Oh yes me ansum, of course :laughing:

Hi, I just bought a pair of rather snazzy drilled and slotted brake discs for the GTL from De Marco Parts, and no problem with customs charges. So I can only assume De Marcos have nipped this in the bud. I'm very pleased with their service and the product.

Wheel bearings shouldn't be a problem Elwood. Remove the old bearings from the hub, large hammer and a punch should do it. You will see a number etched on the bearing. In your area you will probably have a company that supplies bearings and seals to engineering businesses and the like. They...

Well described Petak. I got the o rings and also the oil seals at a local company that supplies bearings and seals to engineering businesses and the like. All they needed were the old ones as a pattern.

I didn't think that for one moment David. It would be great if a group of us stalwarts from the UK can make it there this year. All the best Brian.

Ok Lobster, point taken, but a large gathering of Renault 4s in France is a no brainer isn't it? As for the distance, no problem if you have the time.

If you mean 4L International it's in July.

Well, after a break of four years the great news is that 4L International has returned. It has moved from the venue at Thenay, where all the previous festivals were held, to the Paul Ricard Formula 1 circuit in the South of France, not far from Marseilles.

This is good my R4 friends, we seem to have some interest going on here. It would be nice if we could swell the numbers with cars from outside Italy, and our Italian friends would love it. Ah, Pastis, one of the first things I buy at Super U. A lovely pre-dinner drink on the campsite.

When I did this trip back in May it took me three days to cross France, from Roscoff to Grenoble. The first two on D roads, but the third on toll roads, which was less tiring and enabled me to have a rest day before crossing into Italy. On my fourth day of travelling I arrived at the venue in...

Well done harbourseal, maybe we have the start of a convoy, as I hear from the organisers that three of us from the UK have registered also. This photo was taken at this year's event, with yours truly well in the mix in centre of picture.

Thinking about next year, and Italy is calling. Any of you road-trip fans up for this?

Hello folks, here's an update on attempting to adjust the rear tracking. So ok, the left side which I recently worked on is probably easy to adjust, but the right side outer bearing housing, which I think has never been replaced is a different matter. I managed to undo two of the three bolts...

Classics show today at Wadebridge Cornwall.

Well, I'm happy to report that Genevieve passed her MOT test yesterday with flying colours. Everything went back on fairly easily, although the arm did put up a bit of a fight, but once one bolt was in, it was plain sailing. I had the extra weight of the torsion bar to contend with as my garage...

Well done fella, Clementine looks fab. Good luck with the MOT, a big day for you both.

Hello harbourseal, thank you for your kind advice, but I've managed to avoid removing the whole axle, and the fuel tank. When I cut what was left of the old bearing housing off I lost it's position on the swinging arm, and it was going to be difficult to align the new one. Luckily my good friend...

Hi. I hope when you lifted the head you didn't inadvertently lift one or more of the liners also. To clamp the liners down you need some large washers or some other means to straddle the liners to hold them down when you turn the engine over. Good luck.

Hello Jim, long time no see, and good to hear from you. Yes and bad timing too, middle of car show season. Sods law I guess. It would be great to see you, so call me when you are down this way. My number is 07855996827 Regards Brian.
