Hi all, its workers day i decided to fix door lock which l got from that scrapper Renault 4, I succeded to fix it without a help of mechanics, here are pictures....

Here are some of pic of job which l do today.

I think that those chrome bumpers would look nice on your car

 

[Ndelilio Nnko]

Jambo mojobaby! Thanks for your advice, let m take them and fit them and see which one will make my R4 to look like range rover sport uhhhhhhhh

What a catch!

I believe that on scraped R4 there is a lot of parts that can be still useful.

What kind of windows do you have on your R4?

Scraped one have windows whit hole for opening handle and they are much better solution than one without hole!

 

[Ndelilio Nnko]

Its true! Those window are good, they have window lock, window handle. The problem they get rust to much While mine are plastic all around the window also it will cost me paint and welding them that is why I did not take them!

In that scaped R4 I got speedo meter. I tested with speed meter cable it work!! I spend some hours fix my self. Before mechanics aprove my work!

 

[Ndelilio Nnko]

I remove the dashboard

 

[Ndelilio Nnko]

I take that speedo meter out of its place and compare it with that speedo meter from scraped R4

 

[Ndelilio Nnko]

If you look closely, you will notice that speedo meter from scraped one don't have signs of indicator. Oil,hazard, bims, temperature... But my speedo meter show it, do I remove the glass which show those signs and put in that scraped one..

 

[Ndelilio Nnko]

I check speedo meter cable from gear box and find its fit well, so I pull out speedo meter cable from the dashboard so that I can fix speedo meter

 

[Ndelilio Nnko]

I start fix wires of light,oil,indicators, hazard, then I return dashboard to its place

 

[Ndelilio Nnko]

Work is finished..

 

[Ndelilio Nnko]

I notice my speedo meter read 091560... While the new speedo meter which I put read 82407. I don't know if it will create a problem!!

You do not need to take whole window. YOu can just take one glass with handle. One that you are opening.

Also if you remove whole windows from scraped car you can replace only glasses and put them into your plastic frames. glasses will fit your plastic frame.

I have the same combination on my R4. Plastic frames and glasses from TL model (with holes).

Only thing that could happened is that you need to pull rear window glass little harder.
Rear glass from TL model is 2-3 mm taller than one form GTL model.
I do not have tat problem.

 

[Ndelilio Nnko]

Thanks petal, let m go and search those window, it will help me, I get hard time when open those windows they don't have handles...

Old spedometer was up to 140 km/h, the new one (that is older in age) arrives to 130 km/h... changing glass and writes gives you an error reading your speed... Every silver vertical stripe is about 10 km/h.

This week end l notice there is a leak in a fuel pipe
