1953 Citroen C2 starting problem
Year: 1953
Variant: 1.1 SX

Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
The last couple of days my normally extremely reliable C2 has struggled to start. When I first turn the key it sounds like there is no way it will start but after a couple of attempts it starts.
Sounds like a simple battery fault but, today it just cut out at a junction (started immediately I turned the ignition) and the clock/date has reset to zero. Could something else be wrong?

replace the car battery and have the car charge rate tested just to see that the alternator is giving of the right charge

our C2 1.1 has had a similar problem. When this first happened I thought it was because the battery needed replacing, however, a few days after the new battery was fitted, it occured again - wipers started, panel lights came on then off again, loss of power, car stopped. I disconnected the positive battery lead and put it back on and the car started, I moved it a few yards and the above happened again!
It now has a new battery and will not start - battery doesn't turn the engine - any ideas what the cause of this might be?
many thanks
