 Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Finally got around to putting the new headlamp bar on the shed that I got from 2cv City as a freemans - bit narrower than standard and needs adjusting slightly on offside for wing to fit - original Citroen ones have a flat spot on them - so I persuaded the same spot with a lump hammer! Seems a lot more solid and hopefully the lights won't judder around like they used too.....

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Went to DHL office to pick up new camshaft for van. Rebuild van's engine and hey presto it works again. Thought I had to buy new van but 117 euros for camshaft and 1/2 days work and back on the road.

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Luckily valves are vertical to camshaft. Took head off and checked all the valves. There was a mark on all pistons but no damage. All OK. Thankfully

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Rifitted the reconditioned gearbox and engine to J... cheers for the help Jono.
Connected the wiring and turned the key... after a few attempts and a suck on the fuel pipe I succeeded in getting a large spark from the wiring loom and then silence.
Bugger.

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? I've only had my 2CV a few days so still getting used to it all. The other day I managed to lock myself in the back, today I tinkered with it and fitted a nice new tax disc holder
