It's funny how Renault had such a distinctive style wheel. Used to live near a Renault garage in Inveraray, saw soooo many of those in my youth.

Pressed steel with an odd shape in the centre to take account of the bearing adjusters.
I had these on an old Renault 5 I wrote off!!! Fuck yeah!!! :-D

I have the 5's successor, a Clio - no such wackiness on it. :-(

Renault is seperate from Citroen/Peugeot/Talbot. French cars are the greatest! At failing electrics.

And dodgy hydraulics... (Xantia for four years)

Chrysler was also a brand of Peugeot-Talbot in the UK at one time. Also, Hillman and Singer, when it was part of the Rootes Group. And Commer/Dodge for commercials.

Talking about dodgy hydraulics, turbozutek, you're lucky your Xantia doesn't have the Activa suspension (or does it). It's fine until it breaks, then it costs $$$ to repair and they can't even do it right! It was available only to the 2.0T and 3.0 V6 models.

I thought the Citroen hydropneumatic suspension was a lot simpler than greedy mechanics perhaps make out. I can't see it being much more complex than the hydraulic brakes in 99% of vehicles...

I did indeed have an Activa - which could pull more force around a corner than a 911 turbo.
;-)
And yeah, it was pretty simple - EXCEPT the activa which had four extra rams, three more spheres, valves and two computers!

Well, at least we have shared a unique (Citroën) experience :)
I really liked Activa too before it started acting all crazy. The Xantia was my last French car, I drive an Audi these days.
