Renault Clio 172
just thought i would post this in case it helps some people out
my clio 172 has had problems for months not starting, i have done everything possible to try and sort it
new battery, new terminals, new tdc and loom, starter motor, the list go's on.
anyway today it just would not start all day, i was about to give up, when i asked my mate to wiggle the negavitve terminal whilst i was in the car, all the lights went out and on again. um
i decided to hook a jump lead to the negative terminal(which is new) and the other end to some metal on the car. hey presto it started.
it turns out that the point it earths to on the car was a bit oxidised and dirty, cleaned it up and it started, im pretty sure this has been the problem all along.
