Can you??
It has come out of my mk2 ph1, but I believe it to be a mk1 motor and mechanism as it works on changing polarity.
Many thanks to those who help
So after my previous problematic threads I finally went for it today and managed to get the motors from the scenic (which I assume are the same as the ones in 1*2) working.
I have the motors spinning in both directions with the switch, great.
Now here's the issue's:
Just took my motor half...
PLEASE HELP
After buying some ph1 172 door cards and fitting them I have come accross a serious problem. The ph1 172 switches did not fit as my electric windows seem like an after thought.
These are the switches in question
You can even see (from the back) where the door card has been hacked...
If anyone happens to have their door cards off at the moment or have had them off recently could you answer me this simple question....
Which of these 6 pins does the live/earth (or positive/negative i dont know) go to?
It should be easily identifiable as there are two wires that run to the...
Ok so picked up an interior off of James at JMS, I only wanted the door cards but bennnyboy182 wanted the seats... the passenger airbag had gone off, so I (being handy with a needle) offered to fix it for him.
Finished this today and refitted the cover onto the seat.
The resutls...

Went down to Rob's (TheEvilGiraffe) and he gave me the use of some of his products and equipment.
Unfortunately no sun at all, but tried to get some ok pics.
I also fitted my centre caps today, so I added a pic of that in too.
Centre Caps
All comments/criticism welcome :)
Not the nicest of days, but I gave the car a clean since fitting my newly refurbed alloys and lowering it :)
I fucked up one centre cap whilst painting, thats being fixed at the moment and then they will be back on (I think)
Or do I go for no centre caps, new shiny things to cover the end...
Can someone tell me where the gear box level plug is on a 1.2 8v???
Drive shaft has just popped out whilst lowering, pissed oil everywhere, need to refil.
After fitting a ph1 172 interior to the car I have been wondering if it is possible to restore the leather at all??
I know with sofa's you can get coloured leather polish and then give it a clear coat of polish to get scratches out, would this work on a car?
The interior is in pretty good nick...
Ok so I decided to refurb my wheels… After a lot of deliberation and catching a glimpse of my car in a petrol station, I decided to go with silver wheels. Largely due to the way the silver in the dual optics goes with the silver in the wheels very well.
First off, had to take off all the...
Just finished the refurb on my wheels today, and was really happy until I applied the lacquer.
I chose a very nice bright silver etc, and was happy with how even the covering was... then today I came to lacquer it and it has gone VERY dark.
Is this going to become lighter as the lacquer...
Ok so I've done bits and bobs of spraying in the past but just wanted to clear up a few questions before I set about refurbing my own wheels for the first time...
Firstly, I know you sand down after filler, and primer, but then if you sand down after painting even with a 2000 grit, do you not...
So I'm gonna refurb my wheels come monday, I'm just really not sure what colour to go for tbh.
I am really liking silver, but it feels like a waste to do them the same colour, my wheels are just a bit tatty so I will be re-doing it even if it's just silver.
Silver...
Anthracite...
Ok so I've owned the car for about 4 years and have been slowly modding it over all that time so I thought it deserved a thread.
This car as a whole has been done on a pretty strict budget as during my entire ownership I've been a student, and since leaving uni I'm currently unemployed.
I've...
Ok so I look out of my window a few days ago and theres a squirrel in the middle of my grass having a bit of a laugh.
I grab my camera and hang out of the very little window. For some crazy reason I decide to try and coax it, much like you would a cat.
To my suprise, it worked! The little git...
Recently fitted dual optics to my mk2 ph1.... Got everything working fine now bar the headlight adjusters?
Taken them both out, both are working i.e moving... but i can't seem to get them to actually move the headlight bulb positions at all.
Is there some sort of trick to getting the adjusters...
Posting from iPhone so please forgive mistakes.
Fitted these following the guide, pretty happy but two questions.
What light is supposed to be illuminated as headlight? Closest to the centre of the car or the further one?
In the guide on here it says that all clios have the fuse space...
What do I need chaps???
Phoned up motorfactors earlier, was asked if they are vented or unvented? And after that, there are two options in each aparently. Any ideas?
Fitted ph1 sport seats to the car yesterday, everything fine, driven it a few times. Then...
Get in the car to drive back from a mates and get a high pitched noise, which gets higher/louder as i get higher in the rev range, same when in neutral.
First thoughts are bad earth?? Too many wires to...
Only taken on a point and click, a few in the car/out the window but was a nice day out around kent with the GF and her family. Note, the children are her sisters and I have a beard because i wasnt shaving until I got a job interview.
My Clio has a cobra alarm fitted, locked the car last night at a mates, tried to unlock this morning, and nothing!
Press the button on the remote, nothing at all, light on the remote still flashes so its not out of battery, tried disconnecting the cars battery for like 2 mins, nothing.
Alarm...
Recently got a new parcel shelf through from tony off here (t12eed) fitted with some cerwin vega 6x9s. (Big thanks to Tony, extremely quick to deliver and very well packaged) So today i gave the car a clean inside and out and put them in.
I know 6x9's on the shelf arent for most on here, buts...
Mk2Ph2 non-sport, black, white wheels (either turinis,speedlines or o.z's) twin zorst cut in. (VERY nice looking motor) - On the a2 just after kidbrooke, going away from london this morning.

Mk2 Ph2 parked up near victoria park...
You were flying down the a20 towards dover, overtaking everything in sight, i did flash/beep/wave (all in one fluid motion) but you just ignored me and carried on booting it. (which was an issue for my 1.2)
Need to get an MOT today, my old mechanic fell ill some time ago so can no longer take it to a "friendly" MOT place.
I'm pretty sure its gonna fail on the following but it has passed with all of these in the past.... ;)
One headlight does not have adjuster in, so unsure on how even they are...
