Sorry, I meant Africa, of course!

Advice Make sure the cooling system is *really* up to scratch. We did a 12,000Km round trip of Europe one summer in a GTL and the main problem was despite never overheating in the UK, it perpetually did so in France, Spain, Italy etc. Turned out the problem was the radiator fins were clagged...

anti roll bar bushes I also had trouble with finding the old style antiroll bar bushes, and also I found my car (late 1967 English spec, 4 speed gearbox, but still 7 degree castor angle and old front suspension) had a very spindly antiroll bar, so going around corners/fast roundabouts was a bit...

Thanks Malcolm, I really appreciate you posting the picture. It is a bit plasticky, but its grown on me. I like it 'cos it matches the old sunvisors.

Alright, I'm getting obsessed...... Don't know if this is the right place to put this, but here is a link to a great little thread on a french site, showing the type of headlining I'm banging on about-...

No Worries Thanks Anyway Ian. Anyone else out there know anything about the old headlining material? I've got the Renault part number for the cloth if thats any help.

Hold on a minute? Ian, Is this the off-white diamond embossed vinyl cloth/fabric type with metal stretcher bars you are talking about or the semi-rigid plastic one piece thing that went in GTLs (which I'm not interested in)? Its actually the cloth type I'm after and I dont need the bars, just...

More like purgatory if you're a 4! Where is this place? I think I know where I', going on holiday next!

The crossed wipers make it look like Scooby-doo putting his paws over his eyes!

Alright, I'm biting............. What do you call £ xxx????? I've posted a set of tyres and a pair of driveshafts back from France before, so I'm not frightened yet......... lay it on me and see what happens.

R4 rear shocks Melun Retro Passion in France (on interweb) do de Carbon shocks. Best time to buy is before August/September and not just after because their stock usually gets cleared out by the locals spending the summer holiday preparing their cars for raids. I put a pair on 2 yrs ago and...

Anyone know where you can get the old diamond embossed pattern headlining material used on earlier R4s? Was it used on any other cars?

Angel have you got a photo of that? Do you mean a point for a remote filter? Where does the return line go???

Freddy, the early idler gear MAY be the same as that on the dauphine and 750. I say MAY because being a skew gear they might have changed the direction of skew when they changed the engine direction. If they didn't change skew direction it should be identical. French Connection in Airport West...

Renault 12/Virage wheels should fit- in fact were supplied in some markets
