LETTER FROM FRANCE WEEK 2022 Week 27, 27 June "The 4L needs fixing"

We began to look at Ruth's Renault 4L (our local shopping runabout) at the end of last week, as it had this smell on petrol hanging around and seemed to be getting worse.

I stuck a piece of cardboard under the fuel tank and yes to be sure there was a leak. Did not seem too great but obviously fuel was getting out and in the hot weather it seemed to us that it might be foolhardy to take it into town and risk someone slinging a match in our direction!

I might have mentioned this earlier, Ruth and I decided that at almost 78 years old, the time has come for me to stop crawling under cars to do all the repairs.

We had bought a decent 14 years old, one owner, C4 Grand Picasso last year that we very much like and hope it will last us several years.

The other cars, which still number four are off the road except for the 4L.

There is a nice Mk 5 Ford Escort Convertible, (exhaust fallen off). A nice Merco 190E (just not been used since covid), and the MG B GT that we were actually using the time we bought this little house in France.

Long story with the MG but is sits in our garage on a ramp and I have been doing things to it over the last 7 years or so!!
