I had a post-'85 Renault 5 for which several years ago the headlamp I've just found in my garage was bought for in error. If someone in-the-know can confirm that the one I have is for a pre-'85 Renault 5 I'd be very grateful.

I felt the same way about it myself until I went to the website. They have some pretty convincing news video reports from USA. One in particular (Fox News) was quite interesting, it featured the Colarado Police actually testing it under there own conditions and quite openly proclaiming that their cameras could not pick up the plate registration after the spray was used. Who knows, but I always...

I believe that the heater fan on a Mk3 Capri packing in is quite a common problem, so before I pull the dash apart perhaps someone can suggest a likely cause / first place to check? I have made sure that the connectors in the back of the switch on the dash are connected properly and the fuse is ok. It stopped working during the summer while on full blast during a football match traffic jam and...

Need to make some king pins for a pre war car, simple 5/8" dia x 4" length with an oil groove. A hardness test on the old pin shows 598 Rock. Im told that 'silver steel' is not sutable for king pins.
