Help assistance Needed to diagnose / get my 172 Runnining (Wrexham North Wales)

[finch wxm]

Anybody good with Clio 172's who could help me out / diagnose why I cant get my Clio to fire up.

The car has been off the road since I purchased it as it was a project for trackdays .

Due to a serious road accident and injury I think ive had the car 4 years now and still not driven it :-( .

I removed the engine and dropped it off at Birchdown for cambelt and de-phaser puller change and new pumps fitted.

I have got the Engine back in the car but I cannot get the car to start , Its turning over but not firing.

Fuel is getting to the injector rail but not sure if im getting a spark , need to be checked.

I did fit a new TDC sensor prior to removal of engine as one day the car would not fire up .

If anyone is willing to come down and take a look and go through some checks with me I would be happy to cover your costs.

The car is on my drive and it would be a pain trying to get it towed to a garage .

Let me know if anybody is willing to come give me a hand , I would love to get this on track this year.

Regards

Michael

I have the exact same issue just now mate. It's an absolute ball ache to source the problem :/ hope you get it running soon though

Might sound daft but is the fuel the same stuff that was in it 4yrs ago? Or have you drained and refilled?

Got a guy called Ben who runs a company based in Deeside called 'Ignition'. He is a Renault guru and will have it sorted for you in no time.
