 Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Took it for an MOT. The car's run perfectly for months, but approximately 30 seconds into the emissions test, the float valve decided to stick, flooding the carburettor, and sending the HC and CO readings through the roof! A quick tap with the corrosion assessment hammer and all was well again. A comfortable pass, otherwise.

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Fitted a non return valve last week and the 2CV is still a nightmare to cold start and today it was a struggle to hot start it too!! So out of desperation I've just bunged another coil on it. The original one had corrosion on both HT contacts so let's see what, if any, difference another coil makes.
Oh... And today is reached 230,000 miles.

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? I've not been out in my 2CV in over a week (though I try and start it on a daily basis) so today I decided to use it for work. First fail - No petrol -  Went to petrol station, it splashed back on me  Second fail - Decided to take it to the "local car wash", as it had petrol on the rear wing. The car wash also gave me a wash, as the water came thru the door windows  So I turned up to work smelling of petrol, and suds. At least the car is full of fuel, looking super clean and ready to go. Whereas I, on the other hand.............

Oh... And today is reached 230,000 miles. Other coil seem to have made for better cold starting, but at the expense of hot starting.  time for a new coil.

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Get a mate to buy it off you, and then sell it back to you after you get a job again
