WANTED: Front Seats for BX F Reg, also can anyone help with a spare (mechanic calls it a) Accumulator valve/Collector valve??
Citroen garage calls it a Circuit breaker. It's the piece bolted to the front of gearbox above front centre sphere. Somerset.

Hydraulics at front not working properly - very bumpy ride! Looking at the front, centre sphere as a culprit. Mechanic said that the regulator was covered in muck (LHM etc.) would likely need replacing. I'm not very technical with cars, just love driving her. I've asked the mechanic to change that sphere and see if that makes a difference - susspension at front is very hard.ken newbold wrote:You mean, Regulator valve?
What makes them think it needs a new one?
Thanks for replying
Thanks Mike, Martha (my BX!!) is going to the garage on Monday to have the front centre sphere changed - hopefully that will do the trick, but the mechanic thinks it maybe the regulator,accumulator, collector thingummy jig. Love my Citroen, but sadly not very technical!Mike E (uk) wrote:Hi, have got a spare if you are sure it is what you need. contact me via pm if you need more info

Re: Looking for Parts
If you'd like to know what's actually wrong with your car rather than the utter tripe and waffle that you appear to have had so far, give me a PM. I suspect I'm not very far from you at all.Annette wrote: Somerset.
Front centre sphere is the accumulator, and has little or no effect on the ride comfort. It could be dead flat, and the front suspension will still be soft, as it's the two spheres either side of your engine bay that do the front suspension.
Either way, do not spend cash out on a "it might be this" diagnosis. If they are a Citroen garage, they should know, not guess.
this might be a signature

Should you need seats, a pressure regulator, or decent (used but good) front sphere's then I have plenty in stock, all of which is destined for the tip otherwise.
Dependant on trim spec I may even have the correct seats, if not, I can give you a complete interior with matching door cards of several flavors.
