Yet another thing needed.
Have noticed that the cross member that the radiator sits on is very badly corroded beyond repair.
Does anybody know the Renault part no?
Had a look on Dialogys and couldn't see it.
Thanks

Just found out that this is part of the subframe and can't be bought seperately. Replacement subframe is 240 odd quid from Renault!!!!
Beever Auto Panels do a pattern part for 85 quid.
cut and weld on a new section

as ben says cut it and weld a new piece in.could even drop the rad a few inches ready to give clearance for bodies .hehe

I'm hoping the rest of it isn't as bad, but I'll have a good look when I take the engine out and take it from there.
Throttle bodies would be nice...
