Afternoon does anyone know how to remove the metal black security box at the back of the engine on a 1.2 clio year 02 thanks in advance

Yes,with difficulty!I would guess that the top part is rattling around chewing its way through the wiring.There is a small vernier screw and thumbwheel nut and pawl that locks the top into the bottom.The best way to approach this is to unbolt the engine control unit from the inlet manifold and raise it high enough to enable a small pick to engage with the nut to release it,then bin it,or use as a paper weight.hth

The best way to remove the top cover is using a small makeup mirror.
This allows you to see the back of the box.
You will see a small brass wheel with holes round it.
Use a small drill the size of the whole to rotate the wheel unit the cover comes loose.
The latching mechanism to put back will be apparent once you see inside.
Hopefully the loom will be only just starting to to chaff through and you can repair with self amalgimating tape.
Securing the box can be done by positioning the box and wedging a small piece of rubber at the right hand side, secure the rubber with a squirt of silicone from a gun.
I have used this method with success.
Best of Luck.
