Hi folks, I've been using the car quite a bit through the winter, it's been very mild weather wise, so minimal salt on the roads. Also I've never been one for laying up cars over the winter months, but then, I don't live in the North. One job I have done recently is replace the brake master...

Hi folks, well I've booked the ferry, ( Plymouth-Roscoff), so is there anyone out there fancy joining me on this road-trip, or maybe meeting up en-route? Come on, there must be some other brave/mad souls out there surely.

Yes indeed you did, and you never know, maybe one day you will return to the fold. Cheers Brian :)

Hello Tom, trust you and your family are well. Very sorry to read the old Pencil car has come to this sad end, but great if you can pass some parts on to other R4 owners to keep their cars on the road. You had a lot of fun with the car, and of course you completed the 4L Trophy adventure to...

Can we speak in English please, we don't all understand Japanese :laughing:

Hello there Steve, I'm a bit down the road from you, I live in Falmouth. It's hoped we can get some of us together this year who live down this way, so maybe we will meet up sometime.

The Simply French day this year at Beaulieu is planned for the 17th of July. All French cars are welcome, and this year it's the 50th birthday of the Renault 5. If you book your entry ticket by the 31st of March you get a discount. Go to Events at Beaulieu.co.uk and click on Simply French.

Nothing as big as this, but in July I think the ROC are again going to be at Tilford in Surrey, and in September the Simply French event will be at Beaulieu. I'll post the dates up when they become available.

This is a great show, organised by the lovely Dutch. Always a warm welcome.

Hello Michael, I think the cars that had them originally had reinforcing plates and studs fitted, but when I fitted them on my car I drilled holes and bolted through with thick penny washers behind. There is a right-angle bracket that goes to the bumper-bolt, at the other end, and a thick...

Does anyone fancy a trip to Germany in July?

Not to worry Keith, you didn't miss much. Mostly Clios with huge exhausts. Met up with a friend in his F6, so we tried to fly the flag for the marque.

Looking forward to meeting up Keith. Nice if we have a few 4s turn up.

Hello Malcolm, there might be a gathering a bit further west this year, in Devon and Cornwall. I've chatted with Derek Flavell about it, and we were thinking maybe July would be good, and The Eden Project as a venue. Perhaps forum members who are interested in meeting up could put forward their...

All booked Keith, yes Exeter services sounds good. I was thinking around 8:30 to 9:00. Regards Brian.

Hello Keith, thank you for the info, I might join you. I'll let you know. Regards Brian.

Hi Martin and Emily, welcome to the forum and R4 ownership. I'll keep an eye out when I'm in the PZ area for your beautiful car, great colour. Do you know of Andrew Mcgraa of AMG Renault in Crowlas, our local R4 expert? Regards Brian.

Hello Alfonso, I think that pump is the same as yours, it's just been photographed upside down. Also I believe it's for a Renault 5 which would have had a fuel return line, which is what the third pipe is for. You can blank it off, as it's not needed. Regarding a fuel filter, Renault often...

Hello folks. It's been a year since I did the gear linkage mod, and I'm happy to report it's worked well, and seems fool-proof. The car has been used quite a bit, a run to Beaulieu and also Tilford, so a good test, plus every-day usage. I've been tinkering a bit, but nothing too taxing, but one...

I use Castrol XL20/50 Richard, but any good quality mineral 20/50 will do the job. I have made a habit of changing the oil and filter at around 3000 miles on all my cars over the years.
