You are very welcome Kevin, and good idea, new old stock is always good if you can find it. Kind regards Bry

I've had the self same problem. Some bottom steering joints are too long, and while it's fine when the car is on it's wheels, as soon as you jack it up the boot clip fouls the bottom arm. The problem arises when the car goes for its MOT. You must make sure the tester is aware of this and...

Hello Leonardo, a pleasure to meet you too buddy. Nice to see "old school" 35mm pictures. Kind regards Bry.

Same to you Andy, and all of you out there in R4 land. Kind regards Bry

Interesting article, but I've just checked that Wicki site. Production started at a place called Naas in 1962, later it was transfered to Wexford in 1972, and it did indeed close in 1984. I stand corrected. Hope this clears that up. Kind regards Bry

Hi Q plate. If your car was originally supplied new in 1985, like my GTL, it was built in Wexford in Eire. An assembly line was first set up there in 1978, and shut in 1986 to cope with the high demand for RHD 4s at the time, both in Eire and the UK. Regards Bry

Richard Sowerbys F4 pick up at the NEC last weekend.

On my recent trip to Sardinia, where I spent a lovely weekend in the company of the amazing members of Registro Storico R4 it was mentioned that some of them would love to visit the UK, and do we over here have any R4 gatherings? Well, I think we know the answer to that one, so, how about it...

Near the Great Saint Bernard Pass. September 2023.

Again the only Brit, just saying:whistle: Sadinia and Volterra.

Glad you got fixed up ok, but for anyone else who needs a replacement cable, Speedy Cables can make one up using your old one as a pattern. Cost about £30 a few years ago. They are good for gauge repairs and any other hard to find cables too.

Derek is now in Devon, near Holsworthy, so not too far from you. His number is 07816586642. Best to phone him in the week please.

Simply French Day at Beaulieu is on the 10th of September.

A couple of years ago I replaced the drivers seat cushions, the new ones came from der Franzose. At first I felt I was sitting rather higher having for a while been using the passenger seat as the drivers one had collapsed. As time has gone on the new cushions have bedded in, and now I feel I'm...

It might not be the boot thats the problem Malcolm. Some aftermarket suspension knuckle joints are too long, so reducing the gap between bottom suspension arm and drive-shaft. The Delphi product is a case in point, some 4mm longer than the original part, so when the car is jacked up you cannot...

Yes, just where my car falls, too old for a sticker, but not old enough for exemption. Bloody bureaucracy :doh:

I fitted my fog lights in the same fashion, and I often use them as running/marker lights, so I can be seen in the hubbub of modern traffic.

Hi Sprackers, I recently tried to apply for a Crit Air sticker, but when I entered the year of registration, (1985), I was told my car was too old to have one. So I just need to avoid the cities, which is fine by me. Be aware, there are some fake sites out there that will rip you off. I speak...

Hi all. Unfortunately the promised big R4 event in France this year as you probably know didnt happen, but there is a chance it will be on next year, so watch this space. However there is much R4 activity in Italy, so, who on here is making their way there in September? Kind regards Bry.
