It sounds like you're only intending to be there for the Saturday then (?). As I'll be selling in the flea-market each day, I want to be there for the whole event, so, (if I decide to come home for the 8/9 days between the two meetings), I'll probably get the ferry from Dover to Dunkirk early on...

The Waggel meeting is not the ICCCR. I've been to the Waggel meeting a couple of times (several years ago) and agree that it was a bit weird (and I probably won't go again). The ICCCR is held in a different country every 4 years and is a huge meeting with thousings of participants. Last time it...

You've got a 2CV too, haven't you Paul? German National 2CV meeting, near Belgian border, end of July. ICCCR, Netherlands, 2nd weekend in August. I'm sure either would welcome a R4. I believe there's also a joint 2CV & R4 meeting in Belgium over the last weekend in July, but I can't remember...

Last year I compared about 10 different companies who offered agrred value classic car insurance. For my cover needs (4 classic cars, incl commercial vehicle and lhd, business use for my business and my wife's, breakdown cover including in Europe, etc), Peter James came top with level of cover &...

Disappointed. A couple of hundred 2CVs, some Panhards, a few Moggy Minors, a few Scamps, even a Teslar, but not one Renault at the Chichester meeting.

Will you be going then Paul? It's not just the 5th June. It starts on the 1st and ends on the 6th. I'm already there now (Tuesday night), helping to set up (& setting up my trade-stand, to get the best spot before the big companies arrive on Wednesday!). Loads of stuff going on over the next...

Just a week to go. Camping from Wednesday to Monday. I'll be there from Tuesday, helping to set up.

Is that all it failed the mot on? If you take it for an mot somewhere else, you'll have to pay the fee again plus you run the risk that it might fail on something that the first place missed or had a different opinion of. If I was in your shoes, (and if it had passed on everything else), I would...

It is definitely not a legitimate reason to fail an mot. (The only relevance of a km speedo in an mot is that the Vosa computer system gives the mot tester the option of entering whether the odometer reads in miles or kilometers). Ask the tester to show you where in the tester's manual it shows...

2CVGB's National meeting is being held in Chichester, on the south coast, this year. It's a 5 day event with lots going on including an invitation to other classic car clubs to attend and show their cars on the Sunday. Why not get some R4s together and join in with all the 2CVs, Dyanes, Amis...

Advertise it (free) on my website, if you like.

The coil won't be the cause but could overheat as a result. It sounds like a circuit that is normally only fed via the ignition switch has been connected to anothet permanent positive supply, which is therefore also feeding other circuits on the switched side of the ignition switch. What...

If anyone is selling any french classic, you can advertise it free on my website, with as long a description as you like and several photos. I'm not sure whether I'm allowed to put a link here but you can guess the website address from my forum name! (Wanted ads also free).

You were out when I came round yesterday Paul. I'll pop one round another time. Do the Corteco ones have any sort of lettering/marking on them? If not, I suspect that these might be the same.

They don't have any brand name on them but they do look identical to google images of corteco ones. I'll be visiting your neighbours (Prestige) in the morning, so I'll pop round with one for you to see.

I now have the sump-plugs with magnets, for £4.59 each, on my website. They are not as good quality as the £18.37 ones: It appears that the magnet is glued on rather than an interference fit into a recess, which is what I was expecting but they appear to be well-attached. I assume that if one...

Ok.

Got it. Will do.

I'll be putting in an order to one of my wholesalers on Monday morning, so I'll add 10 of them to the list. I'll sell them for £4.60 each (plus postage), so that they're 1/4 the price of those other ones. I should receive them on Wednesday (possibly Tuesday). I'll add them to my website shop...
