I think i have solved / identified what the strange starting / flashing red imobiler light might be.... I took the chip out of the key to find the microswitch has been fixed with bluetac! As its the only key i have, i didnt want to mess about so put it back in and closed the key. Since then, for...

Also have just managed to fix the issue of the radio not working and requiring the code everytime I start the car. Along with the clock resetting to 00:00 and the interior lights only working when the key is in the ignition. It was a blown fuse! The lights in the door cards are brilliant! Give...

I picked up the service parts and made a start on that. I have changed the pollen filter and air filter. I will do the oil and oil filter tomorrow. I also bought 4x new glow plugs and will be getting a Delphi fuel filter. You can see it has been a while since it was last serviced by the look of...

I decided to see what the egr valve was like and give it a clean. Massive thanks to @Brigsy who pretty much talked me through it step by step via messenger ?? It was straight forward when i understood exactly what i needed to be removing. The valve was covered in thick gunk. The shaft part was...

PROBLEM SOLVED. IT WAS A BLOWN FUSE. Now interior lights work when unlocking the car, along with the radio working automatically and not needing the code entering each time you start the car, and the clock time doesnt reset itself anymore when turning the engine off.

There are only 4 blocks on total. 1 large black and 1 large white. They can both only go in their own slot and coudlnt be mixed up. Theres also a small blue and a small yellow block, they are colour coded on the headunit so cant mix them up either. Radio will only work if keys are in

The clio passed its MOT this morning. A few advisories but nothing major and no rush to sort. Im going to order the service parts now I know it doesnt need anything major. @YorkshireKyle very kindly posted a standard headunit to me! Thanks again mate. It looks a lot better than the...

Tried that mate, still the same.

Wh at do you mean mate? I have put the standard wires i to the standard unit, and they can only go in one way?

To add to this. I have just put a standard head unit in, and when starting the car each time i have to re enter the radio code. Its as if it isnt remembering it? The key when in the barrel is definitely playing up, i have to slightly knock it back on itself for the radio and climate etc to power up

To add to this. I have just put a standard head u it in, and when starting the car each time i have to re enter the radio code. Its as if it isnt remembering it?

Yes lol, first thing i checked.

No mate, not then either! Only when key is in and turned to at least the first setting. Well actually, i can turn the key to a first turn where nothing starts to operate in the car but, no dash lights etc start up, but the interior lights will work then.

Thanks mate. Yes i know the barrel is what the key goes in. I just meant the actual key, when in my hand feels a bit loose inside. Nothing to do with the barrel. Although the barrel itself does also feel strange and not like a normal clio should.

Thanks Bloke, so do you think getting a new key coded would solve the issue? I get so many conflicting answers.

Sorry mate, i meant the actual key itself. Sorry mate, i meant the key itself. Not the inside of the barrel

Key feels a bit rattly inside so could be? Iv change battery in it to see if it was that

Yes mate they do

Hi all, When inlocking my clio mk2, the interior lights do not illuminate. They will only work when the key is turned on (to the first setting at least in the barrell) Any idea why? Thanks

Im not sure mate. If the barrell was at fault, im not sure that would cause the imob light to flash though? I have had s many different responses as to what it could be lol. Ignition switch, crank sensor, earth cable etc etc

Video wont work! Anyone know how to do it?

Haha its horrific tbh mate. I know its 15 year old, but was wood trim even a thing back then? I thought it was at least 30 years ago style ha ha! The gear knob is so strange! Its massive! And also reverse is not in the usual clio position, next to 1st? Its as if it is in the space for a 6th...

Yes mate it has the sport wheel with cruise control too lol. Rear electric windows but they aren't working! Need to figure out what it is. Whats the Cabasse set up? Yes, aftermarket cd player is shocking! I have a tuner list on its way in the post to replace it. It has a 6 cd changer under the...

I have searched on here and google, taking me to multiple sites and its difficult to find a similar issue and solution. I bought a mk2 clio dci 100 1.5 a week ago, and it has a strange issue when starting. I have attached a video but will also tak through what it does and what I have to do, to...

I got home late this afternoon from being at London all week since Monday with work. We have had a load of ice all week and snow yesterday and last night so i was interested to see how the clio would start since it hasnt been started all week. It started straight up with no delay, well other...

Did you start it up yet?

Nice one Gez. Keep it updated with the outcome when you next start it up ??

Cheers Mazz, its a very unique find and I look forward to getting it in as much of a perfect condition as i can. Please keep your thread updated as its a brilliant read!

Mazz, i have read through this many times now as it is such a fun project to read. I have been on the hunt for a dci for a few months now and managed to pick up an Initiale 100 at the weekend. I hope you dont mind but i may ask you some questions at some point soon when i start working on it.

Haha pretty cool. Im going to get it as immaculate as i can. I bought a machine polisher a couple months go so i will test it out on this. Yea if you could that would be great cheers. Yes, the greyish colour. Half leather half alcantara. Really compfy tbh Ha 250k thats good to know!
