I think Justin owes you that doughnut now ;)


Nah, I'm sure all of us with 2CV wings have done it at some point. I absolutely shat myself the first time mine made that noise, its one of the very finest nails on blackboard tones and sounds expensive.

Just check the rubber gaiters, make sure they are still in one piece. I had the inner/middle :? one ripped to shreds by the inner wing coming into contact with it.

I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason for the inner wing to enclose the engine bay so tightly, but having wrecked loads of those gaiters and fighting wings over the top of the tyres, so on my current 2cv I just cut the lower part of the inner wing off.
