That may be worth a try but won't account for the foul smelling exhaust.
Might be worth checking around the filler neck and where it joins the tank,...

There should be a package heading down your way fairly shortly! Hope to see the next instalment in this thread in due course... 20200709_171353.jpg

Well the fleet cull continues, the Gold marina has been sold to a anew home, I am considering parting with something else, maybe the TZI, im not...

Yes, camera sees more than human eye, so it's probably just infrared light added to the picture. And also flywheel explained, this is new info for me...

Well, I finally found a front left (n/s) caliper that matches the refurbished Bendix one I have for the other side. Twas tricky to find, but got...

Ready to go, and at the 2cv 24h race. 0CB8A341-1AA4-4DA9-8191-623A82695A22.jpeg 6120BB0F-BB4F-4C8E-8554-7D0F050398F3.jpeg...

I'll give that a try! Thanks

Well it's been 6 months since the last blog update so where to begin ?!

Firstly, I've hit 250,000 miles now, a few thousand more and I'll have done...

Thats awful - i read the whole (!) topic on saturday (11.), and i was thinking no, he is not gonna sell it. Nobody sells a car with so much time and...

You probably have some pipes at wrong places, at the regulator, would be my guess. The pressure limiting is not working right. Do you have a...

I think the problem is, BX's are great for actually driving, so it's tricky too keep the mileage down.

Just done 2000 in miles and could have kept...

Not bothered with the wheel trims Tim. I have another set that are quite nice so just left the old ones on for now. The paint's not brilliant Tim but...

Everyone slags off living down south, but I can use the same tyres all year round lol!
Well, not quite everyone, Rich. Apart from the aforementioned...

Lifted from Pistonheads, so excuse any egg-sucking instructions to hardened BX losers.....sorry, enthusiasts.

Well, it must be that time of year...

Sounds like you had a good result from a potential catastrophe there. Did the struts maintain sufficient residual pressure to prevent grounding as...

Cheers Tim! Well, I was ducking lucky to have the luck I needed. Underside painting finished, rear subframe back on:

Which meant the BX could...

A trip to Barry's a while ago now, has meant an oil change sorted, banging sound at the back was a rear arm bearing, thats been sorted & no more...

Thanks chaps! That was honestly my thoughts Phil, so much so I even measured up the decal on my TZD scrapper.

Much appreciated Des, the travelogue is entertaining and enlightening, so thank you for taking the time.

Decided to put it back together and mot it. Will be ready for sale within 2 weeks. Cheers

The weather's effed up loads of events this weekend. :(

Well, the JB Weld stuff is very, very good. Pictures coming later of that episode.

This morning I have been chasing rot. It's time to get the bumper...

Happy Birthday Mike

We miss you and Timex!

Yeah, that was a success :roll:. New LHM leak on the bottom of the octopus. Some undefined leak on the new off side strut. So looks like a poorly...

That looks LOADS better! Great effort

Andy's gone?!! :o What's happened? Come back soon mate. :)

So, the results!

Missed seeing it up

Hoses manifold

No leaks at the suspension leak return and breather

Minor leak at that 11 nut...

Or possibly, the brushes in the alternator have worn out/disintegrated so the spring behind is contacting the windings directly?

Hi Folks,

Best pipe up I suppose :)

Yes, thanks to Tim the estate has passed onto Charlotte and I.

It will return, just maybe not as quickly as I...

Thanks everyone, got out of hospital on Friday and recovering well. Stratford will be too soon - still won't be allowed to drive by then - should be...

So, I had to sell the BX last month due to hideous skintness of the worst kind. Another Autoshite member (that's four owners from there on the trot)...
