I got as far as 27.37 without sniggering at your antics, but when the heat exchangers made your life difficult..... These are your best videos, seeing you faffing around with tools etc., great entertainment, let's hope this element of your personality still appears on your ANZAC adventures. Big like for this video.

FYI When you have a V12 Jag and need to change the starter motor you have to take off the entire fuel injection system, half the exhaust system and drop the steering rack, AND one of the starter motor bolts can only be accessed from above and turned 1/16(turn) at a time. Pure joy!.

Why does the disorganised chaos of your 'emptied' and 'tidied' garage look so familiar to something much closer to my home ? :). Whoever said the plan of battle never survives the first engagement had it exactly right when applied to classic car fixing. I recommend you try listening to the music of The Running Mates on KZbin. for pleasant aural relaxation whilst fixing ! Brilliant Saturday morning viewing with a big mug of tea.

In fact we use to seal all the exhaust conecctions to avoid leaks ,mostly at those two halves braces ,that tend to get loose or not to fit very accurate .I used to lightly tap on them with a sof hammer as I thight the bolts so helping them to mate together .

Here in the Río de la Plata zone 2 CVs made by Citroen of Argentine (called here 3CVs ,with 630cc M-28 engines) had a different air filter and carry the spare wheel in a support into the engine compartment together whith jack and jack handle and rear hatch comprises the glass window and hinges at hight body cross member.other difference is a tube frame that holds the front part of root and the latches that fix it at windscreen upper side,they had too plastic trimming at upper door hinges,and rear doors had a soft plastic "bellows" fixed to door and to door opening at front to avoid kids fingers catched within the hinge. And rear doors glasses can be opened from the rear by means of a offset latch. The support of front lights can be tilt up-down by means of a rod with a knob at dash and a treaded nut at support. Heating ducts and ports are closed -opened by rigid rods , one for the right side and other for the left side and defrosting . Bumpers are different too and the under engine protection plate runs from bumper to the cross exaust pot.Brakes are drum not disc. And have universal joints at axles no homocinetic joint.(This come as aftermarque improvement).Some of the differences I saw between Ellie and ours 3CVs... .

Well, having watched this 2CV playlist (61 videos so far), you've convinced me that a 2CV is not quite as bad as the impression I gained whilst travelling as a rear seat passenger in one in the late 1980's, i.e. basic, antiquated, noisy, smelly, rattly, unreliable, unstable, draughty and damp. I now know that they're not so unstable after all! Thanks, Ian, for the improved appreciation. 😁 Right, now I'm off to find the Croatia trip videos which are missing from this playlist... Imagine doing the same run in an electric converted 2CV. Would it then be an ECV? Enjoy Kiwi Land!

@@yanndenis5628 The Frenchness does have a certain charm. I like to think that French engineers have a sense of humour: the Renault Master sump plug, for example, has a square hole in it, and not a standard bolt-headed plug of course. Is it the same size as a mechanic's 3/8" or 1/2" socket wrench? Of course not! It's actually a completely non-standard 8mm square hole. And why? To make people remember that it was designed by a Frenchman. The oil filter is superbly accessible, but the cover needs a 96mm 18 flute tool to remove it. Non-standard again of course. I ordered FOUR of these in all and one after the other the seller told me "Oops, sorry, we haven't got one after all" and refunded me. Why? BECAUSE THE FRENCH HAVE BOUGHT THEM ALL SO I CAN'T HAVE ONE! Probably. I used a chain wrench after the 4th refund. It went ok but it made me realise that I have to think more like a Frenchman. Hubnut will understand.

This what puts me off having an mg. I know not your thing Ian but I have always loved the shape (and idea I guess). With an old car there will always be some thing be wrong. (I have to say my tranny connect really has spoiled me rotten for being totally trouble free in 14 years.)

A leaking throttle spindle is not going to make the plugs black (rich), when was the last time you cleaned the air filter? You do know that this will do, that will do, eventually join forces to leave you walking? It's very hard to tell with the poor audio quality but that engine you fitted seems to have a camshaft speed tapping noise. I first noticed this when you were at the Citroen 100 do and heard many other 2CV motors. Yours has a definite tapping sound.

Unless the leaking throttle spindle makes it too lean, meaning the mixture has to be set richer to get it running acceptably, then leaving it too rich at other throttle/rpm settings.

I used to service my car once a year. Roughly 10 to 12K miles. Took out spark plugs, bead blasted them, checked gap and back they went. Same procedure second service. Third service the electrodes started looking a bit thin. Still fine but cheap enough to replace. In the 30 to 40K miles my plugs lasted you would have gotten through at least ten sets. Utter madness. OK a bad engine tune etc and it is possible to shorten plug life a bit but not that much!!.

2CVs have always been hard on spark plugs, due to the wasted spark design. At a couple of quid each every 3000 miles, it's hardly breaking the bank...

Gosh, the front of Elly must just about disassemble itself by now :-) It did look quite easy though, or did you just make it look easy with dastardly camera trickery. I want to mention the piece of wire around the handlebars but I won't, I have self control, yes I do. Cheers and well done :-)
