Thank durksz

I have sourced two used but in very good condition strut mounts from Chevronics. If the bearing was starting to fail i would expect the...

Same thing happened to me on my TZD. It was the rusted runner
fitted to the bottom of the glass. Bought a new one from Chevronics, still needs...

This early GTi does not have a crank sensor. Timing is from the distributor position in the head and needs to be rotated to adjust.
The rev counter...

Ooh, interesting project! I liked my 14 TU and can imagine a bigger TU variant could only be more fun.

Today I pulled most of the gearbox apart, just to see how it works. I didn't remove the hydraulic block or sump, but I believe that I have a few...

Right then, small update. The potential cause of the leak was the o-ring on the throttle shaft as when I took the top off the injector pump to...

Thanks for all of the advice on this. I finally got round to investigating this and thankfully (hopefully!) was just corrosion on the plug and socket.

But at £95 a go I’ll check the dipstick

Thanks again for the advice.

I removed the cap, cleaned it all with brake cleaner and put a lot of sealant down the sides and underneath the cap,...

You've not really given much information to go off.

Firstly, how long have you owned the car, and has it been looked after?

Have you ever changed...

Wow I have a 19TZi and had issues with the K light staying on, will try that

I get my engine parts from here;

I don't think they post, so not sure how hopeful this is. They used to be listed on eBay, but I was always...

Uh oh that board looks totally shot. Marks of sparking in connectors and a few traces heavily oxidized, maybe one even disappeared? Dang, I thought...

Tell me I'm being a fool, but I was wondering will there come a time when it might be possible to use Xantia front suspension on a BX? Or is there a...

Down the left side A-pillar, at least here where we drive right ;)

is the ignition switch the same key as the rest, i had an issue with glow plugs and it was the ignition switch itself

Remove the link. Free the the 13mm nut from between and remove the 13mm bolt. You have so much rustproof on the link so one can't see the end of the...

I have tried that to no avail, annoyingly. *sigh* cable ties it is then I suppose.

Thanks thats helpful, suspected as much so now I know how to align it.

Never known the failure of a waxstat, and they all fail eventually, to affect cold start at all. You will need to look elsewhere. Your first stop...

Good luck amigo!

I have been sensible and after finding out they're bonded on, I bought myself some Captain Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure. I'm moderately certain the...

If you haven't already brought your replacement pipe I would recommend Pleaides in Sawtry to supply as they don't corrode like o/e. Also come with...

Hi Gordon

The only measurement it gave then is just level, it sounds like maybe the sender unit is now faulty (not uncommon), I had a BX 16 Athena...

I had a set of Peugeot 307 15 wheels on my Xsara, and I ended up putting them on my BX. They looked great on the car however the only problems were...

I've just taken a fuel rail off, the only o-ring at the top is on the actual injector, hopefully an easy fix. The o-rings may have hardened, so...

Thanks Vanny
Will sort out later car under winter cover now
don't use much in winter months.

I seem to remember that on later BX's there is a damper that went between the brake pedal and the dosier value. This to make the brake pedal softer....

It might be worth having a look with the knob pulled off at the keyed rotating sleeve the knob actually turns. This might be in the wrong position....

Hmmmmm what does the pre heater look like?

As I suggested a simple forum search will give you the answers:

Thanks Jabba, it wasn't leaking so left it alone. Had 2 attempts to get the system lined up, the two rubber hangers supplied were slightly shorter...

Thanks guys. I should have stuck to the old addage that if it aint broke dont fix it. I had to change the octopus so thought I would do the hc at the...

I forgot to say that the second citroen bought before 10 years and I bought this year a used xsara but it was still running almost properly

All good my local car parts shop had some, £8 each!

There used to be a kit you could buy for a buy the side of the road repair which was a flare tool for Citroen hydraulic flare and a union piece. Cut...

Nah, I don't think I will.

I thought I had replied to this a few days ago. Hmmmmm.
Anyway according to Haynes fig 13.35 the fog light relay is on the FLH wing the key to this...

I assume you don't have power steering being a 14?
I suspect you have a very worn driveshaft/c.v joint.
A worn c.v joint can make your steering heavy...

After having the dashboard in and out a couple of times, the clock is somewhat quieter now and appears to be keeping time properly so I'm not really...

Thanks BXpert - I do have that parts graphic but missed it. The two bolt holes on the shield ( radt deflector - anti recycl ) line up with the top...

I had my gti injectors cleaned by ASNU through my local Bosch service centre, the report came back that they were operating at on average 95% full...

I got wet doing the fix...

Ive never heard of a lock up? I would pop the head off first and see whats what, I imagine the camshaft has snapped in half....its much easier to...

As James has said.

The returns are just leak off pipes for any LHM that bypasses the seals. If the struts and seals are in good condition there...

I have decided not to buy him.

The money I had saved is needed for something more urgent.

Fingers crossed buddy, I will sort that issue out, have Trumpton on standby and then give it a run. I will be amazed if I get a result but will let...

Thank you for that. We've had another boy so I've not been here for a while. I'm working on my Triumph next so the BX has taken a back seat for the...
