I got wet doing the fix...

I'm quite sure it's not just about the TDC-sensor, as then the spark would come in all 4 cylinders at the same time and it wouldn't work very nice in...

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...

Can't help with most of your questions, sorry, but the receiver for the original central locking fob is up in the roof console. You will see a small...

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...

Hi,

Regarding the pipes and T connector, it may be worthwhile viewing This thread

As for the WD40 idea, it will add some lubrication but it would...

This is for a RH drive car so I think it will not fit. But the length is stated so you can compare it.

Hi,/mats thanks for info i did discover that the garage topped up air in the tyres
reckon that didn't help i will get some spheres 55 pressure roads...

If the injectors aren't firing, it might be worth checking the injector relay (next to the fuel pump relay).

The original tension wheel is no longer available and the replacement wheel I have mounted is a little smaller. That means that the right belt will...

I would invest in a carb overhaul kit, sounds like the auto choke isn't working

I have a GT as-well, and it takes about 10 seconds of cranking when...

Pleiades: I usually phone them. You can find them on Facebooh........

Sump leaks: yeh difficult to fix on some cars.I use silicone on both sides of...

When I need to get the brake unit out as it was leeking I did as above and removed top mount and then pull the engine with a ratch strap which held...

Can I ask why , BX door locks are still out there?

Thanks!
I'll nip up to the garage in the next couple of days, armed with these pics :)

Thanks folks, on the facebook page it has been suggested the black box is either a Digit or CX series 2 bulb-out detector, that does indeed plug into...

thanks guys.
i picked up a cx familale on saturday. bought it blind and unfortunately body wise its in a terrible state. anyway its now parked up...

My bad - bash would be verboten here. [-X

I had a senior moment not realizing from pics of the alternator that one of the lower mounting lugs is...

Front end I always jack mine under the subframe with a block of wood between
Back end usually under the rear beam
If your sills are solid you can use...

I use Comma 10/40 mineral based oil perfectly suitable for older high mileage turbo and non turbo diesels and quite reasonable on price, been using...

Looks about right to me.

It's starting to get a bit boring reading every antique 4x4 topic ever seen on the forum.

Bored of BXs bored of life :o

I once saw something like this myself. The GTI (and I believe the TZD) use a timed relay box for the interior lights, and they didn't work correctly....

Now for sale spare or repairs over here:

I'm glad you found the fault.

The wiring sequence, as you've partly said is 3- live (on all positions), (which is fed from the window relay(s)).
If...

Glad to be of service! It also means the lengths are on here for me to find when I have to do the next one and I've lost my notebook... :)

Some of us have fitted those wind deflectors to the ffont end. It deffo reduces the wind noise

Maybe I need to dig deeper to that. Even though this problem occurs while I accelerate. Maybe throttle position switch could cause this after all. I...

Hi Brian,

do you have a first or a second series BX? First series BX had a rely for the rear wiper, the second seeies BX hadn't ! In both cases,...

Thanks for the help gents

Finding a replacement block shouldn't be difficult. There will be some kicking around in the AX or Peugeot 205 circles. All the carb-fed TU3 variants...

Could be an aftermarker alarm system has been fitted and connected to the door solenoids. Maybe the fob battery has failed, try disconnecting the...

Hi Jaba,
Thanks for your reply!
The Digit is the same as a 19GT with a few extra electrical options, I am not aware of any differences with the...

PLease see my input of 19 oct. 18 and 6 nov. re this. it could simply be a short lenght of rubber hose you be needing.

I have a set of steels bolts if you want to borrow them whilst your alloys are out of service. Can post.

If you mean the ones up in the rear pillars? From memory they are three and half inch or thereabouts, no longer available from Citroen but similar...

It is possible, and I believe it's been done on a BX with a Pug GTi-6 box, but you don't gain anything in top gearing so no benefit for cruise. You...

I expect a pug 205/309 gearbox would fit, I'm pretty sure all 1.1 engines only had a 4sp box the 1.3 and 1.6 had a 5sp.

Thank you for that, I will put in the other one that I have will try and a new seal so its ready to go next time.

Kevin.

Thank you for that put it on high and all works on the rear brake. Just need to get the ABS light sorted!

My bad. As you pointed out in your first reply, it's the Came de commande du ralenti accéléré / denoyage part that's wrong.

Does anybody have this box mounted in his first series BX whom I could ask for fotos?

As above ^^

Some people use the 16v gearbox, only with 5th gear from a TD fitted. Lowers the revs by about 500rpm in top, I believe. It's not...
