Hi,
I had something like this on my father-in-law's Frontera. After helpfully agreeing to change the HT leads, it wouldn't start either (and still wouldn't after putting the old ones back in).
The RAC guy came out, checked a few things, declared there was no injector pulse or spark.
There was also no ECU light on the dash. He removed one of the relays (behind the nearside headlight), cleaned its connectors and the socket and all was well again.
Maybe your problem's something similar - did you knock a relay when you were in the fusebox? Maybe try re-fitting them (don't know which one it'd be on a Clio I'm afraid).
HTH,
Iain
This is a back-to-basics problem. You changed the fuse. Why? Had it blown? What did the fuse control? Has the new fuse blown again (in which case you need to look to see why it keeps blowing). Come back with these answers and we might be able to help.
