 Re: The O/T thread! aah see ive never had a post 80 Dyane or a pre 80 2cv well i did once but didn't know what it was.  as for Acadiane.....hmm lets see high(er) compression engine running lean and pushing a hell of a lot of air out the way and the possibility of a 400kg payload what could possibly go wrong

Re: The O/T thread! Would slightly de-tuning the engine lower the point at which max torque is achieved? This would be clearly better for a vehicle carrying heavier payloads and not going to run any land speed records....

Could it be something as simple as expecting delivery drivers to rag the tits of the things whilst neglecting the maintenance, the lower compression would provide a bit more scope for things to go awry with timing wandering.
