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. You won't be disappointed with the spec and condition of this rare car with amazingly low miles, old MOT Certs verify mileage.This is just a place to keep my ramblings which may or more likely may not interest people.
