Thought I'd start a new thread for this as couldn't see anything on this particular subject anywhere:
What should the main sticker be on the top of the LHM reservoir on a '74 DS? It seems like there are two types - a green one in french, 'NIVEAU: voir notice ~ LHM' and a yellow one, showing a container with simply 'LHM'. From what I can glean, on green painted reservoirs you got the green sticker on French domestic cars while all export models tended to get the yellow sticker. When the later non-painted reservoirs came out, you just got the green sticker regardless (presumably all part of a cost saving as the unpainted reservoir doesn't have any of the blurb printed on its side either). Does that sound right as I'm wondering what should go on mine, long since washed away...
While on stickers, I'm also curious about the late type injection air cleaner sticker. It looks like the same one as on the carby type filter. It mentions washing and dipping the element. What exactly was in there in the way of an element originally? Mesh/ foam? It was an old paper element I took out and a new paper one I put in (Honda CRV 2002 onwards very good fit ). Not going to be washing and oil soaking that! ~ All the parts drawings I've seen only show the earlier/ carb type air cleaner.
I've been meaning to ask these questions for ages but never got round to it, hope they're easy ones...
Cheers,
Richard.
