i thought about tht but last nite nothin suggested the battery was goin.. like a sluggish starter motor as ive had on other cars. ill go check it tho.

try and jump it. Not sure of anything else if it doesn't even turn over. Might be your immobiliser?

Jump it and it'll work fine, same problem as mine by the sounds of things.

Suggestions such as TDC sensor, Alternator problems, pretty endless stuff as to what it could be.

give the starter motor a little love tap it worked for me,
good luck

my battery was perfectly fine always started perfect until one morning it wouldn't start. even jump starting wouldnt start the battery which made think it was something more serious. Got it towed to garage and they fitted a new batterry and it was fine.

found the problem, it is the starter. gonna give it the little love tap, she bump starts and runs fine.

Local garage just quoted me £285 for a newen fitted :dead:

i had this with mine. at first i replaced the alternator, sorted the problem for a while, then it kept happening, especially when it was cold (don't know why considering the problem). i then had a good look under the bonnet with a mechanic friend (works for the AA) and we found that there was a loose connection between the battery and the starter motor. Apparently this is a common fault in renaults especially of the age that mine is at.

ignore this then if you know what it is.

check the spade connection on the back of the starter motor, they often corrode and cause this problem

i'd say the starter solonoid is stickin myself should try whackin sum spray grease in the motor see if that helps before ya spend a shed load on a new one lol

check your TDC sensor, have a search for the guide on here.
