Rosette 13/5mm with screw. Contents: 12 pieces + 12x screw 4mm/16mm. This rosette consists only of

a punched-out sheet metal which has been nickel-plated. They are not as sturdy and pretty as our numbers 21143, 21144, 21145, but these rosettes are more like the original rosettes used in early Citroen 2CV, R4, Dauphine etc. Higher-quality vehicles were more likely to have our shiny alternatives (e.g. Citroen DS).

Battery charger for 6 volts + 12 volts (OptiMate 5 6V/12V). Charging capacity: 3 amps at 12 volts

4 amps at 6 volts. This battery charger and trickle charger only charges lead-acid batteries (i.e. the batteries in classic cars). It can be used for both 6 volt and 12 volt batteries. This charger can also reactivate deeply discharged batteries (up to a discharge of 0.5 volts)! The clever electronics make it possible. You can also test batteries. It has a fuse circuit in case it is connected incorrectly. It controls the charging current according to the ambient temperature and has many other options. Regular desulphation is important for a long battery service life. And this is what these modern chargers can do.

R4/R6, thrust strut left, last version, (not adjustable) connection wishbone to the thrust strut

eye. Suitable for Renault R4 + R6. The fixed struts have replaced the adjustable struts with fork mount. However, we cannot give an exact date. However, the fixed struts were fitted at least until the end of production in 1992. Or. No. 7700684590. If this strut is knocked out or even completely missing, you will get an adventurous ride!

all M14 spark plugs. The repair kit comes with an HSS thread cutter (drive wrench size 17 mm) and 4 thread inserts. Length of thread inserts: 9.7 mm + 11.0 mm + 13.0 mm + 19.1 mm.

Battery charger - trickle charger for winter storage (OptiMate 1). Switchable between 6 volts and

12 volts. This small continuous charger is ideal for permanently connecting to a battery during the winter break. State-of-the-art technology protects against reverse polarity of the connections. It is suitable for normal lead batteries (those with acid). The maximum charging current is 0.6 amps. Please note: You cannot use this charger to quickly charge or reactivate empty batteries! It is therefore designed to keep the battery fresh and, if necessary, charge it very slowly. The scope of delivery also includes a charging cable that can be permanently connected to the battery. Simply route the plug connection to the outside and the charger can be connected without opening the bonnet.

Battery charger for 12 volts (OptiMate 6 Ampmatic). Charging capacity: 6 amps. The 'Swiss Army

knife' among battery chargers. You can connect all types of batteries (STD, AGM, EFB, GEL batteries). Almost all sizes can also be connected (3AH > 144Ah). This charger can even reactivate deeply discharged batteries (down to a discharge of 0.5 volts)! Its smart electronics make it possible. You can also test batteries. It has a safety circuit in case it is connected incorrectly. It controls the charging current according to the ambient temperature and has many other options. Whether it's a lawnmower, boat, car, motorhome, motorbike or tractor, this charger automatically adjusts to everything. And let's be honest, who knows what kind of battery is installed in modern vehicles these days? With this, it doesn't matter! Only modern electric vehicles cannot be charged with it! Of course, it can also be used as a normal battery maintenance charger. Our tip if you have several vehicles that are stored over the winter: get one of these chargers and equip the other vehicles with our maintenance chargers. The scope of delivery also includes a charging cable that can be permanently connected to the battery. Simply route the plug connection to the outside and the charger can be connected without opening the bonnet. Regular desulphation is important for a long service life of lead-acid batteries. And this is what these modern chargers can do.

Typical Problems with the Renault R5

Let's be honest, anyone driving a Renault R5 is familiar with the common issues of this classic. The technology may be from another era, but that's part of the charm. To keep your Renault R5 running smoothly, you should watch out for the following:
 
  • Rust: Especially on the wheel arches, sills, and floor panels. Regular inspections and action when necessary are key.
  • Electrics: Loose connections and faulty wires can occur. It's wise to keep an eye on the electrical system.
  • Brakes: The braking system on older models can be problematic. Regular checks and renewals are a must.
  • Cooling: The radiator and water pump shouldn't be neglected, or you might end up with an overheating issue.
