Are you suggesting a PO put oil in the cooling system and collant in the engine 😨 Hope the flush through clears everything out

Is this going to lead to the 'what oil' question? 🤔

Also in polite company one says 'merrrcredi' rather than 'merde' as a 'gros mot'

This is the one I have on the Triumph 😁

They last the life time of the vehicle (just don't change the reg of the vehicle). Did you get it from the official site, There are others that aren't official. It should have the registration on it where in the example below it is 'ZR-8246-AB' You say 'certificat' I assume you mean the 'vignette' (sticker) for the windscreen.

The first point is are you going to or through any of the major cities that do have zones (not all do)? If not nothing to bother you. If you are going through any areas that do have restrictions Zone de Faible Emmission(ZFE) then, as far as I am aware, at the moment all zones have accepted that a car registered as 'collection' is exempt except under particular circumstances. The circumstances are the days when pollution is very bad and additional restrictions are applied. Anyone looking at your 'old' car would accept it as 'collection' whereas I have registration papers to show it is. Here just because a car is over 30 years old doesn't automatically class it as 'collection' it has to comply with a few conditions and be registered as such. In summary, donen't worry about it, load the car and have fun. On a practical note, if you use '98' E5 not every station has it these days, most but not all. This map might help.

If you mean that the whole of the part you push to open the door from the outside, then it sounds like the problem I had with the passenger door. I solved it by removing the door card and tightening up again the mechanism that retains the push button. Easy job no cost.

Same as what Doug says. Plus when I try and refit the plug the magnet wants to divert it to the side rather than letting it go back in place 😬

That's good news, thanks Colin. I can now claim it is the wrong type therefore I shouldn't fit it 😁

Why do you think it is called a GT6? Gas Temperature(ok mark) 6

Buy a syringe and a bit of tube for a fiver - job done 🤔

Simple, the French will drive long distances to get from A to B, for example 500 Kms, so with a car that does 5 per 100kms you easily know you need 25 litres for the trip and can top up before leaving home and won't need to look for a station on route. Rather than work on 20 Kms per litre where you have to divide the 500 by 20 to get the answer. Or maybe they just do it like this because they do and have always done 🤔

Do you mean on Heralds pre 13/60? The speedometer I bought is from a French 13/60. Whatever version should be fitted to a 13/60 I am definitely not going to go through the grief to fit it!

I recently bought a second hand unit in kilometres to replace my miles one and it came with that ring, a complete circle. I didn't see one fitted when I removed the unit, although I must admit I wasn't looking for it. As I didn't know what it was for I haven't fitted it. NO, I'm not going to dismantle it to fit it.

Never seen one like that before

You should have gone to Le Mans, they've had some rain to cool it down 🥶

Same here, took a while to get used to it.

That plug will take a lot to shift it, there is an 'R' therefore a resistor plug . . . . .

Bits from a 13/60 for sale in Normandy well situated for anyone going to Le Mans. : 1. 15”” steering wheel, flat, leather and boss are in good condition. The spokes were painted black by a previous owner so can’t vouch for the state of the chrome. 2. Speedometer works except for the trip is accurate on my car. Replaced simply because I wanted one in kilometers. 3. Sealed beam units, a pair, chrome, paint and metal in good condition. They work, of course. Changed because they are RHD and I need LHD. 4. Set of 4 JBW 5.0 x 13. White with machined lip, very good condition. I preferred the original steels hence why for sale. 5. 4 Blade fan. In working condition. Replaced by a 7 blade plastic one to better cope with the heat in Normandy. 6. Tonneau cover. Pale grey, zip works fine some staining. To be honest would look much better if dyed black or a dark colour. I can post photos if anyone is interested in anything. I don’t want masses of money more to clear space and find them a good home.

True, as in 'Krakatoa, east of Java'

The only reason EV sales are high here is the massive subsidy available to buyers

And better the closer you are to sea level. In my case I am at 80 something metres at home but when out and about in the 'Alpes Mancelles' or 'Suisse Normande' I do get to higher altitudes 😁 although I can't say the lack of oxygen bothers me or the car . . .

Questions being asked here in France as well about the date. In the case of Germany if I remember correctly the legislation was agreed between the EU countries then at the last minute Germany had second thoughts. It could mean the EU date gets put back.

That will be correct for Jagnut66, but to be pedantic a 13/60 uses a 13lbs one (0.9bar)

But - When did I set the mixture? If I set it when the air temperature was low it would mean the mixture was wrong when running the car in summer. Or as you say maybe not. I clearly don't have enough to do 😀
