 Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Was going to rest the 2CV yesterday but we're enjoying such nice weather up here at the moment that I couldn't resist. Been nice for over a week now and again today, so might just drag it out for a spin again today.

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? 3rd day on the trot. Off to the shops in him. No issues at all. starts on a single pull, perfect. Should have fixed my dynamo months ago..... If I had known there was a problem...... Just thought an old 2 2cv was like that

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? It's been 10 days since I parked him up, and then a combination trips out with friends, days off &housework and car-sharing with colleagues meant that I haven't used him since and he was in danger of having stuff plonked on top of him in the garage.
Anyway, sorted that today when I came home from work (in a borrowed Vauxhall): I checked the oil, checked the screenwash, checked the lights, fired him up, fixed the driver's mirror in place (gaffer tape) and re-fitted the heater pipes (which had been removed for the summer) Also tidied out the back and loaded up with some bits for the Wye Knots group.
I shall be trundling into work in him tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock and then heading off straight after to the Tarrington Arms for dinner and the aforementioned meeting.

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Fitted an in-line heater blower, made a right pigs ear of it, will do it again properly next weekend when I've got some new heater pipes.

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? fitted a blade fuse holder 8 way so 4 spare bays for the electronics and perhaps the headlamps , also fitted a flip switch ignition and a push button start going to re fit the rear window as it seems to have pulled the frame due to the hatch back and has started dripping - goes away in the garage after a good hot run sometime soon really does start "on the button " now

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Jumped up and down on the front bumper a few times. The bonnet hadn't been shutting right, and looked a bit "up" when it was shut. I initially thought the chassis might be starting to sag, but then I realised that somebody's obviously nudged the front bumper up a touch when parking. The method described in the first sentence has restored everything to how it should be.

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Took the Shed up to Richard Daltons this morning so they can MOT it - hopefully the gods will smile favourably on it and it won't be the usual multiple £100's that it normally costs me.......

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Was part of the display at the Foire de Luchon yesterday. A long day sitting around but they fed us which was good. Off to Pay today on a 2CV club outing (our first) to a chateau.  image by Tripyrenees, on Flickr  image by Tripyrenees, on Flickr  image by Tripyrenees, on Flickr
