Hey all.

The cables do wear and get noisy and the speedo head can do likewise too. Have you tried disconnecting the cable at the speedo end for diagnosis...

Since one of the front struts on our GTI is leaking badly and I have obtained a good second hand one I am planning to swap them tomorrow.
Can anyone...

Silly question - how do you know it is leaking badly? Does the LHM go anywhere but back to the tank via the strut returns when the strut is tired? (I...
Investigation of a clunk on my BX 4x4 estate revealed the middle subframe bolt, UK offside - that's the forward of the pair of bolts that pass...
Last post
The subframe bolts are the same on the 2wd & the 4x4, or at least on the mk2 cars, so one should be easy enough to acquire. I’d personally remove the...

If you have rebuilt a gearbox you are more skilled than I but the mention of GL4 and sychro problems really screams out to me as on my other car love...

Hey all!
I am once again asking for some advice on behalf of a friend. This time its about the plastic trim/cladding in the boot. They removed all...

They’re a bit tricky & fiddly to remove without damaging anything. You actually need to remove the C pillar plastic cover first, it’s held on with 2...
Good evening fellow BXers. Question regarding my 1993 BX 1.9d with the BE1 gearbox. There is up and down movement/play on the clutch fork which comes...

From what you say I reckon you have a problem with the forked lever bush. It should fit securely to a ball joint which is part of the gearbox...
Hello everyone!
So this is an unusual post for me, as I'm asking for a friend. His BX is a 1984 BX 14. The problem we're having is that he can't get...

Push the door card in, and also the contacting plastic ring. This should reveal a pin through the spindle. Push it out and don`t loose it, then...
This has now arrived and planning on doing this shortly. Some sites mention a rubber seal that goes on the end between pipe and caliper. Chevronics...

1) Unfortunately, no, all BX vehicles use the rubber seal. They’re not like conventional vehicles, so there’s a rubber seal between the unions, it’s...

Mine does as well. Also when main dealer enters the VIN directy off my V5 it shows VIN invalid. I think Citroen have been doing some house keeping on...

Not sure on that, but if you can source an xud9 bx 1.9n/a camshaft you can use it on an XUD7TE head, it just makes it more torquey at lower rpm's but...
