Hello.
My name is Haeryong NAM, Korean. My wife is Youngae.
My english is not good. Please understand my english. :-)
We started our 1 year wedding tour in Europe last year September from Paris.
We bought lovely Renault 4 (1985, GTL) in Paris.
And then we traveled from Paris to almost all Europe nations(more than 35 nations, even Moroco) with R4. :-)
It was 115000km when I bought my car in Paris. After that we droven 38000km so far. So now is about 153000km.
I want to drive my car for whole my life, if I can.
Because we loves R4. and it will be beautiful trip with R4 during for our whole life.
We have to come back to Korea after 10days from Paris.
Therefore I decided bring my car to Korea by ship from Hamburg, Germany.
If I birng my R4 to Korea, it will be the First Renault 4. (I saw a few 2CV, mini etc, but never ever about R4)
The problem is......
I really don`t about car, especially R4.
There is not any spare parts or pieces for R4 in Korea.
It`s really problem.
If I order the pieces from France to Korea, it will be so expensive to me. Delivery fee is huge.
So I want to buy many spare parts and pieces now.
I will send whole pieces with my car in container by ship.
Because I can save transportion cost at least. (there is many space(2*2.5*2.5m) in the container. I will use whole container.
Sir. Can you help me? I really need your help.
How can I prepare some parts for next some years or next 100000km?
1. My 4L is not good balanced. It`s out of the horizontal. Lest side is more taller(?) than right side. So left back tire are worn away just edge of inside. How can I repair this problem?
2. Lamp part is not good. Front samll lamp is totally not working. And also back break lamp is not work. I exchanged new lamps, but it doesn`t work. excahange whole part?
3. Broken down galss protector of front head lamp. How can I find this glass?
4. damaged a door. How can I repair? Can I find a door?
5. long crack on left side. How can I repair?
6. Broken down one piece on front plastic panel.
7. Renault mark on the wheel. one piece is missed.
8. Bolt for engine oil tank are damaged. How can I find?
9. Bolts for wheels are worn away. How can I find?
10. I need original supporter for parcels on the top. Can I find 4L original supporter?
11. I think impact absorber part is not good condition. Between tire and car body is very closed.
12. When I change gear, especially from 1 to 2, it`s not smooth.
13. and... Break pads and some parts which will worn away... I don't know what R4 needs..
14. Where can I buy subtitued lead for good price?
I really don't know what I need. Please teach to me.
Could you let me know about spare parts and pieces for future?
Of course I can not buy all things, But I want do my best as possible as I can.
And Do you know how can I find those parts and pieces(for resonable price) in France(Paris) or somewhere?
Cheap price is very important to me.
