i guess when you say wont crank you mean the starter motor is not turning the endine so obvious question have you checked the connections to the starter motor?

solenoid wire comes from the connector block from the dash loom to the engine loom ..it should be a thick white wire (im going from my clio gtt conversion btw it may be different) it should have a spade type connection on it ;)

The solenoid wire goes from the starter to the connector under the header tank (main plug for engine wiring loom), these do cause some problems.

Worth checking if you have 12v going to the starter, if not start from there and work back if you have then it looks like starter problem
