The points...

Today has been 2CV service day (1), it is usually done in November, the anniversary of its purchase, so it is a tad overdue...

Oil and filter change was no problem, especially now I own a €5 oil filter wrench...

We have had the 2CV for over two years now and I have never checked the points!!! I am used to just taking off the distribution cap... Not with the 2CV: it's a full dismantle job!

The exposed points!!

To rebuild... First the points box cover...

Then the waterproof rubber thingy...

Then it's replace the fan and fan guard...

and finally re-tighten the alternator belt...

Yes, they did require adjustment from 12 thou to 16 thou...

And now for something completely different... How many times have you thought 'A hook would be very useful for that, if only I had one'

Well get yourselves to Lidl...

One of this weeks offers, at €2.99 well worth keeping on the shelf... The biggest problem will be remembering I bought them!!!

Happy Birthday

To our France 3...


31 today.

She has given us many pleasurable drives through the French countryside and long may she continue to do so...
