1973 Renault 15 - I've broken my own rules.

Got a bit of fettling time on this today. Distributor was stripped and cleaned first - pretty good order, but the cap could do with replacing. New plugs and leads will be ordered as well. All three v belts have been ordered too as the ones on there are a bit ropey.

The valve that sits on top of the expansion jar was leaking a little, meaning that sometimes the jar filled with coolant when the engine was switched off. Sealing the joint where the pipe from the top of the radiator goes to the jar lid valve thing solved the problem, so a new one of those will be ordered too.

Interior lights now work after stripping and cleaning them, and a new bulb will see the rear ash tray light in the rear seat base operational. 

After a spirited drive up and down the farm's access road, the slightly wooly throttle response under hard acceleration gives the impression that the accelerator pump diaphragm is more than likely past its best. A carburettor rebuild kit should sort that.

Still not sorted the binding n/s/f brake yet - hopefully do that in the coming week.👍

Got a bit of time on it today as well. 😀 Near side front caliper was stripped and cleaned, seems to have done the trick. Also reversing lights sorted, there was a wire missing to the switch. No idea where it has gone to, but another wire has been added until the loom is out and I can sort it properly. 👍
