Hi all. My car has the hammock type seats, suspended on bent wires from tubular frames, which you can see in lots of pics of the earlier R4's The back seat does not fold, and the front is another bench seat except that the front one is on runner for leg adjustability. However the rubber web...

Hi all. I am looking for 4 tyres for my 1972 R4. The book says 135x70x13. However these are not currently being made, and the suggested alternative is a 145x70x13. There are several types available from £55 upwards inc tube and fitting. However I recall reading somewhere that there may be an...

Hi Andre. Thank you for the offer. At the moment the tyres are not MOT worthy, they are very old and cracked. I have an A frame myself, which works well, but wouldn't use it on the car without a new set of tyres.

A few years ago, my wife and I were driving down M42 and had just joined the M40 heading south when we saw a black panther standing on the side of the motorway. Clearly visible, J tail, size of a small sheep. Unmistakeable. Later we called the police and they have a wild animal unit that tracks...

Can anyone recommend a car transportation company, efficient, reliable and good price ? Trying to see what alternatives there are to hiring a trailer and towing the car there myself. From the midlands to Sussex

Hi all. Got Ronnie the Renault running again with a new battery. Problem was the charger I had borrowed saying it’s full when it obviously was not. Thanks for your help. However another issue arose yesterday. Driving along, and on half throttle it started to get a misfire. It went by driving...

Thanks Malcolm.

I did the metal bar trick and no change. I just am surprised that a battery can go while it is working. Never had that before. Plenty of returning to the car to find it won’t go because the battery has given up, but not where while it is turning it dies. Also the battery charger was saying the...

Hi Malcolm. I had started to think that as well so today o bought a battery which I will fit tomorrow and we will see.

Hi. I am in France and went to pick up Ronnie the Renault from the garage he stays in. I turned the key to start him and the starter was slow and then stopped. Wouldn’t turn again, but the dash light dimmed as I turned the key. I have checked the battery and it’s perfect and fully charged. I...

Hi . Dont know where you are, but Hadens in Walsall Wood, between Walsall and Lichfield are very good auto upholsterers and have been recommended to me several times by people who have used them. They should be able to repair what you showed. A pal with a new Audi with leather, was invaded by...

I have ordered seat covers from Fransoze and they were very good.

The rear of my 1985 basic R4L has a distorted hatch and despite everything I do, sometimes it very annoyingly squeaks as you drive along. So I am looking for a non bent or dented or distorted rear hatch to replace it with. If its got hinges thats better, but not essential. No reversing lights if...

Hi Peter. Interested in a non dented 1985 1123 model hatch if you have one. I have a dented one that does not fit the opening properly, so one that is true is what I am after, preferably not rusty. Happy to paint and add rubbers. I have the lock ,number plate light and handle. Dont want one with...
