    Renault 7

    Thanks for your reply, and apologies for the lateness of mine! It's a lovely car to drive, and with us having the climate that we do over here, it means that many cars that went to the scrapyard many years ago in the UK are still in daily use over here to this day!

    Renault 7

    I bought a Renault 1980 7 some 18 months ago with just 15,000 kms on the clock, and just one lady owner from new, and although my everyday driver (a 1990 R4Clan) has been pictured a lot, I though I might post a picture of it on here. Whilst it is a 7 and not a 5, I thought that it would be...

    R4 or 6 Parts

    Thanks a lot for your replies, folks. I am going to do this over the weekend. I have been having a mooch around on the forums over here in Spain as well,and I may have found a couple of places that sell bits for sixes at reasonable prices. I will be getting in contact with them over the next few...

    R4 or 6 Parts

    Hi All, I have just bought a 1980 R6 that has been fitted with the later 1108 cc motor. All is pretty good with the car, other than a bit of surface rust, and the fact that the bar or tube that supports the pedals is worn, and every time that you press the clutch, the brake light comes on. I...

    Scuttle Grille.

    First off, sorry for my very late thanks to your very helpful replies! I am working in the airport at the moment, and with it being the middle of high season, I am working a lot! Thanks again, especially for the link. The rust isnt really bad at the moment, cos the climate over here is not as...

    Scuttle Grille.

    I have a good deal of rust on the scuttle (the panel between where the bonnet sits and the bottom of the windscreen). I have removed the four screws that hold the plastic grille in place, but the thing will not budge. Is there something that I am overlooking here, or must I remove the dash? It...

    Gear box filler plug stuck- is this a silly solution

    When I was in Switzerland, my 4 was dripping a bit of oil (which turned out to be a weeping rocker gasket), but a mechanic thought that it could have been the gearbox drain plug, so he tightened it right up. I now have to do gearbox refills by removing the top plate of the box....

    Hola!

    Sarah, I have had a look at the old reciept for the clutch that I bought in August 206. It was €151, but due to the fact that the parts place was havin a clearout on 4l stuff, I got 45% discount. And I have spoken to my mechanic, and he told me that 7 hours is not out of the question. €500 is a...

    Hola!

    I will have a look at a couple of spares places tomorrow and get back on prices. If I remember rightly, I paid about 60€ for the complete kit a couple of yrs ago, but they were on special offer at the time as the parts place was having a clearout! Remember that the beauty of these cars is their...

    Hola!

    If you are buying the parts from Dibauto on the Poligono Son Castelló, then the price may be partially justified, but most of the independent garages on the island buy their bits from Bosch and Lozano,or from Cardona. However, even if he is using genuine Renault bits, either his hourly rate is...

    keeps cutting out !

    Have a look at the fuel filter. I had exactly the same problems when I was in Switzerland. After they had taken the carb off at the garage, put it together wrong, another garage told me that the original garage has made a right mess of the original carb, and it needed a new one. Total cost was...

    I had a chat with the garage in LLuchmajor the other day, and they say that a lot of spares are still available from Cardona on the Poligono Son Castelló.

    misfire under hard breaking

    The car has been sorted. I have put this post on so that if anybody else has similar problems, this may help them sort it, and it is only fair to let the people who answered my post know what the problem was. On my 1990 Clan, there were two diaphragm operated thingies, one black and one white...

    Galgo calling from Portugal!

    Boa Vinda ao Galgo! You will find a lot of serious people on here who know a lot about these cars, so if you have any doubts, ask! And if you have any problems explaining, send me a PM. I don't speak Portuguese, but my Spanish is good!

    Hola!

    I live in LLuchmajor, and there seems to be a garage in the village that always has old stuff outside, including a couple of 6s. I will have to pass by in the New Year, as there is a sort of spring thingy under the clutch pedal that has snapped, and Renault cannot source this part any longer. If...
