Renault 4 English Manual

I've been trying to find an English manual for the Renault 4L but I haven't had much luck. Does anyone have access to one that can share?

Hi Joao
These manuals are on eBay:

Your car's a 1978 R1123, isn't it?

It's a '79 R1123. Which one of those books do you think it's best?

They're both good, but in different ways. The Haynes manual is much more hands-on, with lots of photos, whereas the Autobooks manual has no photos - it has plenty of line drawings and exploded views, though. The main body of both refers to earlier TLs; the Haynes manual (61-79 edition) has an extra chapter detailing the changes made to later models. If yours is a Portuguese model, its specifications may be different, but I'm sure either manual would be useful. If you're just going to get one, I'd recommend the Haynes.
I've found an English handbook from 1978, which might be interesting. If you need any information from it, send me your email address via the 'Conversations' system.
