what he probably meant was that there was a loose connection to the cps (crankshaft position sensor) for peace of mind id prob get it checked.

Good answer David.

Renault call it the TDC, Top Dead Centre Sensor, New ones about �20 and pretty easy job to fit.

There is no electrical connection to a car's crankshaft! He may have replaced a push on terminal to the starter motor, or it's solenoid, or to the electrical system somewhere or other. have a good look where he placed his arm and see what is there.
It will only occur again if a wire has no slack and engine movement pulls the wire apart again. Phil.
