#1 is nearest the radiator....

our motors aren't in front to back, they're in sideways, the front of the motor is the radiator end

Robbie I thought about that just the other day. My thought - "I think I put the numbered leads on Robbies car on in the wrong order!!"

My defence - renaults number them the other way.

Ah, but on a Renault, #1 is the flywheel end.
At least they are consistent, the old Renault 750 from the `50s was like this too.
It's called Gallic charm...

yeah.... but what sort of a knob would drive anything from across the channel?

When Citroen were building Traction Avant's, they had 2 factories, one building them metric, the other imperial - knobs

ahhhh......the interior smell of an old British car....

I would never call myself a french car enthusiast, but I have owned a Citroen BX and 2 Peugeot's a 205 & a 405.

Loved all three of them for very different reasons.

So when was this forum renamed?
"Frenchcars.com"?
