And not to mention the doors are filled with glass wool...
I did see yesterday the battery was low 10 volts. Driving home 3 kms wasn't eough to charge the battery as i started it with the cables before. So it ook t he it out and hooked the old charger up. This morning it had just over 13,7 volts. Started the car and did see the charge go to 16 volts. A bit much, but after a spin through the town it was back to 14,5 volts...Strange.

Perhaps take look at the regulator?

Ground is the usual suspect. :)

It started well after 2 days rest. Brakes felt a bit spongy so this morning i started with adjusting the rear brakes and to my surprise there was rather lot of play. I drove 2 summers with 3 persons in the car in very hilly terrain. That must have used the rear brakes a bit. Before i drove it mostly alone and in 37 years i adjusted the rears maybe 2 times... ;-)
Now they are fine again.

My 83 2cv didn't start just at work. This morning it was already difficult. I hit the startermotor with the starting handle (that is wat it was made for?)and it did run again. So i think it will need new brushes. I swapped the motor and did find that the one i put in now was the original one. It was already cleaned and prepaired.

Other nice surprise today, i did find one of the last types of miners lamps used in our local coal mines. It has an electric ignition, very rare.
