May do things for the girl; the horse is not so sure... From my collection(posters not cars, or girls for that matter...)

We drive in snow a fair bit. The Quatrelle is certainly better than the Ami 8 which just doesn't have enough weight over the front wheels. I 'm a big fan of snow socks which are can be on in thirty seconds if I 'm swithering over the necessity of faffing about with chains. Good quality chains...

Ok, slightly left field here but what a thing of small delights is the machined metal cylinder that helps to hold the steering rack and pinion closely meshed Replaced with a utilitarian bit of plastic on later racks but this is NICE!

Random van on London's mean streets. To be fair perhaps it's luverly underneath....

Random daily driver in the "free parking" outside Perpignan Airport. Even in winter one sees any number running around....

Pyrenees Orientales! The view from the holiday place in Pembrokeshire is just as good but a tad salty for an R4 that has to live outside...

View from my garage this morning. Coco, for that is her name, is a 1977 TL that we've had since August 2011. Still one or two jobs to do on the list...but not today.

I'm with Adam Wilkes on the prolonged set up process for the Gunson but another plus for the Gunson is at a flick of the switch it gives a lovely big clear rpm readout and as it sits firmly on its own four feet in plain view I use it frequently for other fettling exercises. Mine came with...

That does help Andrew, I had to go into a darkened room to think about it..... But I think that now I have it. And my indicators work! David (bright sunshine in the Pyrenees but a nip of autumn in the air)

Hmm, I probably be gone by April but if you still have them next September then I'm interested as we often pass by Limoges.......but please don't wait on my account if you have a buying lined up in the interim. regards david

If you are still looking then melun Auto have a promotion on R4 hoses at the moment at https://www.melun-retro-passion.com/ It's on their opening page , left hand side. David

Well excellent help from you all and much appreciated. I've just come up for lunch from the garage having spent the morning dismantling and cleaning the Hazards switch having been encouraged by mojobaby's post 'Failed my roadworthy' back in july '14. And Lo! It now all works exactly as it...

Nice reg number by the way....

If Nicho eventualy decides against them do let me know when you are next down.....I'm in the P.O. but ONLY for the winter months but if our migratory paths cross they would be well handy . Three bolt wheels I take it? regards David

Well now but intermittant faults are a tad frustrating to nail down are they not. Big thanks to jjad of this parish for comming up trumps with the relevant wiring diagram. Sadly I've not been able to put a full shift today as the house roof has started to leak and a tempest's worth of rain is...

Good evening all, Car is an Oct 77 R4TL , lhd, (type 1126 with 839 engine) and I'm in the early stages of trying to trace why my indicators are becoming worryingly unreliable. Funny thing is the hazards do work with impressive relaibility and vigour. I only have the haynes manual for cars...

Mellissa speaks of (snipping) <<I'm getting mine on historic soon as she's jumped through this hoop! >>(snipped) but I've always regretted doing this on our Acadiane as it meant loosing the department specific registration plate with a pleasing array of sixes for one of the bland modern plates...

A narrow snow bound lane, an approaching 4x4 at speed. Who is going to tow who out of the ditch....

Had a Chinese copy carb on our Ami 8 for five or six years now. It's been a beaut. But it came via a reputable source, in this case ECAS, who set it up before dispatch and changed jets to suit.
