Tam & co the great winter escape

[Mikey RV]

I love Renault 4s so youll find lots of pics of them in my travel threads. I'll buy one at some point once the vario is finished .

You get them in great condition throughout europe ...lots of patina but usually solid ..

Me to, I like the van version.

Plenty Renault 4's round where I live in Spain, the old farmers seem to keep them going forever, also see the van version with the lift up panel above the rear door to allow carrying long loads. Will try and get some pictures sometime.

I wish I had now some of the cars I used to wash weekly on my car washing round with my mate, one was a Dauphine as above, plus the Sunbeam Alpines, even an Alvis. Trouble is it wasn't so much fine gravel at the bottom of the bucket when emptying....it was usualy paint flakes & rust.

Sod that the water is freezing

That sounds low to me but you think ice cubes are warm.

That can't be right otherwise he'd be swimming!

They're no longer cheap in the UK. This was sold in September (but it is a GTL).

Not the same, but similar - some had the same engine as the Dauphine. Edit -same floorplan and engines as Dauphine.

that does point to it running back? might well be the connection for the diesel heater underneath?

how is your sister now? Been meaning to ask but it keeps slipping my mind.

Sounds like a leakback problem , or common rail fuel pressure sensor , some diesels will have a start inhibit if pressure to high pressure pump is not sufficient to stop hp pump being damaged by lack of fuel (lubrication) . If you can plug in see what fuel pressure is pre start . Sorry dont know spec for iveco .
