I reckon that you can see this site on Google Earth - the clue is on uTube. I could do with a pair of headlights.

Thanks, Malcolm. I'll give it a try - I like to track my cars' consumptions so a working odometer is nearly a must - but not if it means a new unit.

Thanks. I won't worry about it then.

My R4's speedo works but not the odometer. Any suggestions? Repairable or down to a new instrument unit? Is this an MOT criterion?

Now garaged, jacked up, and wheels off and finger of suspicion is pointed firmly at shock absorbers - there is a little movement in the suspension arms but the shocks are visibly in very poor condition. It'll be a while before the new ones are fitted - lots of surface rust to tackle first, and...

Thanks, all, for input. Looks like I'll need to jack it up, get the wheels off, and then see what can be leveraged or not as the case may be.

Not the right answer! I should have perhaps explained that the car is a runner, though not in an MOT-able condition. The brakes work, including the handbrake. I had assumed that the pivots for the rear suspension arms had seized through lack of movement. It only gets out as far as the end...

Check your local Renault dealer - I got a front outer wing from Arnold Clark in Grangemouth for £44.93. It needed to be ordered and I had to pay up front but it arrived within a couple of days. The R4 is still supported by Renault.

Best offer yet! Thanks. I also need an interior light.:)

Can anyone suggest a source for these catches? 3 of mine are missing. Also what about the window channels? Still available? It occurred to me that Land Rover might be a possible source! :shock:
