I would basically agree with your points Bernie,
Only problem is, unless you have big money to spend for somewhere out the way many countries are very similar.

I'm fed up with yobbish behaviour.
Kids mouthing F*** off.
Yob drivers pushing in, then unleash a torrent of abuse when you beep your horn.
I'm getting out of this country and leave it to the scum

Simca parts compatibility...

Have you tried a halfords universal one? it fitted my 504.

The washer jet motor on my 1973 Simca 1100 has packed up, does anyone know of any other motors that would be compatible with the Simca? It has the old type round connectors, with only an earth and live.

people keep saying it 'cause it sounds cool!

Last post

Hmm, when you do a search for the word leak in the citroen forum, you will get 95 pages of results... I should have done this search before buying a citroen.

Blimey, dont want much do you vanny :-)
right, these are my understandings of the questions you have asked........
1. Valve guides should be checkable by eye and feel when you have the valve out, look at them, any visible wear spots? hold the head of the valve and 'feel' for lateral play, any more than nough to allow the valve to slide into the...

Last post

My god it's quiet in here!
Well this should liven things up!
I'm about to start rebuilding my poorly sick 1.9TD engine, and to be honest i've not done anything like it before!
To put it into context i have the head in the kitchen and the bottom end in the garage (20 miles away). I'm happy that i need to take the head to bits to check the valve...

Well vangreen I hope you enjoy yourself, and have a successful event. That certainly will be a lot of 2cv's at one event, so it looks like you will be very busy.
I am looking forward to seeing the pictures of the event on the forum, if you, or another visitor to the show can post the details, for those of us who cannot make it to the event.

Last post

Well, it is upon us. The World Meeting of 2cv Friends commences on Tuesday 26th. Something like 3000 cars are expected so you may get delayed on all northbound motorways over the next week!
It takes place in Kelso in the Scottish Borders and 2cv'ers from all over the world (including Japan and Australia!) will be visiting.
Won't be on here for a...

C6 prices

by Ross_K » 21 Jul 2005, 21:06

First post

It's up against stiff competition from BMW, Mercedes, Audi - well, just about everybody really. Joe Soap isn't going to buy a Cit over one of those brands.
Shame really, it'll make a great buy in five year's time.

Last post

It may look nice, but just look at how much they want for it!!!

No doubt they will straight away discount 5 grand off it, but it still won't be remotely affordable.....

POOR MW/LW RADIO RECEPTION

I would guess that the aerial is not well optimised for AM reception, being optimal for FM reception. Years back car radios always had a little adjustable trimmer capacitor to tune the aerial for optimal AM reception and this was always a very critical adjustment. I have not listened to an AM broadcast in the car for donkeys now so I don't know if...

Hi folks,
I recntly replaced my factory fitted radio and 6 disc cd changer as the changer was defunct with a Kenwood WDC4031 cd/mp3/wma unit which is absoloutlely superb.
I bought the unit from Argos and it was fitted free by Hyde Park Cornner who done an excellent job, and they supplied the facia adaptor and steering wheel control for an...
