Hopefully good news to Classic Renault owners

Hopefully this might help us all keep our T’s in tip top shape -

Ed can you give them a list of all the essential parts that are now extinct

- brake pipes - heater panels -

Lovely idea, but contrary to almost everything Renault have done over the last few years. They are also very late to the party in terms of recognising their own legacy and the impact that may have, other manufacturers have been doing it for years.
Also, what garage/service centre are going to want to become one of these “Classic Centres” when very few original parts are available. Renault would have to address that first.

After spending abit of time looking around the Renault originals site I'm slightly concerned that the timeline shows a couple of clios like the Williams and v6 clio but no mention of any Renault Sport clios or the Trophy considering its constantly voted as 1 of, if not the best hot hatch cars you can buy.
I thought it had something to do with it not being judged as being old enough yet but the v6 is the same era clio.
I hope it gets added because as mentioned before the parts are getting harder to come by plus there is already a huge fan base of people who love Renault Sport not just the Trophy who would love to be a part of this.

Anyone know a reputable place to get a set of genuine fuel injectors? Cheers

Currently showing out of stock with all my usual suspects...

KTEC claim to have some, but that may be a gamble, they sometimes show stock which then turns out to be on backorder.

Ktech are reporting they have inventory still, but give them a ring to confirm if it's actually in stock.

I've bought parts from a+e in the past with no problems.

Yeah that’s the problem I’m having. I’d be very surprised if Ktec have actually got them in stock, as you say. Hmmm…..
