Yes, the static belts are adjusted to suit - they were a pain to carry passengers- nobody 'gets' it so I was going to fir the right inertia reel ones at one point. Someone breaking a BX could supply them.

Whaddya mean the elec windows still work? - I stated that above!^^

AFAIK the only thing that doesn't work is the water level warning light as mentioned, and the electric oil level gauge (never got round to doing that but I did check the connections in the sump)

That H van looks ACE!!!!!

They all do that. I've had over a dozen BX's and I now think it's a design feature!

Hi guys (newbie here again!!)

Does anyone know what the BS or RAL number is for the rear quarter lights or know where/who might know this information? All I know is the numbers are something to do with the level of tint...perhaps like a measuring method?? Anyway I’ve been told to obtain this information by the company as they see it as the only hurdle, so any help would be gratefully received.

Also I managed to get the photos uploaded to photobucket if anyone’s interested?? Don’t worry I’m not going to start to bombarding all of you with them! But the links below for those interested. There’s some more overall shots of the car and lots of close up of the lovely rust.
