I have two new check straps to fit and a replacement piece for the top of the door card that I cracked .
I am on the lookout for a new bonnet as my is rough. The car isn’t perfect, but this lets it down.
Files and folders.
Worked for an eon.
Why change what works?
I find it frustrating at times when people say its on the teams channel. Which one? I have 1.7million ( +/-10% ) of the things. Its an information black hole. Its facebook for the workplace.
Its the part that is at the top of where the doorcar meets the actual panel. Provides a weather seal/strip against the inner window. I think it might be 7701207589?
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...

I noticed there was an adapter loom on the end of the Renault loom. I guess it would be pretty simple to remove that adapter and plug directly in. That should give me 1/2 an idea.
I didnt have time / light to do that tonight.
It works! It beeps , I can hear the CD motor do its thing.
I just get static from the radio but I am ok from that but the bit I really wanted working is the display next to the clock temp - I get sod all from that.
Now, I normally take what @Krarl says with a pinch of salt but he was pretty specific I needed a pre 2004 tunerlist radio. I am pretty sure ( unless anyone can tell me otherwise ) that is a tunerlist pre 2004 radio?
It came from a Clio 172 ...
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.
Today I went to see the Renault Oracle that is Paul from https://diamond-performance.co.uk/ 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...
Jobs to do list
Validate if radio is OE or not
Checkstraps - replace
Interior clean
Soft touch plastic de fly trap
Touch up the exterior plastics that have gone grey
Bodywork - few dents
Bodywork - few scratches
Near side front wheel has gone milky in places.
Offside driveshaft swap
O2 sensor...
Next up on the to do list - clock / radio cluster.
The one I had was failing. The digits weren't working never mind the backlight.
Paul from Diamond-Performance donated a cluster to the cause and I purchased a pack of 10 bulbs. Of the first 6 , 4 did not fit too well. Awesome quality control...
