Try 'A610GA', what Geoff doesn't know about auto electrics ain't worht knowing.
He will know someone who can help in your area I'm sure.
What are the problems, we could all try and point a few things out.

? What, the whole car or just the engine. I have complete car looms (less engine) but that would be a nightmare to fit, its hard enough pulling it out...

Don't know if engine looms are available still from Renault. Making a new engine loom up isnt a problem though, if tedious...

lol, I will take a photo of the whole car loom, there is a surprising amount. It is almost too heavy to lift on your own too....

Honestly Ben, it wouldnt be cost effective, due to the hours involved, and its not just the wires that cause problems, youve got relays, all new plugs (which may not be available) etc...

Up to you... :shock:
