Hello All

I am rejoining you all with getting another Renault 19, I have bought a slightly damaged Renault 19 16v Cabriolet, will be requiring a lot of help from you all, lots of questions to ask.

Is there many people from around Newcastle Upon Tyne on here???

Will post some pics up of the car soon and keep you up to date with the progress.

This website is great full of loads of useful stuff

Damage was just bumper, wing, grille, headlamp and indicator. Also some of the interior panels were bent, nice and straight now, well as stright as a hammer can make them

Have been really lucky, got all the parts in the same colour that was needed, only problem being, not a 16v bumper, just a normal one, but will get me on the road for now.

The front end has been rebuilt now, need to start on the brakes, as has been sat for a while, and the brakes have seized, and the ABS light has come on

Will be looking for some colour coded wing mirrors, electric ones, the same colour

welcome. looks good.
what ABS you got, my car was sat for 18months before i rescued it. got the bendix system. all it needed was the brakes bleeding which was good. As they didnt work as they should

Got no idea on the brakes. How do you tell which system it has?

I'm from York, was tempted by that cabby myself but as with anything I never got to the stage of putting my hand in my pocket!

Good luck with it tho and welcome!
