Yes that sounds like a plan, I've just put my engine back in, I checked my octopus over, it all seems well routed and the rubber seems supple enough so I didn't bother replacing it, even though I have a spare. I'm sure it will be leaking by next week :lol: Any special plans for your engine? If so st...

Hello John, Welcome, love to see some pictures of your 2CV. You probably know that the 16V never came with the 4x4 drive train so you'd have to combine two (possibly three including mi16x4) cars, starting with a rust free 4x4 as a base. We have a member from Finland, Cibx, who has done this: http://...

Cheers,
Chris.

I'm after a new(ish looking) coolant expansion bottle for a reasonable price as I'll need to get it to Australia too.. Mine looks like it's been filled with mud, although it does match the distributor cap nicely... Any tips on restoring it to its original colour also welcome, though I assume thats n...

Hi all, Do we think this is too close, I couldn't really get the verniers in there but it seems to be around 2 - 2.5mm between the calliper and spoke. Spins happily. The brake pad warning wire is touching but i'm sure I can sort that easily. Or just bite the bullet and get some 5mm hubcentric spacer...
