Parts book wanted

Does such a thing exist, or are they microfiche only? Need one to cover a 1990 and 1991 TZD estate.

I've got parts books for pretty much everything else I've got, and they're really useful. Would love to have the same for the BX.

Never seen a full parts book for the BX, only microfiche, although there were binders for fast moving parts and main body panels. Better to register with the Citroen parts website at http://service.citroen.com and get access to all the BX parts information that was included on the microfiche.

I presume you already have this pdf............

Its petrol of course but is nevertheless a usefull resource as all the non-diesel engine parts are common.

I've got an EPC (electronic parts catalogue) bought off Ebay, something like this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CITROEN-TIS-EPC-W ... 1c131eceb1

It was a bit of a fiddle to load on the computer and to navigate around but it's been a boon to me trying to ID all the parts from a job lot from their part numbers. It also has the workshop manuals for the same vehicles included. Gibbo.

Thanks everyone - I didn't know of any of those options. I've got an EPC for my MX-5 and as Gibbo says, it's a bit fiddly to get installed but does come in handy.

Me too - but there seems to be bits missing - such as the wiring diagrams. Are they included in the 2008 version - I think mine's a 2009 so they may have been deleted from the TIS by then.

They're on mine but they take a lot of finding and when you do find them you need to be a scientist to understand them.

I'm sure Brian can just about manage to get his head around such complexities?

Brian can just about manage

TV systems - no problem, fire and gas shutdown systems - easy peasy, anything else except radar - in my sleep, car circuit diagrams - UUURRRGH. Even the Haynes Citroën manual has a very small print note saying to the effect that 'these diagrams are typical of what you can expect to find' - and they are direct copies of the official Citroën manual. The little widget I was fiddling around with last week (coolant low device) is not to be found on any of the CCT diagrams I have !

Quite apart from Citroën's 'green wire syndrome' 'just about' is pretty close to the truth
