It might not be the boot thats the problem Malcolm. Some aftermarket suspension knuckle joints are too long, so reducing the gap between bottom suspension arm and drive-shaft. The Delphi product is a case in point, some 4mm longer than the original part, so when the car is jacked up you cannot...

Yes, just where my car falls, too old for a sticker, but not old enough for exemption. Bloody bureaucracy :doh:

I fitted my fog lights in the same fashion, and I often use them as running/marker lights, so I can be seen in the hubbub of modern traffic.

Hi Sprackers, I recently tried to apply for a Crit Air sticker, but when I entered the year of registration, (1985), I was told my car was too old to have one. So I just need to avoid the cities, which is fine by me. Be aware, there are some fake sites out there that will rip you off. I speak...

Hi all. Unfortunately the promised big R4 event in France this year as you probably know didnt happen, but there is a chance it will be on next year, so watch this space. However there is much R4 activity in Italy, so, who on here is making their way there in September? Kind regards Bry.

It was lovely to have your company Robert, and my pleasure to show you around this beautiful part of the UK. I look forward to the next time we meet up, in Italy maybe. In the meantime enjoy your super camper. Kind regards Bry.

Mmm, very tempting Reid, thank you, but not this year as Italy is calling again. Yes it's nice to get together with the R4 fraternity and have some good times. Regards Bry.

Yes it was fun Jonothan, but probably too short a notice for most folk, even ones within a few hours driving I suppose. Bit of a hike for you from your place, so I completely understand, especially if you've got stuff on. Glad to hear you've got your 4 all ready for some summer motoring, any...

It was great to meet up with you and Sash Jim, and spend some time with you both. Glad we were able to improve your cars running. Earlier in the week folks we had driven up to Devon to visit Derek Flavell of Renospeed and his partner Nijole for a fish n chip lunch, and we were joined by a good...

Hi Sage, I agree with Malcolm, it doesn't look too bad really, and if you start poking it, it could open up a real can of worms. So, as our leader suggested give it a good spray with oil, 50x50 engine oil and cavity wax works well, and take it from there. At least you can use the car and come...

Hello blakeyboy. Check out Vagabund in Projects section posted by Harbourseal. All the info about the build is there.

My good friend Harbourseal is taking his newly finished F6 camper on a shakedown trip to the west of England in June. He arrives in the UK on 12th June, and is heading to Cornwall. He's over for a week and I just wondered if any R4 owners down this way, Devon and Cornwall, fancied getting...

Is anyone interested in attending this event organised by the gang at Registro Storico R4? I'm hoping to go on the way to the Italian R4 festival a week later.

Blimey Harry, Easter uni break still on in late May. What an easy life you have:laughing:

Hi Reid, how exciting, a place in le Belle France, great thing to do, and I wish you happy times in your holiday abode, or is it full time? Can I visit please? In the meantime, plenty of time to think about an Italian trip, so yes, let me know if you are keen on a Tuscan adventure, and that of...

Hi Reid, so, how about a road trip to Italy in September, R4 Festival. I went last year, it was brilliant. Care to join me? Regards Brian.

With a prompt from Reid in Norway talking of his wish to go to this event, and apologies from me for not posting this sooner, this event is not happening this year. However the organisers are planning on putting on a R4 International meeting next year, so, watch this space, and here's hoping it...

Hello Reid. Very sorry to have to tell you, but the organisers of this event have had to pull the proverbial plug this year, so it's not going ahead for whatever reason. However they are hoping to put it on next year, so here's hoping, but I'm not holding my breath in anticipation. All the...
