OK, thanks for pointing out the difference ..I'll order some now and use My UB externally 👍

Thanks for the replies ..what I've got is dynax UB and hydrate 80 ..so I'll take off the skirts , check them then treat the internal rust ...there's only so much you can do to it I suppose ..1 thing is certain on these models is rust on the sills 🥴

After a few yrs off the road but mainly kept under a canopy/ car port I thought I'd remove my rear door cars and check to see the rear sills ..The car underneath ( around 2018 ) was complimented by the now shut down Renault specialist "Birchdown" .as being one of the cleanest and solid Ph1...

Bought an original jack set off Ebay as it didn't have one ..an original Radio/cd to replace a Bluetooth radio player that was in it ..( I've got loads of cd's so the original will be more use to me than a Bluetooth player ) , replaced the Drivers side lock to one that actually works ( 2...

A trip to the local Old school garage followed where they welded on a nut and with the aid of heat managed to remove it and fit the strut ..at least they are original cup dampers now ..(and a pair )...as they were a mismatch of gawd knows what make ..It has original marked Cup springs of which...

When I bought it the airbag light was on , with the explanation that its prob the wiring under the seat as is usually the case ..it turns out its the nearside impact crash sensor ...Ordered one off Renparts for 25 quid ..sorted ...so , come to change the rear suspension ..the Bolts and beam...

Good choice , , looking forward to seeing progress on this .

A lot of people did iirc ..

Don't know why pics aren't posting 😕..its been a long day 😁

Got these today , better condition than I thought too ..people are now realising , as the values of the cup rise, that they want the original interior fitted ..not long ago they were being binned due to no one wanting them ...quite a few people are looking for it now ( got door cards too ) 😃
