Door Seals for a 3 door

Hello Everyone, Just a quick one to ask if anyone has had much experience replacing the seals around the door. Mine are looking quite tired and its getting very loud down the motorway. I've had a look at places like www.sealsdirect.co.uk but not sure, there's a lot of choice and the fittings look re...

Re: Rear brake supplies

After a bit more searching I have gone out on a limb on some fittings kits and some cylinders. Just those difficult drums to find.

Rear brake supplies

Hello Forum, I was wondering if anyone knew of a supplier for rear brake parts. I have an 88 1.7 340 B172 and the rear brakes are in bad need of some attention. I have leaking cylinders, the shoes are completely worn, they have badly damaged the drums and the fittings are very rusted. I've noticed t...

Re: Alternators on the 1.7

Thank you Mac

That's some inspiring stuff, I'll order some bits. On a side note, what product do you use for your cleaning/resurfacing?

Re: Alternators on the 1.7

Interesting, I quite fancy a go at rebuilding my alternator but have never done one before. I have seen a few of your photo guides, did you ever do one for that? Just leafing through the Haynes there is a set of instructions. Which parts were needed for the rebuild?

Alternators on the 1.7

My alternator left me on the side of the road this week, when I did get it home on a jump start and tested it was giving out just 2.5 :( I was wondering if anyone knew what the replacement options were. I took this one out and its an A13N Valeo 12V-60A YH1652A. There is one of these for sale on ebay...

Which renaults?

Hey there
My cam belt snapped the other day, piston heads are ok but needs a new cylinder head. I know the 1.7 was a renault motor originally but what models? I think it'd probably be easier to find an old renault at scrapyard than another 340.
Cheers, Nick
