Renault Megane petrol won't start
My Renault Megane is suffering from an intermittent engine fault. It was sporadic at first, but is getting more frequent and the engine takes between minutes to hours to start. What’s going wrong?

The most common problem with these is failure of the crankshaft position sender on the flywheel, or its cable, or the connections. Maybe all that's wrong is that one of the connections is loose.
