Steve,
I've got a couple of these in regular use on cars now and they seem fine so far.
They're physically identical to the original oil-filled coils, so fit the original mounting brackets and there's no need to buy different plug leads.

A friend had troubles to restart his hot 2CV , so we put a yellow accel on it as we use offroading and ..... still some troubles ?????

As he restarted the hot engine in a few minuts there was no problem but if he waited ten minuts then no restart !!!!
Hot engine being still, the heat in the heads was increasing and as the valve clearance was a bit too short, there was no compression .

Have a look at your valves gap

I'm wondering if this is fuel vapourisation, thanks to the increased ethanol content in petrol nowadays. This summer, if I have been on a long run in warm weather and stop the car, I know that it will not re-start unless I wait 20 minutes or so for everything to cool down. I have twin motorcycle carbs. close to the pots. I haven't had this problem in previous years. But then in previous years there was no ethanol added to Shell V-Power. This year, there definitely is.
