I have designed some 3d printed replacement sunvisor mount covers for the commonly broken ones on the Clio 3
Main body of the cover clips onto the mount and the small infill panel then clips onto the cover, which allows the cover to be removable should it be required.
These are 3d...
I haven't seen it myself but I believe it is around there yes. So not the easiest to get too lol.
Re: the ECU - I would disconnect the battery first before playing with the connector :)
I believe - maybe someone more knowledgeable can confirm - there is another white connector (similar to the one in the engine bay fuse box) located in the area under the scuttle panels/below the wiper mechanism. The wiring from the throttle pedal etc is supposed to run through this. If I am...
I did see those type of leds when I was looking for ones that would fit, but I didn't go with them for a couple of reasons. Firstly, at 9mm diameter I wasn't sure they would fit - especially with the metal cap being that large. There is a chance you could create a short on the metallised film...
@frayz no worries! I posted this on OzRS a while ago but will repost here incase people can't view it. Will hopefully help those who are after either both standard and led specs 🙂
The standard bulbs are 12V 3W festoon bulbs but much narrower than the usual festoon bulb at only 6mm diameter...
@rs 1an - they look like the same colour as the 172 lights? Assuming they were they plug and play?
If you don't mind me asking - what are the part numbers for them?
Just wondering if anyone can confirm whether the 172 Xenon headlights are still available from Renault? I believe the part numbers are 7701051794 (drivers side) and 7701051793 (passenger side).
Cheers
I have had them a bit longer than I have known my wife. They are as good as they were when I first got them.
If only my wife was like my Mitutoyo :ROFLMAO:
I have some Mitutoyo 6" digital verniers that are about 21yrs old and still going strong - have only recently put my 3rd battery in it as well. Definitely one of the best tools I have ever bought (y)
Just to follow up on this I had to file away some of the inlet runner - not a huge amount though as I also shaved down the cap itself a bit to make sure it had clearance to fit.
No biggie in the end but a bit disappointing that it required a bit of fettling to fit - posted as I was wondering if...
Recently I got a replacement oil cap for my Ph2 172 - Part No 8200062947 - but it doesn't seem to fit :(
The diameter of the cap is slightly larger than the original cap and means that the side of the inlet manifold runner interferes with it, and I physically can't secure down onto the engine...
Problem resolved 👍
Had the dash off yesterday and took a look, but cleaning and re-seating the connectors etc didn't magically clear the fault. From what I could see the airbag ECU was also clean and I hadn't ever spilled any drinks on it, nor did it look like previous owners had either...
In the last week I have been getting intermittent, tending to in the last day or so more permanent AIRBAG + SERV lights on the dash - though when I start the car no lights show for a few seconds before they come on again. I had hoped it was the common pretensioner connector issue under the seats...
Thanks @MarcB ! (y)
Just to add to the above, I have also found that Renault engine bay decal 7700423730 will also be a suitable replacement for the original stickers that came on the Ph2 172.
It is a longer decal, but as pointed out by MarcB above all the info is the same - just need to make...
Yep I have - pretty straightforward tbh, provided the wiring is already there it's plug'n'play (though IIRC it seems as though all AU delivered Ph2's came with the wiring there for CC so you should be ok)
There is a thread on ozrenaultsport.com that outlines what parts you need etc...
The fixing tab looks to have a step in the bottom - if you look closely it is thinner near the fixing hole and also the supports are taller there then back near the base of the holder.
It may actually be flat on the bottom but perhaps the corners of the base are rounded off (fillet) - if so...
Proof of concept *tick*
Just need s a little refinement now.
The issue with that would be the size of the cover + a cupholder might well be bigger than the build plate of *most* cheap 3d printers - and more than a few expensive ones as well.
That's pretty impressive, but think that is an 1/8mile track not a full quarter - if it was a 6sec quarter mile time then the speed would be much higher than 110mph... :smile:
Always wanted a Caterham or similar myself - should've brought one back from the UK with me...
