Likely a Renault decision as Tombstones may not have complied...they fitted Renault seats after the Pug. Tombstones.In 89 a Peugeot France guy visited Heidelberg...WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THOSE RUBBISH SEATS IN THERE..GET THEM ...OUT.!!PUG SEATS AGAIN..

In 79 I would think?
I can't believe that they let Renault Australia fit Monroe rear shocks to the 504, also that horrible Borg Warner 35 auto.

The Monroes cost less than $2.00 wholesale.
You mean that auto gearbox which, when it changed gear, you felt like you were getting thumped in the back of the head with a piece of 4 X 2 ?
I fell in love with my 505 which had a ZF gearbox.

We have two threads covering ES9s in 504s. Got a dunger 406 V6 complete so will look at this myself now with the spare 504 V6.
The integrated system was made for Annand and Thompson in Brisbane. It has two lower vents below the radio and feeds cold air also through the original dashtop vents. - My '80 has this system. It can be a bit fiddly on the controls and it just ate its second temp control capillary tube. The 505 compressor mount is a bit tight for space with the 504 battery tray. My car has the 505 alloy sump with rigid compressor brackets (made for purpose) and a power steering pump on the upper alternator position. The alternator is on the lugs on the block bottom right, so I have only two belts where the 505 has three.
By cutting the radiator support panel it is possible to mount the condenser to the left leaving half the radiator exposed on the right, which helps the cooling a lot. A small fan can be put behind the condenser to the left of the radiator.
505 Gti uses the same front brakes as a late 504. The late 504s had the square port engine and solex carb with auto choke, but a lot have grown webers. Mine has a 5 speed out of a 505 GR but I didn't bother with the speedo drive grear and the Km/h speedo now reads MPH - checked against GPS. There are other threads on fixing the speedo drive with the 5 speed in a 504.
