Hi everyone,
and good to see a few more contributors to the forum!
Having had my mind put to rest concerning the lead Replacement Petrol issue and with Sunday creeping ever nearer, (the day when I go to check out my potential Renault 4 purchase...), there's some more advice I could do with from wise sages such as yourselves!!
Predictably, I need help where the chassis is concerned. I've done all the research I can, and I know where to look for rust, etc. However, how will I REALLY know if the floor-pans are OK and the rear-suspension mounts etc are OK???? Should I panic and run a mile if I see any hint of rust in these areas??
I'm asking now, because I've just read about the red R4 featured on this website, (sorry, I've forgotten her name!!), and the fact that the chap who bought it initially was duped by the dealer as regards the condition of the rear suspension area. If that guy, who's a mechanic as far as I understand, can be tricked, what chance have I got??!!!!!!!!!
Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated....
Thanks, and here's hoping that by this time next week,
I'll be pottering about in my own Renault 4...!!
