Ideally you need a 172 ph1 box. If you buy one from a ph2 they run the speedo off the ABS rings. The ph1 have a speedo drive in the box.
I mean this in the nicest possible way, but is a 12 year old clio really worth spending all that money on?! Belts and dephaser; £600, box £150 (ish) plus...
So just put your engine and numberplates onto yeecup's car? Good work.
Those ph2 sidestrips on there, i've touched those with my bare hands. Just you remember that... x
Does it involve making one good car out of the two, selling the leftover bits and then effectively having a sorted & modded ph1 flamer that owes you nothing?
I bet it does... ;)
Thats why I haven't bothered. I'll drive it until it or the tensioner gives up. Then I'll buy as secondhand engine and fit new dephaser, belt kit, water pump and clutch all at the same time.
At least then it *should* be bomb proof for the forseeable future.
Full history, Full leather, Full MOT, 18 inch AC Schnitzer wheels, Drilled/grooved discs, uprated pads....
Proper smoker for the summer!

Unless you know someone with the same car (and can chop and change parts) then the cheapest way of fixing this is to replace cheapest bits first.
Personally, I'd pay someone with proper equipment to diagnose it.
Not some mickey mouse code reader.
I may take mine to TDF to get wired up.
I don't think i've got the time or indeed the patience.
Yours looks better though, owing to the fact yours isn't 5 different colours! lol.
I had a clio with my first child. It is perfectly manageable. Everything fits inside, they're safe, etc etc.
However, I wanted to make my wifes life easier, so bought a 4 door car.
There's a massive black guy near me. His name is B***n Coke.
He has a yellow F355 spider, Range rover, Dodge Ram etc etc.
On the bottom of his number plates (which all say COKE in some form or another) It says ''I OWN A LIMO COMPANY, I AM NOT A DRUG DEALER''
Why? Is your friend a licker of windows?
You can buy a newer, better proper 172/182 for the same price and cheaper. Why buy one thats got a sunroof and has clearly been thrashed all day every day?
What is the matter with people??
