HELP pls!!

Basically i've got a mk2 ph1 clio which i've slowly being doing bits n bobs on & the latest idea was to get a ph1 172 speedo ( white dials ) so i've found one & began pulling the dash apart only to find the connectors are all diffrent .. I thought this would work as i've seen others mk2 ph1 with them fitted so is there somthing i've got to custom make? heres the two speedo's side by side, by current one is the one still pluged in

really hope i can get this to works as i've thrown money down the pan if it doesnt..

Thanks,
James

Hi
The top clocks are off a phase 2 clio the bottom are phase1. As your car is a phase 1 the phase 2 clocks will not work. You cannot even chop the wires due to the phase 2 having multiplexed wiring.

not cool ... so how come i've seen other phase 1's with these clocks? & theres no way they could be hard wired in? even if it ment just getting the speedo, rev fuel, temp guage & indicator lights to work?

Another quick question, would this work with a mk2 ph2 ff 172? as i'm not a big fan of the standard basic look that they come standard with & since i hope to be getting one by the end of the year i'll keep them stored in the cupboard untill then

Yep you can use a phase 2 dash on a phase 2 and a phase 1 dash on a phase one but you cannot mix the two phases.

So are the ones i've tried to install the ph's 2 connectors then? the speedo i bought i thought was from a phase 1 172, is that not the case then? bottom line being will the clocks i've got above fit a mk2 ph2 172ff? as i'm not a big fan of the colcks that come with the ph2 172s
