Hello,
This is my first post on this forum so I will start with a little presentation.
I am French, living in Towcester and have a Renault 4 TL. I originally bought the car for the 4L Trophy but kept it afterward as I really love it.
The car was slightly prepared before the trophy (Rear suspension from a 4L van, silencer moved into the front wing, new dampers and increased ground clearance). This work was done by Renov 4L (http://www.renov4l21.fr, I recommend it if you are in France, he can also supply parts). The engine had to be changed after the trophy and use a GTL one (again by renov4L but I have to check to be sure).
I then came to the UK for study but bringing the 4L with me, 4 years ago now.
Unfortunately the car is sitting in my garage due to a problem with the engine: the coolant is going to the sump pan and mixing with the oil (not good). The head gasket has been changed so it shouldn't be the problem. I was told that it could be the gasket at the bottom of the liners.
Does anyone know a good garage near Towcester/MK to look after my lovely R4?
As I am leaving permanently in the UK, the car has to get British license plate, does anyone have some tips/advice to get the plate on my R4 (so I can put it back on the road!!!) ?
Thank you
Albain
