  That car is amazing and your lift is terrifying!

  Surprisingly solid for any 56 year old car, let alone a Citroen. Really looking forward to seeing the car brought back to life, as I adore the DS/ID.

  I don't know if you realise, but the cylinders are meant to leak! The rubber boot catches the fluid and returns it to the tank. The brakes have 2400 psi. You need to be super gentle with the foot valve. Those brake pads ae the parking brake. The main brake pads are accessed through the bonnet, under the duct.

  If you were to do a video of improving the workshop and heating, lighting etc you would have a winner particularly in the UK.

  I&apos;m from the Netherlands, yes a roadtrip in a car like that would be great. While the West of the &nbsp;country seems to get al the attention we have more: In the north, Groningen and Friesland the lakes ship yards still building yachts, great sailing on those lakes.<br>More to the south Gelderland Arnhem ( bridge to far) openlucht museum hoge Veluwe with a great van Gogh Museum not as crowded as the one on Amsterdam and from there you have already met so many friends who will guide you through the country. Have fun. Thanks for sharing

  Here a long time follower of your channel from the Netherlands. Great idea to come here. I would love to buy it. And a lot of people here love the DS. As mentioned before the ID/DS club keep a record of there members. Keep up the good word. Hartelijke groet uit Nederland.

  I think this Citroen is an absolutely brilliant car. It was ahead of its time. I’ve had a couple of Citroens but I think this is still better engineered than what we have today. Brilliant video.

  I&apos;m watching from Argentina; surely someone is watching from the Netherlands. It would be very rewarding to see the Citroen driving back to its country of origin; I&apos;m eagerly awaiting that.

  Sunday morning, a cup of coffee, and a video from Harry. Not a bad way to greet the day.

  Definately worth doing the welding and service. Shes survived well.
