do yourself a favor if you need bits that the local motor factors don't have go to your local vauxhall dealers as their parts are a lot cheaper than Renault parts eg 2x clear front indicator lights are about the same price as an single Renault amber one the vans are identical in fact when vauxhall released there master equivalent they had to bring them to us a Renault dealer to fit alarms so we had a bit of a look over them and there are Renault part numbers all over the place

Hi Jiff,
I need a rear lens for a Renault Master 1991 do you think Vauxhall would have
that part mate.
 
Hi Jiffers,

Thanks for the info. Although I knew that the two vans were about the same, it didn't occur to me that Vauxhall spares might be cheaper.

Regards,

Mick H.
 
Jiffers... That is excellent, handy info! Not just for those buying parts from dealers but for those searching ebay etc!

Yup! I remember them starting back in the late eighties when a few of them started utilising the same floorpan!

Yes, but they were basically the same uk state owned companies! I was thinking more like Saab and Fiat/Lancia/Alfa Romeo combo.

Hi


What do current Renault Master owners use to convert headlamps for continental use. Are the headlamps switchable if so where is the switch.

Thanks

I have old Master might be the new model that has that function mine dont have it.
 
Hello


There are converters available pre 2004 but not since. I have looked under the bonnet of a current rmaster but cant see anywhere to effect switching the beam. AFAIK ther are no plans to make the headlamp protectors with the black patches like the one available for the Fiat last model.
