They were very prone to corrosion in the UK, particularly in Scotland due to the climate. Partager ce message Lien à poster Partager sur d’autres sites

funkyvinz 2 Posté(e) le 10 décembre 2014 It's AMAZING !! sco 14 you make a really good restauration on your's father R14.It's so good to see a R14 outside France in a so good condition.Many thanks "sco 14" and "sergio" for your interest in this car !!Because you must know in France, there's not so much peoples who lile it.Because she's got a bad publication of her in France in 1977, the publicitationsay "the Renault 14 is like a peare", for her shave, but the peoples thing at used,if they boat one they 'll be a Pear (as well).So like that, some of R14 as got a big problème with the rust, some has got some problemswith there engen xho like to drike a little bit to mush oil, some's got problems to start her engine the morning, some of them take water inside when it was rainning...And at list the Renault's garages doesn't like her engine, because it wasn't a Renault Engine,like the others ones of the Renault philosophie.Renault make an accord with Peugeot at the end of the 60ies for built this motor, that Peugeot put inside her 104 en 1972, but Peugeot brake her accords with Renault in 1974 and go to see Citroen.So Renault has got this engine on her arms, and must put it in side a car, and so it was the R14.And the R14 was in a cathegory of cars (the 7cv) wher there is lot of.And at end, the body of the R14 was in 1976 (for the first ones) may be to new for a car.
