2CV Windscreen Wipers - temporary fix! (with HubNut Dog Bonus). Part 2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- After the wipers jammed on my 2CV, I decided to swap in a spare wiper linkage, though it's also pretty bad! The original will be sent off to be refurbished. I also introduce you to the HubNut dog!
Lovely HubNut goodies can be purchased at hubnut.org where you'll also find support options.
Or, support HubNut at / hubnut or via Channel memberships: / @hubnut
Don't forget to like the video if you like it, and share with your friends if you really like it! Thank you all.

Hub Nut 🥜 and Hub Mutt. Its a guaranteed T Shirt number one ☝️ Tam.
Yes, I want a HubMutt t shirt! I
YES......love that.....HubMutt is awesome
Hub Mutt - absolutely brilliant !
Second RUclips channel there somewhere
Shut up and take my money!
I remember doing this job on my first 2CV, but being a penniless student, I had to source the parts from the scrappy. Whilst I was there, I also got 5 wheels with good tyres (Michelin X) a full very recent exhaust and some bits of trim etc, filling up my dad’s Suzuki Carry. The scrap man took a look at my bounty, and asked for the princely sum of £4! It was the days when you went car mountaineering and got your own parts off though!
Who doesn't love a bit of HubNut wiper action on a Friday afternoon!
Considering it's peeing it down here, some wiper action would be very welcome !
A bit is the word!!!
Its amazing how easy it is to repair items on a 2cv even the wiper arm mechanism is a basic design
Watching that wiper mechanism at work is mesmerizing.
Friday wipers. All set for the weekend now, it usually rains afterall. Hi to the HubMutt
Just a little bit of hubnut tonight folks blink and YOU will miss it !!! Great wiper action😃😃😃😃😃STAY SAFE
I love Elly. I wanted a 2CV of my own but they’re too expensive at the moment. Simple mechanicals but so well designed that they rarely break traction in a corner in spite of the prodigious lean (unlike the similar Renault 4). What a hoot they must be. Brill video Ian Pete 🇬🇧
Dont think we will get a reply!!!!
It's getting harder to keep up with the comments to be fair. It's almost 11pm and here I am...
You need a Datsun...... so you can have a T-shirt with Diago & Datsun on it. 🤣🤣
A very informative showing of the 2cv wipers. Very simple and functional engineering.
👍
I like the variety of hubnut. One minute he is driving a v12 BMW with lots of toys, then next thing you know, he is tinkering on a 2CV
Good fix. Can manage without brake lights, wipers, not so much. Diego is a perfect Mascot for Hubnut. Looking good.
Ian I just want to say a Big thank you. You have encouraged me to work on my car for the first time with a lot of success. Thank you keep the RUclips videos coming.
How nice of Ellie to remind me how old I'll be a few days time!
You've got to admire 2CV engineering. It always appears that maintenance can be undertaken with the most basic of tools; and a smattering of standard mechanical sense. 👍
Ian, I live on a farm, and like you I have my workshop in a farm building with the same kind of ventilated wall at one end. A big tip I can give you is to get some tarpaulin and cover that wall. I just used some bits of batten to hold mine in place - it's been there for about 10 years now. It makes the world of difference, stops the cold wind and rain blowing in. And if we get a winter where we get a lot of that fine powdery snow, it will stop everything in the unit getting covered in it. You will be surprised to see just how much of that fine snow will blow in. It settles and sticks to everything, then makes a fine mess when it melts.
I think a few people have given good advice on such matters. Ian's taken it all on board and done nothing.
Oh to have as much time as you clearly do. 😉
@@HubNut Its only early/mid September, just try to effect some sort of cover by early November
Cheers Nigel. I certainly do plan to do something, just apparently not quick for every commenter. 😉
@@HubNut Making one's pad cosy - or at minimum waterproof, is a good priority when one has wet-sensitive possessions !
Diego seems like a cool mischevious little soul 👍🏻
My Ellieversery hoodie arrived last week all well and safe. Many thanks Rachel and George. And or course yourself Mr Hubnut. :)
I will say this. It is very good quality indeed and well worth the money.
More Diego Doggo please. Very cute, I showed the H&B schnauzer gang and they agree... Especially Bella the murder schnoodle 🥰
I had no idea a needed a wiper repair fix video with my evening beer. But there you go, cheers!
The replacement motor probably just needs a clean and lube but as it's only a temporary measure I suppose it's academic.
Diego is indeed a handsome doggo!
If you take the rubbers from a swing-top-bottle you can put them on the axles before you put the wiperarms on. The rubbers (the ones from Grolsch beerbottles fit fine) will stop water coming in. Your wipers will love you for that ;-)
Yes, have heard of that trick. Must do it!
George is going to be miffed!
Yeah I was thinking about how George would take it :D
That was an unexpected treat when I can in from tinkering.......some HubNut tinkering and wiper action all in one video - Jolly good! And a Dog (on a very nice looking beach!).
