Most of the online auto electrical sites have buzzers that you can wire into your indicator circuit.

If you look on the Lancashire GTL thread in Projects, you will find some information on how I did mine. The main difference could be that your headlining may not be the rigid plastic type and may need some extra trimming to finish.

Nearly there now, a last few details were all that was needed prior to MOT. The hot weather slowed me down with finishing off, but yesterday I finally took her out for a quiet sortie down the road, prior to making the call. Everything went fine, but when I got back I found brake fluid on the...

Hi Do you still have the car radio housing? If so, I would be interested to buy.

As promised recently here are some pictures of the car as it stands, nearly complete but with a few items to deal with still.

A load of investigation as to the source of the oil leak since the last posting. Most of the oil on the garage floor is coming from the sump plug, and I have purchased a new 'high tec' washer with a rubber seal to try and combat this. If that fails it will be out with the PTFE. The oil drips...

Hi Email sent. Thanks Bryan

The exhaust manifold on my 1.1, 1986 GTL has a broken lug and could do with replacing. Has anyone a spare that they can sell me?

Progress has been intermittent for the last month or so. The weather has oscillated between below freezing and warmer but damp, rendering the garage either far too cold for comfort, or streaming with condensation. It hasn't been a complete write off however, I have made some headway, and I am...

Sounds like something slipping at higher revs, could it be a drive belt?

Hi Do you have an exhaust manifold for an 1108 engine please? Bryan

There are a few specialist insurers who will insure on the basis of a chassis number or VIN. Have a look on Google.

Hi Phillippe Welcome to the world of the R4. If importing from the EU, then everything is fairly straightforward. You need to do the following, copied from the government website, the words within the brackets are my own. 1. How to import a vehicle You must complete certain steps as soon as...

Yes, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all. I hope to be on the road with my Renault not too far into the New Year.

Brakes now bled, but still some excess pedal travel, most of which disappears when the handbrake is pulled on, so I deduce that the rear self adjusters need some attention. It was part of the game plan to replace front pads and rear shoes if necessary, the logic being that bleeding would reveal...

Yes, they were quite expensive, but the old ones were in such a dirty and worn out state that I thought that it was worth it.

The standard GTL roof lining, on UK models at least, is a plastic moulding, which I left in place whilst I cut the roof aperture with a jigsaw, chopping through both at the same time. With the Twingo roof, you should also get the interior trims which clip into the edge section of the Twingo roof...

Not much you can really do. On a wet day you will have damp clothes etc, which will increase the moisture in the air. The 4 does not have any through flow, so the option of running a draught through the car to clear condensation is not available. You can get anti fog liquids which you spray or...

Here are the promised photographs of how things have progressed to date. The car is still on the hydraulic skates, wheels need painting. Mechanically, the handbrake has now been sorted and I am shortly going to bleed the brakes, for which I have acquired a vacuum bleeder. I have run the engine...

Getting closer now to the end of the bodywork phase and will shortly be into re-commissioning the mechanical parts of the car. Recent work includes the following: General wet sand and polish to paintwork. A few remedial bits and bobs. Adjusted the bonnet by shimming up the brackets and fitting...
