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

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...

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...
@Brigsy was right! I must admit I did wince a bit at the angle of bend and the force I needed to remove the existing pump but new febi item is in place and working fine!
My wiper pump has stopped working.
First things first I’ll check the fuse. I have grabbed some Renault documentation and …
The fuse box is located in the passenger compartment on the drivers side.
You what now?
Ah , it means on the passenger side end of dash!
Just been out and flicked a...
