Ouch... i didn't realise you're talking about diesel.
They do not have it. I see no reason why should they have it.

1.4 have two choke flaps.
It could be removed to save fuel.
One is open if you go under 80-90 km/h and another one opens if you speed up to 100 km/h and above.
Then say goodbye to fuel.

Dont know how it is where you live, but around here, 340/360's are one of the most common cars on the junkyards. Nobody cares enought to keep them on the road so you often see VERY clean examples that probably blew a gasket or something silly like that. Just grab yourself a good bonnet at the wreck...

I have some special nuts, that can't be taken off with classic tools. I think i have them on Volvo, have to check out if my dad swap them and put on renault.
We use them to prevent thief stealing rims ( oh they do that often here ).
I'll post a pic of a tool today or tomorrow.
Cheers

Here on numberplate can be put names, combination of numbers and words, and that's all legal but you have to pay more for registration.

I think we can use different color of number-plates also. I've seen some blue-metallic on some cars that aren't the police ones.

^^ Yes, than one of the option is to cut out the part of rusting metal and replace it with new one ( if you can find any double layer of suitable size ). You can weld that part if you're low on cash, and protect it with some rust-free chemicals to prevent rust to come back. Part on scrappy are getti...
