Iām talking about 1970s vintage Renaults. Try to change a clutch on my mates Renault 12 should have taken 2 1/2 hour took 2 1/2 days. Everything you try to do involving a spanner or socket needs a set of hand/wrist/arm joints not available to normal humansā¦fuckinā nightmare. The simple extraction of a Spark Plug on SiLās Renault 5 took no more than 2 minutes to know it was bound for the Main Dealerās workshop the next day. It was located under the front bulkhead.

Sorry the VW.
You see since my ennoblement myself and Lady Slowlane have had to give up campervans, we have higher standards that go with our elevated position in society. We are now doing Shooting Brakes and Guest Houses. 
That is the ID.Buzzā¦

Didnāt the early Renault 5s have an inline engine?
Long way from Scotland to Fawleyā¦
My dadās first car was a Renault 5, he was 30 when he brought it (I was 5), and it had the gear stick in the dashboardā¦
IIRC the 5 lasted a good few years as well, until he upgraded to a Renault 30 because of his kids growing up and needing a bigger car.
You see my dad has always had Renaults as well, we only ever had a problem with a Renault 30 that had cruise control and all the mod cons, I think the cruise control and power steering went on it once. He never bothered getting the cruise control fixed but the power steering was a mustā¦
About 30 yearsā¦
Itās a pig to park there - lots of old blokes trying to make a silk purse from a sowās ear.
