Maybe Ian can tell me if this is the bit the 4X4 up here requires to get it going?
BTW, are 4x4 gearboxes exclusive to those models only or do they have a seperate transfer box which makes the difference between them and 2wd versions?

Both.They have a gearbox unique to this car,I think I once heard that it originates from the C25 van and a transfer box to give you 4 wheel drive.This is the thing that self destructs on the BX 4x4 causing many a premature trip to the big car park in the sky

The item thats gone on the white 4x4 Billy is the gearbox to transfer box spline shaft.

Its not the item which is on ebay.

I've got a spare one of them too

Vantage Citroen had one for sale a while back for £600

.You would have to be a serious enthusiast to pay more than the car's worth for this oily bit

If mine goes that will almost certainly be the end of its life as a 4x4.

I've got a 2wd subframe in the garage ready!

Just testing

Fair to assume then that neither gearbox or transfer box are any further use then Ian?

Don't throw away the torsen diff cos they're about £1000 new

Plan is to get car scrapped asap now. Ian, have you finished with it? I know your exhaust is still the other side of town so that won`t be going anywhere.

I would like the Hydraulic pump Billy but i will not have time to come up and get it.

is this the white 4x4? I may still have access to the crashed Pug 405 4x4 for some rather nice running gear for this shell..

What condition is it in now?

Ian_Fearn · Post by **Ian_Fearn** » Tue Feb 28, 2006 6:14 pm

Its not a runner now as i've had the fuel injection system but the shell is still complete.

Theres no interior either.

..and the wheels, twin headlights, bonnet (with `Oily replica` bonnet bulge), side repeaters, side skirts, front bumper, seat belt cushion doo-dahs and countless other bits I`m afraid.
