Thought early bmw were air cooled , later ones called oil heads?
Want to keep it Citroen, so Supercharger or GS motor which is under the bench.
Nowt doing at the moment laid up with Back problem...

Put in a BMW-1100GS, much better and easier then a Citroen GS(A) engine... (in coperation with Pete Sparrow and Louis)....

Thinking is clever by putting the oilcooler at the front of the car... Then make a fresh -air-scope at the roof (like zx Dakar rally-car and co.) and you have the best 2cv 4x4 by far....

Today its Warm 12.5 C and sunny so I wired up the control box for the suspension pumps.

Here's the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZariCEwcf0

Awesome! Is it also automatically controlled, or only manual?

@Is it also automatically controlled, or only manual?

Glad you like it.
Back is just about tolerable with pain killers, Op is on the calendar Feb/Mar if I'm lucky!

Please be careful with those pain killers. The tolerance raises too easy and too high, and you need to use them more. Don't ask me how I know, but after over eleven years daily use teaches a lot of them...


I think you don't really need any automatics on your suspension. Usually you have same load on your 2cv, it doesn't vary nearly at all. Opposed to daily driven car, what you use to shops, carry people etc...

Also easy-to-use manual controlling is what you might need at off-road use. Especially if you can control both sides, or even every wheel individually. Ok, with some sensors more, there could be some automation what keeps body near vertically what ever there is under wheels, but maybe only manual controlled is simple enough to work on those off-road conditions...


What I say, I wouldn't resist to make automatic control if I had a hydraulic suspension. And, maybe some year I have..?

The set up now is controlled by 4 switches that allow the up/down movement, so that each Arm(wheel) can be adjusted on its own. So all MANUAL, still learning how behaves and to "guess" how long to hold the switches to get the height correct, that's just when its not moving and with no reaction with the road.

I think I need some sort of indicator??? to show height for the front and the rear at the normal ride height.

The C5 has a front ARB, attached to that is a control which tells the pump to stop, same at the rear. Not having any ARB's have to come up with another solution?
