TataBobu Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 The regular issue with the sender was this: the floating barrel that moves the potentiometer cracks and fills up with some petrol. The low fuel amber light is separate, and you can trust that one to perform even if the level sender is not true. For maximum originality you should search for OEM sparkplugs: the elusive Sinterom 14NP21. egg, Scruffy Bodger, chodweaver and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dozeydustman Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I'm yet to catch up with the videos of this, as Mrs D has had some wine this evening and will probably sod off to bed shortly, I'll load this up on the living room TV.Dacia Denem estate is much approved of.

vaughant Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Those are long gone, I'm afraid. The last one I've seen turning a wheel was more than an year ago.Shame but not totally unexpected. The estate purchased looks so much more exotic though !!!!!

nigel bickle Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Which way are you intending to come back? Â Through Hungary, Serbia or Ukraine? Â And how long do you think it will take you? Â Â I agree with Skizzer, buy a fuel can ( or find an old plastic 5 litre ) & put a 1/2 gall in it - just for peace of mind. I'd add a further plastic 5 litre of water too, and perhaps a small can of oil in case it's a burner. For insurance I'd add a small brake fluid, just as a safety measure. Â You want to get it back in good nick, (not borked, on a low loader) and right now you've no way of knowing if it's a leaker or burner. Easier to get stuff now, than out in the boonies ( & there are plenty before you get back!) Â Bon voyage... chodweaver, eddyramrod, drum and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Revcounter, but no boot struts. Decadent misery.  Love the look though, the "Five Quid Facelift" of a plastic grille halfway through it's 140 year production run.

Craig the Princess Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Beware the Ukrainian border, we spent hours (over 4) trying to get into Ukraine from Romania. But it is extremely beautiful. Also watch out for being pulled over by Herr Fuzz about 2 miles into Germany. Bonus points if you get the same 70s porn star policeman we had.

Noel Tidybeard Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 no boot strots on a renner 12 but that hinged stay on the left side has got an spring in it to assist with boot liftings and you can tell mr beard2 that it doesnt need releasing like a british leyland bonnet stay like we say him trinying to attempt in the vid must say there is some "project drive" evident on this motah our 1972 renner 12 estate had an opening glove box whereas yours doesnt   p.s have you found the "secret" hidey hole under the boot floor yet?

dollywobbler Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I wanted a 1325! Very rare. Haven't seen one yet. We are aiming to reach Serbia today, then Bosnia, Croatia and Slovenia. I think. We are avoiding Germany. We won't have mobile coverage in Serbia or Bosnia, so you may not hear much from us until Croatia. One thing to do today is stock up on spares. Shame it's a bank holiday then... oldcars, Eddie Honda, eddyramrod and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeEP Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I wanted a 1325! Very rare. Haven't seen one yet. We are aiming to reach Serbia today, then Bosnia, Croatia and Slovenia. You're doing the reverse route to Craig the Princess, Mrs CtP and myself then. If you venture into Belgrade beware that all road signs seem designed to stop you ever escaping. We took the Allegro over the Transfagarasan; no snow but fog and freezing cold. And lots (and lots) of stalls selling any type of tat at the top. catsinthewelder, cort1977 and problemhamster 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 It dumped most of its screenwash at the Brico Mart, which was alarming. The pump explodes into pieces if you operate it. However, we now have good wiper blades. Cats has made several attempts to sort out the gear linkage, but no joy so far. We're back near where we bought it. The seller is raising a scrappy for nuts.

skattrd Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 There looks to be loads of space in the engine bay, so for now any screenwash reservoir and pump could be made to fit. I assume you have gaffer tape and cable ties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coprolalia Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Stop in Ljubljana in Slovenia if you can, architecture, food and people are all fantastic. There's a brilliant pizza place called Emonska Klet just off Kongresni Trg (Congressional square).Lake Bled also worth a detour, absolutely stunning. Can't wait for updates!

dollywobbler Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 We are racing towards the Serbian border, so communication will be slow for a few days. Unless we decide to cross tomorrow. Not sure.
