You've done the opposite

Don't knock it 'til you've tried it I say

The four switches around the gauges illuminate orange/red, with the clock, I reckon it would look quite nice at night... And it's being driven mostly in the dark now. And I don't know why, but the speedometer is almost 100% accurate, and doesn't wobble either.

Was tempted to try a pair of late 205 stalks as well, but maybe a step too far?

Just buy a 205! Oh, wait....

Seriously though, I like the subtle individual touches on it, not over the top mods.

Well, If I were to start modifying (Which I'm not!) the 205 in the same way, I'd put BX dials in it... I guess I just like to be different

Like to be different eh? Maybe something along these lines?

How depressing does this picture make the small village of Wollaston look?

This really is a grim time of year... Okay I knocked the saturation down a tad on the pic, but it really feels like all the colour has gone from the world

Dunno about that..........but does suggest that BX drivers are deficient in parking skills.

Really? it was rebuilt not long before I had it, and i did no miles in it...

Don't you have a couple of spares?

Matt H · Post by **Matt H** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 10:01 am

Well, it had a slight tap, which developed into a knock... Haven't really investigated. Going to have a proper look/listen at the weekend. I would guess it's an oil-starvation issue via a duff oil pump or dodgy tappet or something.

I really should buy a spare engine and get it rebuilt for when one of them does go 'pop'. Big(er) valves FTW

A bit tight on cash at the minute, but my circumstances are currently mid-change. When it settles down in the new year I should hopefully have a bit more cash to spend on making the BX(s) nice.

It always had one slightly noisy tappet but its been like for ages. Hoep it gets sorted.

Hmmm, I always wondered what a BX with a 306 GTi-6 engine/gearbox would be like...
