All French cars suffer with ******* awful electrical systems, it seems Pepe still can't design or build decent electrics into his cars.

French cars are renowned for having phantom electrical gremlins (as in my 206 which went into the local dealer 4 times for faults and the fault was never diagnosed or repaired) and poor earthing.

Modifying any engine comes with risks especially a 12-13 year old engine, mine was 7 years old and I accepted there was a risk from the off, don't get me wrong I didn't like having to spend £XXXX but that's life and **** happens.

I was expecting it but not yet, especially when it was actually being de-tuned at the time! The head gaskets were only changed in October so it was just a waiting game from then

**** happens and I completely understand the risks of modifying, just gonna come back bigger and better
