![]() ![]() So I tried to restart it and it wouldn’t checked for fuel pressure Ok, then it did start but only on 4. Fortunately it was just of the front heatshield exhaust area as this was dripping in oil ( As mentioned all previous MOT’s). So I robbed the ones of the 2Ltr and it started straight away with no issue, ran up to temp and smoke was pouring out of the bonnet. 2 of the relays had gone south and the other 2 worked as and when they felt like it. This was the start of French Electrics post sabbatical 101. The engine still wouldn’t start and after a fair while of head scratching, I thought I should check the fuel pressure, ZERO. ![]() I linished my locating pins and found they all slotted in place with no issue. Eventually I tried all pins in all holes and found that the holes in the block where if anything all under 8mm. This was my first cam belt on a V6 and everything went to plan with the exception of I made my own locking pins out of 8mm rod but struggled like mad to get them to locate properly so had the belt on and off 2 or 3 times. The idea was to change both belts, pulleys etc. Checking the oil thou I found it stank and needed a change immediately along with the fuel in the tank which also had a fragrant hint to it. The car started, drove, and stopped for the 40 yards onto the trailer which was promising. The exterior was covered in a good layer “not used” car dirt which they always seem to attract, unfortunately after 2 or 3 good power washes the paint has gone flat and there are various scratches and a couple of bits of damage ( Front wing and rear bumper) The interior is its redeeming feature and as found was in good condition and has just needed a good clean and fed to be back in perfect condition. The car as found did run but has not been used on the road since 2016. As mentioned elsewhere I don’t mind mechanicals and electricals its body work that I have no interest in. I purchased the car in early august 2020 and have been working on it since to get it back to a road worthy project. ![]() It was owned by 2 previous members on here but there is minimal info on what work they did on the car. ![]() So BX53CZU is a Renault Avantime Privilege V6 Automatic. This is just a place to keep my ramblings which may or more likely may not interest people. ![]()
