Hello car enthusiast, Recently a Citroen SM was on the highway in front of me and I enjoyed the sight. I would be interested in who has ever driven a Citroen SM with Maseratimotor or even today still owns one. How are they traded today? I know the current market prices but they are mostly unrealistic. I don’t want to buy one but I would still like to know from you if they are really as vulnerable as their reputation or if all this is just Gossip is ? Next to the DS (Goddess) the SM is for me the most beautiful Citroen of all times. Thanks and greetings to all car lovers. Andi

It was always the same problem after the summer break: the disc brakes of the Ro80 were fixed after 1X brakes. Since 8 cylinders are working here, the system is not free-run “on its own”. Even if the expansion is relatively easy, that doesn’t have to be. The British, where motorsport is higher than football, who have been using silicone brake fluid on their plentiful wet island for years. Compulsory for the military. Because Silicon Fluid is not hygroscopic, nothing rusts either. It’s expensive to buy, but it’s worth it. It’s no longer fixed, even after a long service life. However, all the cuffs should be renewed beforehand. There’s still the old broth that can’t cope with silicone. The things spring up and have almost no effect. There’s no indication of this on the part of the manufacturers. It’s just British. Either, you know the thing and you can handle it or not. Otherwise, I’m not sure about it. full of praise about this fluid. A test over 20 years, with positive result, that can convince. Salutations mm

Hello, how best to protect the foamed dashboards against cracking (in my case Ford Capri) ? In many vehicles of the 70s and 80s these dashboards were installed, the problem should be known. Over time the things crack up, accelerated by solar radiation. Partially I cover (my still quite well preserved) dashboard, if the vehicle stands for example at an event longer in the bounced sun, but there is no “miracle with” which plasticizers or whatever is missing get into the material again? I don’t want to use leather as it is often done, it’s not the first choice to glue the cracks with Smart Repair, there will probably be cracks elsewhere.

Porsche 914 to restore –> WO?? Hi ! My father has been wanting a 914er for years … But since he can’t quite decide I would like to give him one for his birthday in autumn … Now I would like to get help choosing … I don’t know exactly which one anymore, but it was about the 1.7L 4 Zyl. or 2.0L 6Zyl. !?!!? Can this be? Where do I get such a car cheaply ?? He should not necessarily be in top condition, but also not so that it is a yard My father would be very much fun to restore one of these …! What should you look for? Hope someone could help me with this … Greeting Kartracer

Hello, I’m not a VW expert, although I think old bullis (T1) and beetles are really great. I was recently offered a pretzels (see http://www.cwoern.de/brezel/brezel.htm), of which I only know that it has been restored, built in February 53 in Germany, 1200 machine, 6V, complete and ready to drive. Hooks on the thing, the car has to be imported to D. It should cost me 10400 Euros. Is it worth it? How much can you do for a pretzels di If we assume that the condition is an honest 3? I would be happy about a few answers.

Hello together! I wanted to buy some classic for a long time, but unfortunately my money is only enough for so-A-to-B cucumbers. However, I have now learned from a relative that he still has a sweetheart standing around in Namibia. The car is an Alfa Romeo 2000 Berlina, EZ 10/73 and in TOP condition. Kunsttück, in the weather rusts there nothing, and the car was only on Sundays between garage and church in the last 20 years 🙂 Has so 120tkm on it, unfortunately is it’s not the GTV that I find visually more beautiful sondner halt of the 4doors. And there from Africa: right-hand handlebars. Now I wonder, what is such a car worth here? The overpass costs think about the 2000 EUR, but I have no idea what to expect about customs, registration etc. Maybe I can convert the car into cash and buy what suits me better? Because I don’t appreciate the original condition so much, maybe someone at Oldie-meetings with other species should I am interested in the optics and the character, if there is the original radio in it I don’t care, and I would like to replace for example a fabric equipment with leather. (The car has leather as far as I know). So – is it worth selling? Or still drive yourself ? What do you mean ? Am like said oldie newcomer, especially in the Alfa Romeo area. Oh yes – I don’t have photos yet, but should come soon if anyone is interested.

Hello. More and more often I catch myself lately, that I see in various Oldi magazines cars, which I would like to lay down immediately. That would be so far still normal, because that was always so. But these were vehicles, which I as a child only felt terrible. 1100 Simca, R4, R11, 2CV, 204 Peugeot, NSU, Ford 15M P5, the corrugated sheet metal citroen (=don’t know the exact designation), the first VW bus (T2?) and many more. How can that be? I mean, my Lieblin I still have gstraumfahrzeuge, but now the ones that I found so bad at that time come along. And today they are so beautiful (become?!). Are you or some of you doing the same or am I going through a change of character? Greetings, Mario

Good evening, I had a nice idea when driving on the BAB tonight. And there are car pictures, AMS, MOT and how they are all called usually 100,000 km tests, of new vehicles. I (and probably a lot of others too) would be interested in how good or bad an old or young car (or older used car on the threshold there) cuts off at such a practice test. Is it, when it starts the test with 150,000 km, more susceptible than a new car? t such a vehicle over 100,000 km higher costs than a comparable new vehicle ? And such questions more. I would suggest we consider a car that we propose to the ladies and gentlemen for such a test times . I would also write a corresponding cover letter (private) by email to the leading car newspapers of Germany . What do you think of such an idea ? Which vehicle (year of construction until 1990) do you think is suitable ? I have already allowed myself a The list may be extended. If someone wants to introduce a car that I have not included in the list, please suggest it. To restrict the matter a little, I would say that it should be a vehicle between golf size and the size of the old S-classes. Furthermore, there should be a sufficient stock of the vehicle to purchase this vehicle in good condition. Furthermore, it should not be a sports car, but something that also has useful value, since toys are usually treated differently than utility vehicles. MFG Kester

Hello, soon the Oldie season starts again. So I wanted to discuss with you which of the big events this year you plan to attend. Or do you even prefer small events ? Did you even open a pearl that is still unknown yet ? Let’s hear what you think ! The well-known events I have already attached in the form of a survey . Nice greeting Kester P.S. : I gladly accept still events

Hello all!! If there was a question regarding charging control light. Car is a Fiat 1500c, Bj 1967. Has been rescued from destruction and is currently preparing the mentioned problem. The lamp does not light up when the ignition is switched on. It goes on when the engine is running. Should be vice versa. Voltage on the battery is 12.3-12,4V. Voltage on the battery when the engine is running with approx. 2-2500U 13,4-13,5. What can this be?? LiMa would have to be fine, since 13.4 is good for a DC Lima anyway. Right? The controller also lets through, otherwise I could not measure the voltage on the battery, right? The wiring should fit, has been measured. Who can help, am with my Latin at the end…. LG, Martin
