As someone new to 2CV ownership this series has been really interesting. I'm looking forward to part 3.

Thank you for another clear and well-presented demonstration. I now feel better prepared to tackle these jobs myself. 👍

[@oldnutsgarage]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stevenwilson690]

THANK YOU amazing job again ( I think the table you are using as a bench is a CHIPPENDALE!

[@oldnutsgarage]

Thanks very much for watching. The table was left in my garage by the previous owners, I hope it isn't valuable as I have ruined it now!

Looking to buy a 2cv wanted a VW beetle but the quality of aftermarket parts are poor are the aftermarket parts for the 2cv good or is their part's that are good or bad

Thanks for another great video. I have just removed the knife edges for inspection, as I have the body shell off the chassis, and I have a small amount of wear, about 1mm, on both the knife edges and the tie rods, do you think I should change them all. Thanks

[@oldnutsgarage]

Hi George, no simple answer for that. If you are doing a full rebuild then logic would suggest replacing worn components as you come across them, Having said that 1mm of wear on original ( I assume ) Citroen parts would not stop me reusing them on my own car, I would just keep them well lubricated. Additionally, some of the aftermarket knife edges are soft and wear quickly so a change would be of little benefit. Not the most helpful answer I know, but both options have their drawbacks. Thanks for watching!

[@georgeturnbull8176]

@@oldnutsgarage They are the original I think, so I will reuse them. Thanks for the advice and thanks for the £80 you have saved me on spare parts

Hello, thanx for your video. I could not hear what kind of degrease you use? It was 1:10 of what? Greetings, Eric (from Holland)

[@oldnutsgarage]

Hi Eric, the degreaser, in the orange tank is Comma Hyperclean which I find really effective. The stuff mixed at 1 to 10 is Citric acid, bought as powder and is cheap and effective for rust removal as long as you are willing to give it time to do its stuff. Thanks for watching!

[@Lupsel]

@@oldnutsgarage Citric acid, Thanx I will try that!

[@stevenwilson690]

Should there be a drain hole on the tube,I think my Dyane has one?

[@oldnutsgarage]

My Ami 8 had a drain hole but I think they were dropped later on, probably in the early 80's? I have about 6 cans knocking around the garage and a couple are early ones with locknuts on the tie rods, I will go and have a look and see if they have holes. Thanks again for watching.

[@CRBN74]

Hello. Can I ask you what do you use to keep internals lubricated? TIA

[@oldnutsgarage]

Hi Claudio, I use vegetable oil as lubricant. I believe castor oil is the original recommendation but it is hard to find and expensive. Veg oil seems to work perfectly well. Thanks for watching!
