Yet another thing needed.
Have noticed that the cross member that the radiator sits on is very badly corroded beyond repair.
Does anybody know the Renault part no?
Had a look on Dialogys and couldn't see it.
Thanks |

Just found out that this is part of the subframe and can't be bought seperately. Replacement subframe is 240 odd quid from Renault!!!!
Beever Auto Panels do a pattern part for 85 quid. |

You can't just cut this part out and fashon one up from some sheet metal? |

It's not as bad as I first thought, mainly surface. Needs cleaning up thoroughly, a shed load of Kurust and hammeriting.
It's pretty rusty as the radiator had a small leak when I bought the car and the previous owner didn't bother to replace it. Was the first job I did. |

use loads of underbody sealent on it after treating the rust,that would protect it from water and crap for a good while |
