Limoges
Going to Rochechourt near Limoges, if he's not too far away could call on way there or on way back?
Well I've serviced th car myself over the past couple of years recently had an oil change/filter, new dizzy cap, distributer arm, rear bearings hubs/shoes and fanbelt over past couple of months. Brakes/tyres are good, no oil leaking up to press, flushed coolant and replaced (with a bit of radweld….radiator slightly leaky)
I have bought a new tensioner and timing belt but thought it would be a too complicated job to do just before departure??
Cheers

I read that post that's why I'm a bit hesitant with the change.

When I drained it, only 0.7 litres came out. So given that it supposed to hold 2 litres it was obviously very low on oil.

Many thanks to all the guy's who replied to my topic, I think I'm going with the old system of if it's not broke dont fix it.
I've got a full day to get where I need to be in France so I'm not going to thrash it. I will take all possible fluids in case of any problems that occur.
I'll update the topic with a few photo's when I'm back….
Cheers

Handy words to know:
casse auto (car breakers)
phare (headlight)
…not to be muddled up with:
feux (tail lights)
