I think our Valver has done a couple of runs from Cheddar to Weston Super Mare, with maybe 4 runs to the tip in Cheddar when my dad wanted to get rid of garden rubbish that wouldn't fit in his A4........ I haven't bothered asking about mileage, but if the weather is nice and the tax hasn't expired I...

James There's an engine specialist that does work on these engines not too far from Brighton - if it was me I'd get it down to them and have it finished off with an airbox and mapping and it'd be a proper rocket :D This car has been well known in the club for many years since Chris bought it and was...

Well the pipes got made up and were fitted on Monday, went down for MOT re-test on Tuesday and now has a healthy new certificate :D Also renewed the classic insurance (1250 miles since last time) and it's had the K&N element cleaned and re-oiled. My dad's barely driven it since the end of last s...

Cheers folks The pipes (apparently both are needed) arrived from Citroen today, unfortunately they're the wrong ones :? on talking to the dealer it appears the correct parts for 16V are no longer available. Cutting a long story short, Mani at Bristol 2CVs will be making pipes up, as he has the corre...

update on this - according to citroen the part should be in next thursday, but not holding my breath! Dad's spoken to Mani(sp?) at Bristol 2CVs who said he can make one, but needs either the car or the pipe off the car, to make it as no pattern. He did suggest Plaides who must have patterns to make ...

failed MOT!

Hi all The valver has, for the 1st time since we bought it, failed its MOT on a heavily corroded front brake pipe. Bit of a surprise as it's stored in a bone dry (heated) garage and only did 1200 miles since the last MOT! It got pressed into service last winter when my parents A4 was playing up, so ...

Nice :D See air-con controls too, so super rare in the UK!

Thought the pump on the 16V was mounted on the opposite side from non 16V so requires a much longer pipe run from tank to pump?

no, definitely not - think it has plastic bonnet, but not 100% on that.

My old one's the only cat one within these circles in the UK that I'm aware of - seen a couple advertised but not owned by folks who frequent this forum.