Have a great weekend!👍
I'm liking this new intro with the wireless mic where you come from the back of the unit talking to the camera :D Reminds me of 80/90s Top Gear.
Channeling my inner Goffey!
Every channel needs a dog,we like Diego the dog.
A bit of lub on that replacement wiper mechanism would work wonders 👍
Absolutely agree, it would even prevent future problems
Nah. It's knackered as well. Hopefully I'll have a refurbished one by the end of the month.
Not even a dab of white grease?
Cars and Dogs! Can this channel get any better? Great name
Plus 2 sucessful fixes in consecutive videos, whatever next?
Hmmm: Car and dogs...and could the channel get any better? Well, yes, it could....obviously! .... by getting rid of the cars! Virtual bum sniffs from mine to yours. Dogue.
And i forgot about the tea! I am trying to keep it under 15 cups a day, which is difficult in these covid times
Let's have less of the boring stuff, and more of the dog‼️
Some great wiper action here! Cool we now have a HubNut dog and cat! Excellent! :-)
“Lube EVERYTHING, Raylene!!” 🇦🇺
A brilliantly simple and completely self contained unit. Combining the best bits of both units might be the trick. Cute dog too (mmm - merchandise?). Cheers
Love the simplicity and easy access of the wiper assembly, I think 2CV life could really appeal to me! Nice to meet Diego too!
Omg Diego is awesome- having two Long Haired Chihuahuas myself - absolutely love him ❤
Very cool. Excellent illustration of the innards of wiper motors that non-mechanics really don't get to see.
And lovely to meet the channel dog. What a cutie!
Excellent little tinkering video for lunchtime, and nice to meet Diago.
I had a mk2 facelift Clio sport. To get to a split screenwash bottle I had to remove the scuttle panel, the wipers and complete mechanism and I think the fuse box to access it. I think it also recommended removing the bonnet. I didn't bother with that though. Pig of a job for such a pathetic repair on a split bottle seam! You can't beat the simplicity of the older cars!
The inside of the garage already looks like you’ve been there for 40 years😁😁😁😁 because, HubNut....
Hi Ian, good quick fix lucky to have a spare part, and welcome to the hubnut dog.. He is sooo cute.
Ian your going crazy fixing things,im sure that ellys OK now. but better to get the overhaul done, good to see some more tinkering HubNut style, that stash has come in very useful... take care
At the base of the spindle there should be a bolt or screw that holds it together. If you loosen it you should be able to adjust the bit where the shaft from the drive motor attaches to the spindle. Rotating that bit a small amount will get proper wiping coverage and end the locking issue. Or loosening the nut that holds the spindle in place and rotating the spindle assembly a small bit will do the same thing.
Just remember a small adjustment at the spindle makes a large difference at the end of the wiper arm.
Wear is the problem that the wipers jam. Luckily, you have someone doing the overhaul.
That's hilarious! We have a Jack Russell cross ourselves! Rodney is his name.
Cheers. And sorry for forgetting the channel shout-out in the mailbox! Knew there was something I'd forgotten...
@@HubNut it's no hassle, man. It's your gig at the end of the day so it's fair enough. I might send you some stickers though if you want them?
Love the wee dog. 🐶 Maybe he should have his own mailbag. 🤔 Oh, maybe not.
Innuendo ahoy! but I'm far too sensible to go there. Still loving the tinkerage vids Ian. I feel George maybe a bit jealous.
I used to love TUC biscuits. I didn't know they were still made.
Obviously not been shopping for a few years. 😉
Great video tinkering yay what I miss
Amazing, we have a Russell chee waa waa Cross almost identical and he’s called Dave.
With the possibility of even a properly set up wiper linkage getting blown past its field of travel by extreme crosswind, perhaps a suitably sized rubber block glued in place under the linkage might be a good preventative measure.
Great video Ian. Your channel is brill. Pete 🇬🇧
Diego & George the Hubnut mascots.
Oh dear, I'm not sure oil and water mix very well.
Ian, try removing the rod/spindle assembly from the motor and pressed framework, and refitting it with the spindles on opposite ends... it's only a thought, but it might be the problem.
Chihuahua Gigante! Oh, and nice wiper action...
Wipers and A Dinky Dog.... Have a fantastic day
0:53 looks like the top receiver from a sub machine gun. “This was also fitted to a MAT-49 SMG which suffered similar linkage issues with the charging handle”
I've been watching old Thames TV 70s/80s car reviews on youtube and a thought came to me, as brilliant as your reviews are I think they could be improved if you wore the fashion of the era of the car. Every one knows how fond you are of a "kipper tie". just a thought. Keep up the good work.
HubMutt! I like that! He's almost as adorable as Elly! :-)
Good Dog.
Who else flinched when Mr H went to open the door screwdriver pointed at the paint work?
So simple to work on that car. Imagine trying to do that on our Jaguar XF lol.
Nawww Diego is very cute. He could fit in Twk with you!
Twc. Dont tell her I spelt her name wrong.
