French engineering? Sorry, no idea. That's after spending a weekend looking at one of these infernal machines!

How is anyone even capable supposed to know what the problem is, unless you give proper information? is it a 1.1 1.4 1.5 1.6 ? does it have a manual or automatic gearbox?

When you say it won't restart - does the starter motor turn the engine over, at least?

Does the car have one of those numeric keypad immobiliser things?
