Precious. I believe all California CHP"S are multi lingual. Wonder if you can license it as a motorcycle? Wonder also if you can fish from it?

As a strange coincidence this particular Chips episode was shot mere blocks away from where I grew up and lived with the Citroën. This was the I-210 in the foothills of Los Angeles and it was used for many location shots before it officially opened. As a double whammy. the stunt double for Erik Estrada was my next door neighbor. He insisted on riding his Harley shirtless... ah, Hollywood!


What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.

Hi folks,

The Service Station called me up yesterday morning and we had a little chat about the recent Job.

1.) The washers werenīt installed by the Service Station, it was made in factory. Itīs so funny because I simply didnīt recognized this before the service (and I cleaned/polished the engine often enough... :-)).
Itīs exactly like you guys described it: It is a workaround made by S&S to prevent any belt overheating. With this little improvement the belt should last 10.000 – 15.000 kilometers.

2.) The noise generated by the bevel box is significantly reduced. They changed the oil but they recommended to use a belt spray like this every few hundred kilometers to prevent any noise generated by the belt: http://www.ebay.de/itm/38-75-1L-Keilriem...=item2ecf1fa0c4

3.) One last information about the pedal setting: The former model years they drilled holes to make it easier to move the pedal set by yourself. Since 2014 they donīt do this anymore in the factory, which makes it even harder to do this little job on your own. Anyway: Iīm very happy that the Service Station did that for me and the new position is by far more comfy compared to the position of the pedals before…

Take care!

Alex.


Cheers and have a good one! Alex

Hi Alex, thanks tip on spray. My belt hasn't made any noise yet as far as I can tell. The pedals on the later car have an extra set of holes, the rest have rubber bungs. The bolts holding the pedals are captive so moving them isn't a big deal even without raising the car. So if you need to move yours back, do it yourself, just don't overtighten. I guess the LHD version is the same maybe they don't drill them all thinking all Germans are the same size perhaps.. morgan logic drive
Happy driving Alex

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the information about the pedals. May be they just forgot to prepare it within the factory. Or: You are right with regards to the German "one size fit all" approach ;-)

Take care and good weather all the time!

Alex
