Stinkwheel Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Nah, 65 in lane 1, me. Usually*. Think back to the time when I was in a 2CV 'pied au plancher' on the A1 when you came flying past in the Dyane. Also thinks back to the time I was also 'pied au plancher' on the M54 in a different 2CV and you came flying past in the Dyane.............just saying* Floatylight and chaseracer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was still doing errrr 70ish on the motorway (obviously I mean I was doing the legal trailer speed) never did understand why everyone thinks 2CV’s, dyanes, ami’s etc are slow.

chaseracer Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Blingo latest: it's fucking fucked again m8... Ran fine for a while following its new MAF sensor last week, then started dying on its arse coming back through Wolverhampton this afternoon. Disconnected MAF sensor: started/ran OK, though still not entirely 'right'. Back to Tame Mechanic on the morrow. Arsebiscuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaseracer Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 When he did the clutch on the Blingo, for some uncharacteristic reason not even he can fathom, Tame Mechanic managed to replace the front wheels (with rotational, directional CrossClimates) on the wrong sides. So, yesterday was the day to have them swapped back. Obviously, being late Friday afternoon, two of the ageing wheel studs decided to round off and his long bar sheared leaving the 17mm socket stuck, meaning - amusingly - he had to hammer a larger socket over it. He must have wondered why I was grinning like an idiot, but I didn't consider the situation would be helped by an explanation...

chaseracer Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 Gave the Blingo its biennial hoovering this afternoon. Being a nice chap, I did Domestic Management's staff car as well. Currently, there is about half a metric fuckload of loose aggregate in the Dyson's triple-hooha-cyclone thingy. Where DOES it all come from?

Richard Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I strongly suspect that the true purpose of Dyson's Cyclone system is to spin the dirt like candy floss and make it look as if it's picked up much more than it has. The massive cone in the middle of the dust collector helps in that regard too. Lacquer Peel and mat_the_cat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaseracer Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 The Blingo is in disgrace, as described elsewhere, having eaten its clutch cable/slave cylinder/(depending) at Newport Pagnell services on Xmas -1, thus leaving me with a box of neutrals and nothing in the way of forward motion. It is currently on the drive having a severe word with itself. This means that the theoretically-still-for-sale 205 has been promoted to daily duties pro tem. Silver linings, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaseracer Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 FOOK. Looks like it might be the pedal box. Tame Mechanic has returned from his jollies and will have a gander tomorrow. Electric glue stick action AHOY, possibly. Still, even if so, it'll be the first welding it's had since it was nailed together 15+ years ago, so not too shabby. (Well, it is, but YKWIM...)

chaseracer Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 FOOK. Looks like it might be the pedal box. And so it proved. But all it needed was clamping back into shape and the fractured cross-pin replacing. Huzzah. In other Frog shite news, Tame Mechanic (who is in fact a time-served Cit specialist under the Black Country bonhomie) has been invited to consider recommissioning the Dyane before the HubNut shindig next month. I can hear the laughter from the other side of the hill. Floatylight and Tickman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaseracer Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 Gosh, it's been a while... As related elsewhere, the 205 is now in the north country with @loserone, a fine chap who seems to be working his way through the jobs I never got around to in five years of ownership. The Blingo is on SORN; it refuses to run properly and something appears to have gone PING in the back end. Which may not be entirely unrelated to its current role as a secondary storage unit. The Dyane is being eaten by mice. doug and Stinkwheel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
