hi new here, got a renault 5 gt turbo recently and when trying to start it sometimes nothing would happen so i would turn the ignition on and off a few times and it would start. now its doing nothing at all
it had a new starter motor fitted a month ago so dont think its that
thanks

Exiter wire is probably kaputt, or if you have an immobiliser iftted it may be playing up.

The exiter is the white wire that goes to the solenoid on the starter mate, your best bet is to chop it before the main engine loom connector near the headlamp & fit a 4 pin 30 amp relay using the original wire as the trigger/new 12v feed for starter.

Best place for advice is the renault turbo owners club mate http://www.rtoc.org get yourself joined up
