Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Finally made permanent fix of fuel line on Ami and changed the gear oil.
I'd like to say that refilling the gearbox was a piece of p**** but I would be lying. Its a lot easier in a 2CV.

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Got to the end of the street and the 2CV spluttered to a halt.
Quick inspection and no fuel getting to carb.
Luckily the postman was passing so he towed me back home!

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Fitted the muff [which is a trickier job than usual on my 2CV  ......'cos I use a "big chevron" grille in the summer and the standard grill in winter ......and thus have to change the whole grill] It passed half an hour anyway  .....have you fitted your muffs yet  T.

My general rule when driving a 2cv saloon is that the muff goes on about the time of year when you need to close the roof. This is usually about the time that the public transport system grinds to a halt and they start closing schools too  You know Terry for a mere £12 you can buy an actual large chevron muff? Also there isn't a muff on/off time just put it on when it's cold. If you have t use de-icer on your windscreen use a muff.
