Citroen bloody mindedness?


:rofl2: Citroen green-blooded mindedness :roll: :twisted: :wink:

So long as it is not Citroen BROWN bloody mindedness (which would occur if an unsuspecting person would mix LHM and LDS!). :lol:

Are you happy then for us to see how the Latvian behaves after any necessary fettling?

A giggle is always good James; they make me feel good and for various reasons I am feeling good today and have consequently spent a lot of time giggling at things :)

I feel a "project" coming on.....best get that scrapper off the ramps then !

I will start covering everything in penetrating spray......some pipes are a little questionable as well....so will try to save as much as I can off the scrap car before it departs.

That's one of the most interesting posts I've ever seen on Facebook in that group :)

I don't see the need for the 'plug' he describes... I can tell with just a bounce test...

The problem of using a dead sphere as a plug is the amount of LHM that accumulates in it. If you really want a 'plug' than the idea of welding a plate just inside the orifice is an excellent one...

I wonder if you could use the Vin of the Latvian Activa and the original Activa, and then compare the hydro-pneumatic components on the Citroen Service or Docbackup?
