Once there, I don’t know where we will go, just need to do the B4391.
Then B&B...
I’ve added a few more subtle tweaks to the car now.
Turinis refurbed in anthracite (bit too dark but loads better than standard)
Michelin PS3’s all round
New Cup front dampers (already done rears last year)
H&R 20mm lowered progressive springs all round
Power flex front ARB bushes
Boot badges...
Bit of a late reply.....? I got the wheel from driftworks.
Personal Grinta 350mm wheel
You’ll need this spacer, the Personal bolt holes are rotated differently to the more common Momo/OMP wheels.

Altogether it was about £180, that was a...
Gearbox rebuild maybe?
If you’ve had any issues, with synchro even little ones for example then I’d get it done while it’s all out.
I got my belts done and was considering a g’box rebuild myself but the engine stayed in.
From what I’ve read (I’m no Clio expert) the gearbox can be a weak link
Well I’ve finally got off my backside, and fitted the sub (Alpine SWE 1200) to go with the Alpine ide-178bt headunit
All went well after reading from your experiences @Gus but then I came to the power lead through the bulkhead-to- battery! What a bar steward!!!!
I’ve given up for today, with...
