Wiring Expert Suggestion?

[Steven_172]

Clio 172 Cup, 2003. rack prepared and recently had and engine change. Car won’t start. Suspect immobiliser issues… done every google/ forum suggestion and time to call in an expert!

Car is based in North West (Altrincham area)

Can anyone recommend an expert?

Car needs a bit of an overhaul anyway, geometry, second eyes on engine change etc. So maybe a one-stop solution?

Thanks in advance.

Have you still got clocks in? Whats the immobiliser light doing?

Lots of people will recommend Mick at Diamond motors, I've not personally used him but looking over posts he's made on here he certainly knows his stuff regarding the oddities of Clio wiring.

Thanks for getting back! No, stripped out the cockpit. Light is doing various things, but before starting is solid red. Traced the wiring back, checked as much as possible. Also replaced ECU etc. Armed turns over twice, unarmed 5-7 times. Confirmed no spark. No petrol pump hum either.

That is a lot closer, thanks! Do you have any experience of them, they look pretty solid.

No worries - Birchdown have a good reputation on here.

Some cars need the clocks plugged in to make ecu and immobiliser happy - not saying thats the case here but worth considering.

Thanks! Look forward to hearing from you. Car is essentially a bright blue paperweight at the moment.
