Well I never!

Firstly I just want to say I am not surprised the electrics have ''gone wrong'' to some extent.
I managed to take the electric plug out the connector on the brown socket (seat belt pretensioners) and I was shocked at what I saw. The dreaded Renault logo.
Yes - it's true. That bastard Renault have been at my electrics, I knew someone had been at it because of the tape, the sign of a true Renault. LOL

Right - well, I admit the Renault logo on the plug connector is the LAST thing I expected to see, but I realize that this is WHY they are at fault now.

I know Renault parts are probably really cheap but FFS, did us Lions have to resort to such measures?

It then became quite clear to me that upon opening the connection box (and whilst taking two chunks out of my fingers) that I will need a soldering iron to complete this job: Yet another fucking tool I don't have.

With that coming to light I need to look at if I just do away with these connection boxes and re-wire them to something else, just a general re-access the situation.

I did decide to clean the engine cover, back and front.

I won't lie this was a filthy job and I was glad to be wearing my gloves, lol.

Before.

AFTER (when feeling braver will clean the oil cap......)

AFTER: what a difference?

Missing: rear end weather strip.......

And on other notes: Found out I am missing a rear end weather strip!
I knew I had to go around that salvage yard for something ;)
