General Chat / So my R5 caught on fire...

« on: 14:55, Sun 08 March 2009 »

Well I thought id be brave and jetwash the engine bay after work and all was good till I got home that was.
Only popped inside for 10 minutes to grab some stuff and when I came back out the car was still steaming which was odd, upcon closer inspection I could see flames and embers under the car, luckily Ive got a fire extingusisher in the house and managed to put the fire out without calling the fire brigade.



The cause? Previous shonky alternator/fan switch wiring.



Spend all yesterday rewiring it but cant get the fan to cut in so thats another thing for the list.

Nothing like owning an R5

« on: 12:20, Wed 19 December 2007 »

Hi, I have a 1989 Ph2 and a 1985-1992 haynes manual and in the back it says there is no diagrams for models after 1987.  Are there any other manuals that show them or Renault direct?
