Joined today. We bought a 1990 R4TL Savane to leave at our place in France. Originally saw it on ebay and did a deal with the English guy who owned it when it failed to meet reserve ( we paid 900 euros). The car is called MOLLY .It was still a long way from our place though and we took a slow drive back as it had not been serviced for a while. No problems at all on the journey.It came with 2 years CT ( french MOT) with only a couple of advisories. Can I ask please if anyone has a front seat ( just the frame and webbing, the cover is OK on ours). We live in Birmingham if that helps but the car is in Gers ( Dept 32 ) France. As expected, there are loads of R4's in France and they have an excellent reputation. Have yet to find a French scrap yard near where we are in France but will go looking in earnest now we have a car.. Also need the little three pointed screw fixing for the bracket to secure the rear seat and reversing light lens. The seal on the rear hatch is worn, does anyone know if they are still available. ( my UK Renault dealer is not very sympathetic ! ). Are the wheel bearings adjustable as it looks like some movement is present on both front wheels. Excellent site, we used info from it to check out the car before we purchased it.Sally and Ed Davis
