CL10 CYA project

[Sean.R]

All,

Picked this old gem up today, some of you may remember the car.
It has sat for about 4 years in a lock up and needs some time spent to get it back to the glory days

It is currently a non-runner, has some kind of electrical issues / gremlins, won't start on turn of the key

So will start a project thread for updates and help we.migjt need getting to the bottom of it.

I like a good project thread.

 

[RSRowe]

Looks like a great base to start from!

Capers out due to water getting in, still drying out the foam

 

[Sean.R]

Still no further on with the none starting issue

Engine bay fuse panel removed, fair bit of fouling on the pins
All cleaned up and refitted but no joy

 

[Sean.R]

This things you find as you dig

Has anyone got some wiring diagrams?

 

[Sean.R]

But some cool stuff

I'd be putting that loom in the bin and starting fresh, that's been fked with far too much lol

I used a Megane R26 loom with the fuse box connectors from a 197 Loom swapped onto it using solder sleeves and its been absolutely rock solid. The one in yours looks to be a 197 loom adapted to a 225 block, which is a far more involved job than adapting a Megane loom to fit the Clio fusebox. I think I spoke to you briefly in the Meglio Facebook chat a couple nights back, the Turbo Renault guide by DaveL is the gospel for these conversions IMO.

It's beginning to feel like that
I am kinda hoping I can get it going just as is to make sure everything is ok - then go for a full tidy up over the winter

It's a 225 loom & ECU
