NO!

Search for Uroglass they make them in the UK.

ghay i was hoping to pay under £100 for a screen. theres some early and late Esprits in the scrappy near me, so thought maybe a pre 87 might fit?

[Chris Williams]

Be interesting to know what they are charging now for them???

Cheap + Delorean = You where warned

I have a Uroglass screen in my car certainly no complaints about quality and has the early built in antenna.

LOL very true, but then sometimes it can be, for my car I got brand new (not refurb) front calipers for £110 green stuff pads for £33 Discs about £44 and S/Steel hoses (half a set) for £25.00 so all in to completely re-do the front brakes was just over £200 so not to bad really, Then you have to buy a lump of plastic that surrounds the radiator and that costs nearly the same!

things can be cheap, if you search hard enough ... at the end of the day i got a whole car for £4.5k, and done 16k miles, and it turns out to be in real good condition, so there's gotta be parts out there for less than retail.

so far, parts i need are,

Fuel pump,
Windscreen,
Seats recovering (the rest of the interior is mint)


Parts i have spare are:

A-post covers, trimmed in grey
complete instrument panel,
a few new, sealed and also some used bonnet, door, and hatch struts,
indicator stalks,
Various switches,
and a few boxes of other random parts i havent got through yet.

the car also came with a full set of manuals, parts diagrams etc, Fitted DMC logo cover, and doors that open fully and fit perfect

There is a bit on fuel pumps hear: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4671
Or a new bosch on Ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1x-Bosch-ELEC ... 125wt_1328
You can sell some of the parts on Ebay to, indicator stalks should be worth good money!
I would be interested in the car cover!

Shakes head, yes lots of bits _ARE_ cheap, it is an old Renault in a fancy frock after all

However certain bits are not for example _Windscreens_

Don't take everything so litteral folks we're not all trolls sitting here waiting to have a go you know :twisted:

[RobScott]

I recently bought a windscreen...about £400 fitted......incidentally, the same as Dave Howarth paid ( each) when he had a batch of 10 made over a decade ago. (I bought the last of that batch as well) . Now they are readily available through normal channels.

i do have a load of 4mm polycarb left over from our rally cars but looking at the structure, and knowing a fair bit about fibreglass, i recon the windscreen is structural, so polycarb wouldnt do

looks like i'll have to shell out £250....

good news looking round the car today, its had a new cluch master and slave cylinder, new brake master cylinder, new disks, new front calipers, pads, brake lines even the tyres are new, alltho the rear left has been sat flat for a while and cracked up a bit ... so i guess i can stretch to a new screen he he he

cant you do a claim on your insurance for the windscreen, might only cost you about
£75 then
