Renault Avantime Recomissioning Part 1

The process of getting a mates Renault Avantime V6 back up and running again.
As far as i know this car has not run for approximately 7 years, 1 of which it sat outside my shed waiting as i got through a 406 then 407 project.

The first steps mainly in this video concern getting the Avantime started and running. By the end of the video it was running and a nasty ticking sound was cured with an oil flush and new oil.

The next videos will cover the removal of the engine, dealing with the rust on removable parts such as the subframe, rear axle and radiator support bar. With the engine out the timing belt and rocker covers will be addressed.

If you have any tips or advice regarding working on these Avantimes that is more than welcome.
