The 1.6i was the only UK 1.6 petrol version of the injection model AFAIK and started in either very, very late 91 or early 92. There is at least one...

I use silicone, the high temperature variety, for either gaskets or flues.

After I read this I remembered there was a tube of instant gasket laying...

From memory (I did a batch of them a while back) it's actually easier to do them with a big vice - I've got a press and it's hard to get it all lined...

Wouldn't it be simpler if you want to do this to use the heater that Ford use on diesel that heat by glowplugs?

I think the heater he is referring...

Blimey - that's good!

Hi,

I used a set from a motor factors came in about £8 and came with a cone to go over the ball joint, only done the drivers side so far as the n/s...

Thanks very much.

I think the issues with the fit on RHD cars was the exhaust manifold fouling the steering rack etc, from my research the carbs should just bolt on -...

Thank you both for the advice. I may take you up on your offer Jaba re the plipper etc and see if I can get it working. In the meantime I'll have a...

Thanks re spec of car, so what does an Athena have or have not, where does it fit in, looks quite sporty with spoiler and seats are quite smart too.

Won't make much difference. It's just a little silencer, and plenty of 1.9 cars came without them. The exhaust may be very slightly fruitier without...

You could calculate the approximate max load by comparing the distance between high and low position of the suspension to the travelling distance of...

Nuff said Kitch.

Following this with interest! As that troublesome BX Estate I have got has now decided to drop at the rear quite quickly when parked. So much so it...

Hello, I did hear that for every gallon of petrol burnt that a gallon of water was produced???? Go figure!
Cheers.
Geoff.

So I take it you already had it in mind that this was potentially the problem and assume you damaged the sump the day the lights came on if...

That would be an easy fix if it was the loom that links via the boot. Problem is which I think has been lost in translation is that it IS the main...

A noisy hydraulic pump is generally a good sign that it's on it's way out, the internal lobes and springs wear, doubtful and expensive for a new...

they are still available from Citroen l/h side 95 496 072 r/h/side 95 604 346.

The “BX Project” has been mentioned as a resource. What is the URL?

Thanks, y’all.

Thanks for all the information guys, definitely something to look into. I'll check my pivot arm tomorrow.

They may be different on my late TD (with the fuel filter on top of the thermostat housing), but it's more likely just my memory failing me!...

For time being i have left it with just one fan working on the rad switch and fitted a manual override on the second, sat in traffic last week for a...

Thanks for confirming. Just need to get steering alignment sorted

There are a few things that can cause this, bx's with fuel injection hate any type of air leaks pre throttle body even the tiniest leak will cause...

Alternator arrived this morning, but it seems that Peugeot 406 alternators aren't all compatible after all - the 2 mounts at the bottom are too close...

a lot of this i am going to have to go through with the changing of seals and swapping of compressor oil.. thankfully i have manifold gauges and a 2...

Mine is defo pump driven as there is a PAS pump ( belt driven) on the bottom left hand side of the engine, i suspect i may have 2 separate issues...

Im guessing the leak on the o/s/r is from the return pipes which sit just above the rear beam, there is a rubber Y connector up there which breaks...

Where did.you get them remade ?

Alan

Not me, it was Chevronics who had them remade.

Depends on whether you want it patched up for MoT, or whether you want a proper job.

Patch up for MoT can be done by dropping the axle and plating...

Thanks for suggestions - I think I worked out where these washers come from. The three 2 cm washers are probably part no 694677 - one of these came...

Thanks folks - will assume the wiring isn't a problem! I'd have been doing well to dislodge it without realising, although there's a fair amount of...

You could thread some (compressible) tubing into the seal; or alternatively a new seal is only a few quid per metre. Woolies seem to be good value....

Like most tools from Poundland-they are made from bread and butter.

Centre console will be fine. Only held in by a few fixings, and they're pretty robust. Also the same as used on the mk2.

Won't be under there, of...

It all depends on how good you are at changing engines and If you have all the bits you need.

I did this just for a bit of fun and it took me weeks...

@ Mat.... So your level gauge works. I suppose it should as you retained the TD setup. I do have the oil temperature and pressure working as well as...

/\ I didn't look at them all - yes the wear lip so soon is a worry.

For the sake of £7 I wouldn't be even asking the question, Gates all the way!

See here for what I did to source orings :

The damping is 'set' by the diameter of a drilled hole - sounds like rubbish to me too!
That is not really the case. See this topic on FCF

Don't let the parts counter tell you that Dex 3 is an updated version of Dex 2. It's not compatible with the ZF box in the BX and will destroy it....

I have replaced this pipe on my t/d using 10mm and a short length of 12mm fuel line with a 12mm to 10mm reducer elbow just above the hyd pump seems...

Hi all

Quite a strange one this... When cornering to the left at medium or high speeds, for example going round a roundabout, the engine splutters...
