    Renae FOR SALE 1986 Renault 4 GTL 1108CC in Silver

    Hello and a warm welcome to Renae! She is a 1986 (13/02) Renault 4 GTL 1108 CC in silver. Currently looking for a new partner in crime, or whatever you fancy. Now my imagination is running away with me, thoughts of what she would be like as a getaway car? Not good I would think. Certainly...

    Carb needed

    Hi, After an epic few days in Thenay I have discovered that a 5 cent coin makes a good repair for a broken carb. Whilst I have every confidence that this will continue to hold and prevent excess air in the mixture I think I need to address the issue. The hole......... If anyone has...

    Retro Cars.

    Completely agree, if I can find it! Where did you get your copy Cornish? I was at Derek's yesterday and he showed me the article. Would love to get my R4 interior redone in the same way but that may be a project too far at the moment.

    Too clean?????

    After too much time in the cold yesterday it occured to me that perhaps I was wasting my time........ Well to elaborate, I finally figured out how to get into the engine bay after much playing around and guesswork. One thing led to another and before I knew it I was wiping clean the...
