my turn to ask questions now
was having quite a good day yesterday fixing matts (MGUEZ) F6 van
matt managed to get a brand new complete exhaust system from Renault
no problems
fitted MK2 R5 ducellier distributor
no problems
new speedo cable from renault
no problems
new headlamp
no problems
feeling keen i volunteered to fit a secondhand matrix matt had got from french scrap yard as had dash dismantled to fit s/cable
now all in bits in my workshop i have discovered that it is different
it says 1981 on the replacement and the mounting plate is metal and different to 1985 plastic type
assumming they changed design in 82/83 now what ?
has anybody got one as my initial phone calls have had no results (will try lifestyle Renault later on though but stock from france is not that quick arriving )
i have located a brand new one of the wrong type so may have to persuade it fit as looks similar if i fabricate a bracket maybe
