Know anything about Renault 5s?

Bought a Renault 5 Campus 1988 on Sunday. £250.

 

Monday the speedo stopped working - I'm assuming the spinner thing fell out the back from the ticky noise it made before it popped. Good thing is the odo isn't clocking up any more! :p

 

Today the clutch cable broke, it had a new clutch in May, and I'm being blamed now for breaking the new clutch!! Can't see me wearing out a cable in 2 days!!!

 

 

Are these easy fixes? Even for me?

How much of a PITA is the clutch cable to replace? Any special tools needed?

clutch cables are easy, but make sure when you put it through the bulk head it goes through straight, or it will snap after no time like what has happened.

 

 

and the speedo will be the cable broken probably, easy check is pull the pin out the box and pull the cable out, careful, dont let the drive drop into the box....

then the 'little bit of metal' that sticks out the end of the cable spin it whilst someone watches your speedo, if it goes up its fine, if not change it dude....

My misses 5GTT ate a clutch cable every six months or so, this is a slight

design fault by Renault. Easy install, takes bout an hour from start to finish.

Fit it throught the bulkhead, attach to peddle and route to clutch lever. Lever

the clutch lever with a jack handle and jobs done

Its partly a design fault but the big problem is the fitting, when it goes through the bulkhead it HAS to go through straight, and buy the cable from renault too!

Honestly, make sure they go in straight, it can take a while but it will make all the difference, and will save you doing it in a few months time again!!
