Re: Starting problems -- PLEASE HELP !!

I think that it's not correct solution of your problem.

Did you checked ECU electrical loom?

Or, maybe the battery is in bad condition? Is it Bosch silver?

Re: Confused when buying new Discs! Hub or no hub??

With 99% certainty I can say yes, but you must check empirically ;)

Remove the rear wheel and compare what you see with the photos in this topic:

Re: Confused when buying new Discs! Hub or no hub??

Discs with hubs are for first cars.

Hub is a place for the bearing. My 1986 es have rear discs integrated with hub and bearing. In my 1990 turbo discs are independent part. Hub and bearing is mounted on the rear axle.

Re: Newbie

Hello mate. A lot of parts are similar with the Renault 19.

Parts are cheap in Poland I suspect in UK too.

The biggest problem in 480 is corrosion, so if you will find car with shell in good condition, the rest is fixable in minimal costs ;)

480 have self-supporting body, so basically it is impossible.
