How about something old looking but modern on the inside? Lilke this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Classic-Car-CD-Player-Chrome-Front-with-AM-FM-Radio-USB-SD-Aux-In-Retro-Vintage-/171464294866?hash=item27ec1181d2:g:l-wAAMXQCtlRQxB3 or this...

Hi Paul, I didn't even try to test my cassette player fearing it would also eat up the tape. I'll install a hidden bluetooth receiver on mine instead. But if you want to fit a newish radio, you'll only need to connect 3 cables - power wire, ground and sense/remote wire to the ignition + speaker...

I had no idea. Never seen any R4 with those here in Portugal.

Hi Edwin, I don't think those were even fitted in the R4. You probably will have to get some hinges and adapt them to the glass.

This new cable will only be live when the switch on the gearbox is closed (reserve gear engaged). Finally success! Its a good thing i'm bald or i would be pulling my hair by now :) I still don't understand why the wire is connected to ground from the factory. Perhaps it was intended for the rear...

Just for added safety i connected the white wire i cut to the empty fuse and added a new wire to the same fuse so it can be ran to back of the R4.

So if you are going to do this yourself and if you also have a plug with 2 wires near the gearbox, you need to trace the wire going to fuse 1. The other wire is grounded so cut it BEFORE it connects to the other ground. You can see in the photo where i cut it - it's the small one. Leave the...

The 2 wires for the switch were there already, as you can see from the pictures I posted. The problem was that I traced one wire to fuse 1 but couldn't trace the other one. Yesterday I finally got it. The other wire from the switch is connected to ground on the rear lights. What I've done was...

Hi Sutree, Actually yesterday i saw it is also sold by wook.pt. A bit cheaper and with no shipping costs within Portugal. I guess Christmas will be earlier this year ;) However, yours is a very good tip even for our friend in the UK or elsewhere, since Ascari has a large selection of books and...

It would be too expensive for me to get it from ebay because of shipping costs. I'll try to get a copy locally. In the meantime could you please check where a wire goes to? I'm almost sure i wasn't able to connect the light yet because i'm trying to plug it to the wrong wire. From the switch one...

Can't be it then. I'm using 3mm cable (the only cable i had at home). Thanks for reminding me of Ohms Law :) BTW, where can i get an Haynes manual? It's something quite handy to have. Well, i don't have too many bottles of Porto. But then again, they are not so expensive and very easy to get...

Not complicated at all Andrew. But i don't think this is a case of limited current flowing. If it was just a small current issue, when i connect a wire to fuse 1 it would also have a dim glow. But it doesn't. It just stays on and bright all the time. What i'm thinking is perhaps the dim light as...

Thanks for the tip Andrew. I did test directly to the battery before. All was well. Also did what you describe on the 2nd test. On fuse holder 1, on the bottom part, there's no contact without the fuse installed. So i connected the wire there. Still no luck. I didn't try to connect to a...

Hi Cornish, Yes, that's the first thing i tried. However, if i connect things like that, the light will be on all the time when i turn the key. Regardless of what gear i'm in. That's because both wires coming from the switch are somehow connected together in the fusebox (cannot trace the other...

Hello everyone! Sorry for the delay. I think I need some advice here. Here's where I'm at: I connected the switch from the gearbox to the fuse box. With a multimeter I saw that with the switch, the first wire on the fuse box would always have current when the car is on - even if not in reverse...

Cornish, it also doesn't have fog lights. But I'm ok with that. You almost never need those under Portuguese weather :)

I managed to put the switch. That screw really didn't want to come out, after being there for 30 years. But the connector doesn't have enough play to reach the switch. Will have to cut it out or extend it. I didn't have time to trace the wires thoroughly. Another lady demands my attention. I...

Thanks for the tips guys. As you can see, it does have the loom already there. I'll try to find the other end of that cable on the rear door. On the gearbox, should I take out the nut in the photo and screw the switch there?

Sure. I got it from a Portuguese site: http://www.all4renault.com/products/a7700517549-interruptor-da-luz-de-marcha-tras/ There're out of stock now but it cost me € 12.30 + shipping.