That is incredibly simple to get at. A good many other cars of that era, and beyond, are no where near as simple. Some require you to practically stand on your head inside the car and get up under the dash to gain access.
just drill a hole and use a long bolt and a nut or two to act as a limiter preventing over travel of the arm
It will be fine - it never rains in Wales :) .
Myrtle before the vectra for merch, poor thing getting no love!
Definitely some wibbly wobbly spindles there, as for why that arm gets so straight, it could be that something has shifted and needs nudging back, but I'm sure that'll be fixed... :)
As for Diego, hmm, he's no George, that's a given... :P
Lovin doggy. 🐶
Welcome hubnut dog 🐕.
We have a dog like urs too. We have a maggie
👌 we want more foxann 🤓
First there was Top Gear Dog. Now there is Hubnut Dog (HubMutt was rather genius). Maybe Diego could be a parts retriever?
YET AGAIN I'M ASTOUNDED BY HOW BASIC A 2CV IS MY GODS! i think the only thing that might be worce is the old rally car system (or maybe russain/other country that has rain) is shoe laces/string attached to the wipers and being pulled back n fourth, the other being a window wiper or those long handled brooms or rubbery things brooms are also from,
Looks like the sheet metal supporting the wiper shaft bearing is bent on that side, putting the wiper crank further from the motor than it's meant to be.
Stupid google doesn't notify me anymore when channel's post.RUclips is google in my opinion. Oh well, do love The HubNuter repairing archaine equipment.
A bit of Pulley Elixir at the pivot points might speed things up a bit on the slow wipers....
Hey at least the doors have a nice thud when closing!
Comparing the two mechanisms the connecting link on the bad side is too short, I'm guessing a previous owner has meddled with that in the past. Could it be a connecting link from a LHD car maybe?
Oh, I love Tuc's Save me some!!!
Entertaining as usual
George will not like that last section !
Not a mention of masks or mayhem..tinkering, tea and cake should be the new normal..thanks ian.
Greetings Diego. The best thing to happen to this channel in years 😂🦴. (Only joking, but nice to meet the full family). Has he met George?
Ninja fast hands
No! Hub Nut is all about the cats!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was half expecting you to get your finger crushed as you pointed a bit close.
Thankfully not though, I also now have a cup of tea that has brewed for 6 min 10 sec :)
Yep, I did flinch a bit when he did that. Those wiper mechanisms can exert more than enough force to cause nasty injuries.
Suggest putting some Rainx on Ellys windscreen before using her, it will help minimise wiper usage. :)
It doesn't work. 2CVs aren't aerodynamic enough!
A nylon sleeved pin stopping the arm traveling too far down would stop that problem
Just adjust the centre arm backwards or forwards a few mm
My DAFs n/s wiper spindle is seized in the bushing such that the whole damn thing moves in the panel hole. Heating, quenching with oil, WD40 (other penetrating lubricants are available) even hammer have been tried without success so far.
Is the dog a Chih-russle or a jack-uahua. Either way he is he is a handsome devil😆
those wipers work better than my 75 beetle like your dog have similar only crossed with pomarianian dont trust him off the lead you will never catch him
I'm sorry - I just saw the title (in brackets) and then fast forwarded to 5:23 for the dog. You can keep all yer cars and good looking women Ian. It's Diageo (or maybe just plain 'Diago') that gets my thumbs up for this vid. If it's _Diageo_ , then even better naming it after the owner of a few Scottish Whisky distilleries!
... and Diageo own Guinness - which is brewed at St James’ Gate - Diego being one of the Spanish equivalents for James! (People doing the Camino de Santiago can get a stamp on their Camino “passport” at Guinness’ gate in Dublin, as the first stage of the Camino. So there !!! ) Welcome Diego !
Hi Diego!
Ive looked at the video... alot. It's almost as if the wiper thats locking up: has the arm that feeds it, be too short, so pulls the spidle further round than it should be, or the timing of the main motar is out, compaired to the angle of the rods, if you look at the perpandicular rods the one from the spare, the motar is further round the clock face 20 past, comapried to 15 past. I don't know if any of these would make a difference, just thought i'd share my thougts.
Yeah a new one is some where to be found. Like a new pair of glasses for a human.
Rich&2 carnivorous kitty cats 🐅🐈😻😸LA.CALIF USA 🇺🇸
I was expecting a "well done Elly" but it was only a partial fix. Did you say you've got some classic Ford videos coming up? I hope one's a Sierra.
Hub Nut DOG = Vectra
It's George i feel for. How could you?🤭
You can see the spindle play on the drivers side arm.
Yes, deffo - either the link is considerably too short or the wiper spindle too far away from the motor. I'd suggest extending the linkage #welding.
It might be that they've done it on purpose in an effort to get a little more throw on the wiper - but what the result is is poor engineering.
Diego, looks cute but I suspect he's a bit of a man eater really.. 🙂
Never ceases to amaze how simply put together a 2CV is.
Is it possible to move the working motor to the working linkage?
