i've ordered a new carb, because it would cost me 1/3 of the price of the carb just to buy a rebuild kit.

You may not need the rebuild kit, you just need to find out what is wrong with it. Most carb rebuild parts are never needed unless the car has done alot of miles. It may not be the carb. You can usually reuse the gaskets etc.
I didn't know you could still get the carbs, how much was it?

total of £229 with shipping aswell, in my case i think its the carb, i noticed last time i had it stripped, that most of the gaskets weren't holding up that good.

I called Renault, and they say that the air ristrictor Hose is not in production anymore, anyone got an idea of where to get it or how to replace it with something else?
