Obviously we know what happens if you remove the entire regulator, but doesn't the same thing happen when you remove the cap? It would be a quick fix...

Right, as I am always inquisitive, and like to find the reason for all my faults, I pulled the old matrix from the header tank, and examined all the...
Bit of an odd one.... the wife's BX has done nearly 300,000 miles and she's clocked up half of that. She reckons she's never heard the fan work but...

As Brian has said fans will rarely kick in unless stuck in traffic for long periods or heavy towing. A high temp running engine will do know harm as...

They're not leaking yet, so i wouldn't worry too much, you might even be lucky & they are in good nick afterall. Good idea with your scrapper, worth...

they only run to the metal pipes down by the rear of the front subframe, so not too far, and yes, every 3 years or so is a good time to replace,...
Hmmm, noticed that on occasion when starting the car the light is on, once driving a short distance it then goes out. Any ideas on what might be the...

I was happy, but since joining this thread I feel I've died a little inside :(
Are there different cables for petrol-diesel and are they totally different or are top sections still the same? supplied garage with new top half and...
Has anyone stripped and re-conditioned a front strut? I 'won' a Citroen strut repair kit from ebay ( only one unfortunately) and I was wondering how...

Is this an exchange unit? if not keep hold of your old one as it's most likely just the brushes that have worn down and can easily be changed if you...

These guys will re-gas or uprate them to your needs, + yes different strutts were fitted to different models, break, spoiler fitted etc.
