Re: 1988 2cv D*lly bits and bobs It always surprises me just how different cars are. James' car is a totally different drive to mine. It drives nicely though, steering's tight, clutch feels nice, etc.. It is a bit hesitant in second, but makes up for it in third. Compression is pretty damn fine.
The only possible issue with James' car is it eating points and condenser, I can't understand why it burns them out so quickly.

Re: 1988 2cv D*lly bits and bobs James, don't forget that if you put a heavy flywheel on you'll need to put a three spring clutch on too, which also involves changing the release bearing on the gearbox.

Thats why i got a 123 ignition, I ran for years adjusting and replacing points and condensers which needed doing every 500km's or so and given i made a lot of 800km trips interstate it drove me nuts! 123 ignition was the best investment i made on the car! Well apart from the $350 towing fine i got for leaving it parked in a clearway overnight after a late night call from my ex girlfriend, that was also money well spent  Harley

voltage reg, earthing of the engine as well as correct coil would be my checks points need a "run in" tine then they settle and give 1000s of miles of life - the weak point being the condenser. Vellaman/smiffy sparks does away with the condenser

Re: 1988 2cv D*lly bits and bobs RT ecas sell a diaphragm clutch to fit the heavy flywheel. Will I still need to change the bearing??
The voltage isn't too high. But it may be half a v too low, and it's on as I believe an original coi,

You might, I'm not sure. But if it comes with one, you might as well change it while you're there.
