Hi Thank you both for your replies. Therefore, it is routed correctly under the gaiter. I notice when I turn the steering wheel full left and right lock, the handbrake cable moves a lot under the gaiter and I guess this is what is causing the rubbing and tearing the gaiter. There really is no...

Hi All I have a LHD R4F4 with handbrake on the front wheels. The Off Side Handbrake Cable is fouling the Near Side steering rack gaiter, rubbing against the underside and tearing the gaiter open (two steering rack gaiters in 6 months). The handbrake cable runs along the top of the front...

Hi Renault Mac Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately, there isn't a one stop shop to buy all your R4 parts from in the UK. It is a case of sourcing them as and where you can. If you could provide us with some basic info about your R4, one or more of the members on the forum should be able to...

Hi Malcolm Thanks for the advice.

Thanks

Hi All I was wondering if anyone can advise me as to whether a three bolt hole long starter motor on a gtl is interchangeable with a three bolt hole short starter motor on a gtl. As it would make life far easier in terms of removal/fitting on a Left Hand Drive! Any info would be gratefully...

Hi Jurjenz Thanks for your reply. I have not done the job yet. One forum member has advised that I should swap over the race to the original.

Hi There are quite a few whites and more than one off white. There is a list of paint codes on this forum. In addition, the one on Garage de Sylvie is quite detailed with the years certain paint codes were used. Do a search online for: Garage de Sylvie Renault 4 nuancier. The original paint...

Hi The engine set up is that of a gtl. The interior is as expected of a gtl.

Hi If you take a picture of the engine bay and post it on this website. The tl and gtl engines are quite distinct, we can then work out what you have.

Hi Angel Thank you for the advice it is much appreciated. I thought this might be the case. I have only ever fitted tapered wheel bearings and I had a feeling the same rule would apply. ie.The race needs to match the bearing. Best Wishes

Hi All I would be grateful of advice regarding the gearbox differential end cap. I removed the end cap to change the oil seal and 'O' ring due to an oil leak. The end cap was pretty well seized on and I managed to damage some of the teeth in the removal process. I have sourced a used...

Hi Jurjenz I had the same problem with a seized differential bearing cap. I managed to get it off but did some damage to the cap in the process. I have a spare used differential cap which I would like to use as a replacement. I was just wondering when you fitted your replacement, did you take...

Hi Thanks for the reply and advice.

Hi All I was wondering if anyone on the forum could advise me as to what might be the cause of a small fuel leak on a Zenith 281F carburettor. The leak is localised to the top casing of the carburettor within the confines of the 'bell' shaped component sector. I am assuming it is passing up...

Hi The R4GTL (1108cc) engine and the R5TL engine (mark I,not new shape R5) will fit. In addition, you will need the cross member which straddles both inner wings from a 4gtl, the battery plate from a 4gtl, the engine mountings from a 4gtl and their mounting plates which bolt to the chassis, a...

Hi Malcolm, Andrew and Grenuj Your combined knowledge helped me resolve the issue. Many Thanks

Hi Malcolm Thank you for your reply. It is the idle speed I have tried to adjust on the stop for the cam by the accelerator cable but there is no increase or decrease in rpm when I do so.

Hi All I have an R4gtl with a Zenith 281f carburettor. The rpm is ticking over at 740 rpm which is ok. However, if I screw the idle screw in or out, nothing happens. No increase or decrease in rpm. Any pearls of wisdom as to why this might be would be gratefully received. Best Wishes

Hi Edwin There were quite a few different types of driveshaft fitted to the R4s throughout 1960s to the mid 1970s, some of them interchangeable. Therefore, it is quite possible you have one type fitted on one side and another type on the other side. If you have a look at pages 128-129 of the...
