OH MY GOD! I KNOW THIS CAR! It was owned by my grandparents back in '78 when they moved to Queensland. They bought it off a good friend who bought it new. I know it's the same one because of that exact tach, I helped install it. In '97, my grandfather passed, and my grandmother sold the car to one of the people she went to church with and moved back home with us. It's great to see it again after all these years, even in its current state. EDIT: Thank you for all the likes and replies. I don't know anything that happened to the car after it was sold, and my grandmother passed a few years after that, so I can't ask her about it. We no longer live in Australia as we moved to Canada back in '03. I can't give any more details as it wasn't my car and my grandparents aren't here to answer any questions.

The only reason I (Canadian) had ever heard of Renault was my mechanic Dad’s book of emergency car repairs that he insisted I own. The heading for “sharing out wheel nuts” (if you lose them at night while changing a tire, for example) mentioned that Renaults and other small European cars often have only three so they couldn’t safely share. 😂 …The book itself was printed in the 80’s, so even though my Dad never owned anything newer than 1992 (his car when he passed in 2017 was built in 1981 and it was an absolute nugget!) it’s lonnnnng out of date.

My dad's first car was a Dacia 1100, which was a Renault 8 licensed copy, made from original parts but assembled in Romania. It was the same style, almost the same shape, almost all the curves are there. Engine at the back, trunk at the front. The engine was bulletproof and only had one issue. The radiator was at the back and cooling on it was subpar. Also, one major drawback was the cars tank was under the back seat and it was leaky as hell. I remember one time my pants got really wet from it. Almost fainted from the gasoline smell. Boy, this brings back memories.

I think I know the reason why there were pieces of woods inside the car. My grandpa had a Renault R4, and those cars had no way to secure lock their windows, so he used a piece of wood on each window to lock them from the inside whenever it was parked, otherwise, anyone can slide the windows from outside the car. Given that the R4 was released after the Renault 10, I think this car has the same gimmick, and it's safe to say that the previous owner used the same method to lock the windows.

You probably won't ever find this out, as you'll never drive it at night, but those headlamps are proper Cibies, and were one of the best headlamps of their day on a production car. As far as I recall the 10 didn't use the H4 base, but the P45, and you can get P45 halogens to fit. 99% of them were fitted with the crappy tungsten filament bulbs, never upgraded to halogens, and the owners never realised what they had. When fitted with a halogen bulb, these headlamps really deliver, provided the reflector is still in good condition.

This reminds me of back in '91 I was given a 1970 SAAB 99, the car came with an additional engine, the original Triumph/Ricardo slant 4, 1750cc with a D-tronic Bosh fuel injection, in the trunk and backseat. The PO had shoehorned a 1973 EMS 2.0 liter into that lump. The most amazing thing was that car was absolutely straight and rust free, a 4 door with the powder blue factory paint. Not a hint of corrosion. I fixed it up with a head milling and new head gasket/ new shims for the bucket and shim lash adjusters. It was a jalopy in Cartalk speak, but a ripper of a dead stock looking sleeper with the EMS's hot cam and D-tronic injection. It was supposedly 110 h.p. out of a SOHC 8 valve, which for it's time made it much faster than any of the Volvo 144 series cars it was competing with. Loved that car. My wife and I drove it 2 weeks after getting going and tagged, to California in July in the heat of the San Joaquin valley for a couple weeks. Did not overheat or miss a beat, and embarrassed a group of young guys in an early Turbo Volvo wagon on the Siskiyou pass coming back.

Just a reminder, if you are doing timing stuff, french being french, the cylinder n1 is the closest to the water pump, not the flywheel! i dont know this chassis, but some renaults needed the refrigerant jar hanged up while burping the system due to it being lower than other hoses or parts. i would read the shop manual just to get aware of some bizarre things and procedures these cars have. Where im at, those engines ares still being used and rebiult, valve timing is so conservative, even if you start it below freezing, on cng even, it will start as in the video, one crank rotation and away you go! Fun fact, you can rebuild the engine without taking it out, it has removable "floating" skirts that seal in the block with a thin oring that seems scary skinny, yet they hold up even after overheating the engine, no water, low oil... Grandma had one when i was a child, 78 renault 12, uncle had a 94 r19 that still held that engine, a friend had a 95(? twingo, still that engine, but 1.2 and monopoint injection as last life resource Renault definitely amortized that engine, it was in all renaults since the 60s to past 00s If you happen to need a somewhat unobtainable part for this baguette, parts and bushings are still being sold today for a penny where i live, hit me up!

Nom de Dieu, a Renault 10, in Australia of all places 😮 even here, in France, we don’t see them anymore. It was a rushed job to bridge the gap between the more affordable Renault 8 (on which the 10 is heavily based, but also gave us the glorious Gordini variant) and the higher-end Renault 16 (quite a groundbreaking car at the time, although not as much as its main rival, the Citroën DS), and inevitably suffered from a serious lack of image, most of them died out of corrosion - sadly, a common fate for 1960-70’s cars, but yours is well-preserved; or people dumped them via various « cash for clunkers » programs in the 1990’s and onwards (« prime à la conversion », for Frenchies). In fact, I don’t remember seeing one of these in real life. As you might already know, finding parts will be a challenge - in fact, it’s already a struggle here in Baguette-land. Engine parts may be easier to get hold of - looks (and sounds) like a variant of the Sierra/Cléon-Fonte engine, used in a slew of Renaults, but I don’t know about the Australian lineup of that era, so… good luck!
@nerd1000ifyАй бұрын
Corrosion problems are usually less serious in Australia, it doesn't normally get cold enough for the roads to become icy so there is no need to apply salt. Also the weather is usually pretty dry further south, though in Brisbane where I am the constant high humidity means any unprotected steel quickly develops surface rust. Renault and Citroen were never the most popular cars here, but were popular enough you still see the old ones around from time to time, and the modern ones still sell ok. There is a very well preserved DS that I often see out on weekend drives where I live. Surprisingly our local oil manufacturers still make the special oil needed for old Peugeot rear axles!

Renault 10s were actually assembled here in Australia. Along with 12, 16 and 18 from 1966 to 1981 when Renault closed the facility and went to fully importing. Funnily enough Renault even assembled some cars for Peugoet here too. The 504 im guessing.

A Renault 10, damn, all the parts bring back memories from my dad's 1971 Renault 12 that ran until 2007. The glass coolant jar, the 3 lug wheels, the lack of a tachometer, bad distributor. Also, most everybody replaced the muffler with a stainless steel one since the standard one had a habit of rusting through. I think that was the first project I helped my dad with on the car.
