    R5 TX Value?

    Hi Malcolm I’ll be really interested to see what you sell the TX for. I’m thinking of selling my MK 1 GTL. She is a lovely original car, but I just don’t use her enough. Haven’t a clue what she is worth. Lower than yours, as she is not as exotic. Good luck! Chris p.s. I still have your old...

    Mildred

    Hi all After two years of hardly any use, I’ve finally got Mildred back out. She had a gearbox leak, but new diff seals have sorted that. It’s lovely to properly enjoy her again. She is such a happy little car, and a joy to drive :laughing:

    1972 R4 1126 type

    Hi Edwin My 1972 car has no filter too. I was advised by Simon (Renault Reborn) to leave it as it is. I make sure I change the oil at short intervals, as I want to preserve her original engine for as long as possible

    Hi there. If it’s the one where first gear is backwards and you still have it, I’m definitely interested! Mildred’s gearbox has been leaking a lot this past year :(

    That is my R4! She is called Mildred. I’m out of the country at the moment. My other half took her along to the festival. Nice Van ;-)

    no oil filter.?

    I was advised by Simon (Renault Reborn) not to convert mine to a filter. He reckoned it would mess with the pressure as intended by the factory and just recommended that I change the oil very frequently. As my usage and mileage is low, I didn’t mind doing that. The cost is low

    no oil filter.?

    My 1972 car doesn’t have a filter either. I have left it that way and just make sure I change the oil very regularly.

    Got myself a 5!

    Pictures please!!! Mk 1 5's are sought after now and very rare. I had one as my first car, followed by a Le Car 2 (like yours). I now have an 81 5 GTL. There is nothing quite like a mk 1

    She puts a smile on people's faces.

    I have a gorgeous 70's 2CV, a Mk 1 R5 and Mildred the Renault 4. Mildred gets by far the most attention and affectionate comments wherever we go. R4's are very special cars. Hopefully your wife and son will come to realise that soon!

    Help! - Mixture screw for Zenith 32IF7 Carb

    Thanks for the advice :) Apologies for not replying before. I have a replacement carb on the way (second hand, but complete). Tried a few sources for NOS replacement screws, but not were right. Hopefully this will sort it out. Fingers crossed...!

    Has anyone spotted this early GTL on eBay?

    I saw this online a while back as a barn find. Seller was looking for a loving owner at the time... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252476099081 Looks like it has had a coat of paint and a good clean. Not sure what else. I would love a GTL!
