 Re: My 2cv
Glorious weather, I'm roasting. Unfortunately, so is the car's alternator:-( I have no charging and it looks like the brushes have gone. I'm in the middle of nowhere so hope I can get somewhere before the inevitable happens. Guess I can't always have trouble free motoring holidays, just wish it was closer to home.

 Re: My 2cv
No, about 100,000 My phone's about to die, but the car is still going strong and I've driven over 150miles today.

 Re: My 2cv
Car appears to have healed itself overnight which is good, my phone was down to 4% but has now been fully charged. Today is another scorching day in Scotland

 Re: My 2cv
I saw it coming and made for the border I still seem to have an issue with the 3-point charger for my sat-nav and phone. It has a circuit that cuts power to whatever you are charging up if the power it receives has dropped below a certain voltage-so the battery can just supply power to running the car-but the car is still running okay and starts okay, too  Perhaps I should have a trip to ECAS and buy a new brush set for the Iskra alternator.
